🏆 Top Cooling Sheets

In-Depth Review and Process

Sleepless nights got you steaming? Yeah, we feel you. So, our review squad set out on a mission to find the actual Holy Grail of cooling sheets. We wanted to try the best cooling sheets and determine which one was truly the most comfortable and cooling.

To see which truly was the best, we ranked each one on a few important factors. Each factor has to do with sleep or cooling, the two main things we wanted to test during this review. Every set of sheets was ranked on the overall:

Coolness: Touch, Temperature Regulating, Moisture-Wicking
Softness: Texture, Skin Comfort, Luxuriousness
Sleep Quality: Restfulness, Easy Sleep, Waking Feeling
Durability: Construction, Pilling, Colorfastness
Value: Price-Performance, Longevity, Satisfaction

Things We Looked For

How we picked and tested

Panel Testing

We tested Bed Sheets with sleep experts, and we concealed the identities of the bed sheets to eliminate bias
Real-world Trials

We sleep on bed sheets for weeks and put them through wash tests to make sure they survive day-to-day use.
Wide Range of Materials

The bed sheets we tested have a wide variety of materials like bamboo, linen, sateen, etc.
Price Range

To give readers a full picture of the category, we tested models priced as low as $35 and as high as $400.

Is It Worth Paying More for Cooling Sheets?

Additionally, we wanted to review sheets across a wide spectrum of materials and price points. We tested sheets made with bamboo, linen, sateen (a version of cotton weave), and more. We also tested sheets that are relatively cheap (Amazon level), all the way up to hyper luxury (yes, we ACTUALLY bought $400 sheets!). Knowing if you have to spend big $$$ to get good cooling sheets was important for us, and we most certainly learned that there is a ceiling to how “luxurious” something can feel.

Let’s get down to the detailed reviews for each cooling bed sheet.

Our Top Choice

When it comes to finding the ultimate cooling sheets, the Dosaze ThermaCool Sheet set reigns supreme. On both cooling fronts, it totally delivered. At first touch, the sheets feel soft, cool, and totally luxurious. Over an entire night of sleep, they provided consistent, all-night cooling. Additionally, the moisture-wicking was a real game-changer, which is one of the benefits of the Dosaze sheet material.

The sheets are made with bamboo and spun into something known as “viscose,” a premium material that is often used as a silk substitute.

In gathering the supplies to perform this test, we learned that top-of-the-line bedsheets can be very expensive… and, in our opinion, unreasonably so. Dosaze was able to provide an incredible product at one of the most reasonable prices of all that we tested.

Fantastic Moisture Wicking
Soft, Comfortable Feel
Equal Parts Quality and Value

Aside from sheer cost-value, we also found the bamboo blend among the best for moisture-wicking while also being durable and comfortable. When compared to cotton options, the Dosaze wicked away sweat faster. Plus, we found their 3-year warranty, 60-night trial, and free returns an excellent “insurance policy” for potential customers looking to try the sheets out.

So, if you’re on the hunt for cooling sheets that deliver on all fronts, Dosaze should be at the top of your list. It’s the perfect balance of coolness, comfort, and value, promising restful nights and sweet dreams under the softest, coolest stars.

Runner Up: Rest Evercool®+ Cooling Sheet Set

Pros

Cool-to-the-touch Evercool® fabric, noticeable right out of the package
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified
30-day returns and a 1-year warranty

Cons

No active heat-absorbing technology like the Dosaze PCM fill
It’s a synthetic performance knit, not a natural fiber — some reviewers say it feels more like athletic wear than a traditional bed sheet, and slicker than they expected
Some reviewers note the fabric can feel slippery
Pricier than most on this list — $269 list, discounted to $188 during their current sale

Rest’s Evercool®+ Sheet Set was the closest thing to the Dosaze ThermaCool in our testing. The fabric is cool to the touch right out of the package, and it’s one of the only other sheet sets on this list backed by real third-party lab testing (OEKO-TEX Standard 100) for its cooling claims.

Where it falls short of the Dosaze is fabric feel and how long the cooling effect lasts. Because Evercool is a synthetic performance knit rather than cotton or bamboo, it can come across more like a technical fabric than a soft bed sheet — some reviewers describe it as slicker or more synthetic-feeling than they expected. It also doesn’t have the phase-change gel fill that keeps the Dosaze feeling cool for hours rather than minutes, and it runs meaningfully higher on price even on sale. Still, if you want a widely available cooling set and don’t mind the performance-fabric feel, Rest is a solid second choice.

Third Place: Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set

Pros

Luxurious look
Soft fabric
Brand name

Cons

Pricey
Not as cool

While Dosaze reigns supreme in pure coolness, Cozy Earth bamboo sheets offer a close third, cocooning you in softness that rivals hotel bedding. Their 100% viscose from bamboo with sateen weave boasts a cloud-like texture, slightly warmer than Dosaze but still breathable and moisture-wicking.

Though their price tag falls in the higher range, it’s an investment for those seeking ultimate comfort and a decadent sleep experience. Hot sleepers might favor Dosaze, but for those craving plush softness and don’t mind a touch more warmth, Cozy Earth might just be worth the splurge.

