As temperatures climb, refreshing your bedding is one of the simplest ways to stay comfortable and stylish through the warmer months. From choosing breathable fabrics to upgrading your layers, the right pieces can transform your sleep space into a cool and relaxing retreat.

We tapped Tandy Avery, VP of Product Development at LUXOME, to share her best advice for building a bed that stays light, luxurious, and temperature-regulated—even on the warmest nights.

Choose Materials That Breathe

Not all sheets are created equal, and in summer, fabric choice can make all the difference. “For breathable sheets, choose natural fibers, like cotton, linen, and bamboo-derived fabrics,” says Avery. “They allow for better air circulation, encourage ventilation, and minimize overheating.”

Materials like viscose from bamboo, found in LUXOME’s Luxury Sheet Set and Lightweight Blanket, offer an ideal combination of softness and performance. The fabric wicks away moisture, regulates body temperature, and feels effortlessly silky.

Don’t Sacrifice Style for Comfort

Cooling bedding doesn’t have to look clinical. In fact, the most effective summer beds manage to feel both elevated and easy.

“At LUXOME, we believe comfort and design should go hand in hand,” says Avery. “From the drape and texture of the fabric to the color palette and stitching details, every element is chosen to create a luxurious product without compromising its function.”

Look for bedding with thoughtful touches—lightweight materials that still hold structure, soft finishes that look inviting even when the bed is unmade, and palettes that feel fresh and breezy.

Embrace Technology

While natural fibers are key, innovation also has its place in creating a cooler sleep environment. “Cooling bedding utilizing innovative technologies or materials that move moisture away from the body before you start to sweat [can make a huge difference],” Avery explains.

LUXOME’s Climasense Comforter, powered by 37.5® Technology, adjusts to your body’s needs, helping manage temperature and humidity in real time. Paired with a lightweight, breathable sheet set, the result is a bed that works with your body, not against it, through every heat wave.

Why Sleep Temperature Matters

A cooler bed doesn’t just feel good—it’s also essential for good health.

“In order to fall asleep, your body temperature needs to drop,” Avery notes. “Good quality, cooling bedding can make a huge difference in creating an optimal sleep environment, which is key to waking relaxed and refreshed.”

Making small changes like switching out heavy comforters for breathable layers can set the stage for deeper, more restorative sleep.
