9 Editor-Favorite Amazon Sheet Sets for a Crisp, Cool Summer Slumber

Brooklinen’s Sateen Sheet Set has been a House Beautiful editor-favorite for years, and with its 100 percent long-staple cotton construction, it’s a great option for the summer.

“They're silky to the touch without feeling too slippery, and I prefer them over linen sheets in summer since they're just as cooling without looking wrinkled all the time," says Senior Commerce Editor Samantha Jones. These sheets also have a subtle luminous finish, and the sleek construction is great for wicking away heat while achieving a put-together bedscape. "I've had them for a little over a year now and haven't noticed any pilling, loose threads, or snagging,” Jones adds.

If you’re in the market for something breathable and don’t mind—or in fact prefer—a thinner construction, Cozy Earth’s best-selling Bamboo Sheet Set is another HB editor-backed pick. The bamboo-derived material is naturally moisture-wicking, and its porous material can pull heat away from the body, which helps regulate your body temperature throughout the night.

Plus, the brand’s sheets are ultra-soft; just ask Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner, who audibly gasped when she felt the sheets for the first time. “I cannot overstate this enough: Cozy Earth’s bamboo sheets are some of the softest I’ve ever felt,” she says, noting that the thin construction makes them feel airy and breathable. “They aren’t marketed to be moisture-wicking, but I do tend to sweat in my sleep—no matter how cold it is in the room—and in my time with these sheets, I have never woken up in a puddle.”

Ready for truly high-tech sheets to keep you cool at night? This set uses a special lightweight fabric, nicknamed ‘Evercool,’ that claims to rapidly cool your skin as soon as you slip into bed—faster than silk, bamboo, and cotton. The lightweight and buttery fabric also helps regulate your temperature throughout the night, keeping you more comfortable, per the brand.

To back up these claims, independent health and wellness company SleepScore Labs conducted a study using data from a 1,000-night sleep trial. In it, they found that "95 percent [of participants involved in the study] found the cooling sensation [of the Evercool+ sheet set] better compared to regular sheets."

What’s more, the weave of these sheets is also treated with silver, which can help reduce odor-causing bacteria and keep the sheets fresher between washes.

Associate Shopping Editor Janae McKenzie is generally a hot sleeper, and her favorite set is these eucalyptus sheets from Buffy. Just like bamboo, eucalyptus-derived fabrics are also naturally breathable and have moisture-wicking capabilities, making them a great pick for the summer heat.

These sheets from Buffy in particular stand out for their cool-to-the-touch feel, according to Cherner. "These sheets gave me the most refreshing sleep I've had in my life," she says. “[They] feel chilled under your body, which is pretty impressive.”

The sheets are dyed with OEKO-TEX-certified plant-based dyes, and the brand claims they are fully biodegradable and compostable.

These under-$100 sheets are a mainstay in Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao’s guest room and have earned her many compliments for their naturally cool-to-the-touch feel. "Every single guest, from my sister-in-law to cousins, who have slept on these sheets, loves them!” Liao says. “They're cooling and have the perfect thickness to them.”

The rayon fabric is derived from bamboo, which allows it to offer a breathable and lightweight construction without using a higher-priced material like silk. We also appreciate that the sheets are wrinkle-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about your bedding looking unkempt after one or two nights.

With a lightweight and buttery feel, these sheets offer moisture-wicking capabilities thanks to their lyocell fabric derived from eucalyptus. This means they are naturally hypoallergenic and OEKO-TEX Class 1 certified, making them great for shoppers with asthma or allergies. Cherner uses them in her home and raves about the silky sateen weave, which makes them a little more substantial in weight than other weave types—but no less cooling and breathable. “These are so light you won't even feel them, which is why I really love them,” Cherner says.

We love these bamboo sheets for their cooling capabilities, but also for the luxuriously silky feel, which is equally soothing on hot nights. "As a self-proclaimed sheets snob, I'm always down to try new bedding brands, but it takes a lot for me to be truly 'wowed,’” Mulvey says. “However, I recently tried these, and I have to say… wow. Not only [are they] moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating...but they're also ridiculously silky smooth."

The soft construction is thanks in part to its sateen weave, which naturally has a silky finish, but also thanks to the bamboo-derived fabric, which is smoother than other cooling fabrics like linen.