Fourth Place: Slumber Cloud Performance Sheet Set

Pros

Moisture-wicking
Breathable

Cons

Not as soft as expected

Slumber Cloud’s sheets excel at moisture-wicking. While they may not be the softest sheets on the market, their smooth texture is comfortable enough for most sleepers. But compared to Dosaze sheets, Slumber Cloud falls a bit short.

Dosaze boasts an unparalleled level of softness, like sleeping on a cloud (literally!), while also excelling in both breathability and moisture-wicking. So, if you prioritize ultimate comfort and temperature regulation, Dosaze might be a better choice.

Fifth Place: Sheex Original Performance Sheet Set

Pros

Temperature regulating
Smooth textile

Cons

Need to adjust sheets throughout the night

Sheex was a little tricky for us because, right out of the box, it felt extremely soft. In fact, it probably has the softest hand feel out of any product we tested. The issue, however, is the material they used to get that softness.

Sheex used a blend of 87% polyester and 13% spandex, and the closest thing we have to compare it to is a thick pair of women’s leggings. Overall, the sheets are thick, stretchy, and soft, but when you try to sleep on them, some problems arise.

First, the spandex will literally pull your hair out. This wasn’t just an issue with us but also with other reviewers online. Then, the staticky properties of the fabric will hold onto the hairs, resulting in a white sheet that looks like a shaggy dog was using it as a bed. Keep your vacuum handy. Additionally, the price was a little much for something that is just polyester. In the same price range, we would recommend the Slumber Cloud Performance Sheets.

Sixth Place: Parachute Home Linen Sheet Set

Pros

Effortless elegance
Breathability

Cons

Not as cool as other materials

Parachute’s linen set lands in sixth place because it’s interesting and niche — probably not for everyone, but the people who like it really love it.

Parachute’s linen set was the only linen set on our list, and they are certainly the most unique. They certainly aren’t traditionally soft, but there isn’t something endearing about the rougher hand-feel that they have that feels nostalgic. Linen is historically extremely durable, and sheets made from it usually get softer over time and with each wash. On top of that, they are often dry and good for wicking moisture.

The main issue with the Parachute sheets is that they aren’t traditionally soft right away, and some people may not prefer that. If silky-smooth and soft are essential, fresh linen isn’t ideal for that. On top of that, they are pretty expensive. Parachute’s set was almost $350, bringing it close to the Cozy Earth sheets in terms of price.

Seventh Place: CGK Unlimited Store Bed Sheets

Pros

Kind of cooling
Decent moisture-wicking
Good value

Cons

You get what you paid for

While they may not win any awards for trendsetting design, Amazon’s budget-friendly sheets quietly hold their own. Their moisture-wicking abilities are decent, meaning they help keep you comfortably dry throughout the night, even for those who tend to run warm.

Now, let’s manage expectations. They won’t magically transform your bed into a cloud-nine slumber haven, but the comfort level is respectable. Plus, with a range of colors and sizes to choose from, you can easily find a set that blends with your existing bedding. If you crave the ultimate in luxury softness or have specific needs for temperature regulation, you might want to consider exploring other options.

Eighth Place: Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set

Pros

Buttery soft
Great for cold sleepers

Cons

No free return

Brooklinen sheets offer a comfortable sleep experience. However, they’re not the coolest sheets on the block. For cold sleepers who prioritize plushness, they’re a good option.

But if you tend to run hot, you might still find yourself feeling toasty despite the softness. Consider other brands focusing on breathability if temperature regulation is a bigger concern. Remember, the best sheets are the ones that match your individual needs and budget, not just the softest ones available.

How We Test It

To ensure rigorous testing, we implemented a multi-phase approach:

Initial Sensory Assessment: Each set was evaluated for fabric feel, drape, and overall first impression. Softness was assessed on a standardized scale, while drape was judged based on ease of movement and wrinkle resistance.
Temperature Regulation Trial: Equipped with a digital thermometer, we spent nights under each sheet set, recording temperature changes and overall comfort levels. Nighttime temperature and humidity were also monitored to ensure consistent testing conditions.
Durability Investigation: Every set went through multiple wash and dry cycles, with close inspection for shrinking, fraying, or loss of color. Fabric thickness and weave density were also analyzed to assess long-term wearability.
Fit and Security Evaluation: Deep pocket depth, corner grip strength, and overall sheet movement were rigorously evaluated. We simulated various sleep movements, assessing the sheets’ ability to stay put throughout the night.
Value & Affordability Analysis: Each set’s price was weighed against its performance across all categories. The goal was to identify sheets offering optimal value for their price point.

The Final Verdict:

Dosaze ThermaCool Sheet Set reigns supreme with its unbeatable combination of coolness, comfort, and value. But the perfect sheets are a personal journey, so consider your budget and priorities to find your own slice of sleep haven. Sweet dreams!

Transparency Above All:

This thorough methodology aimed to eliminate subjective bias and provide you with an objective analysis of each sheet set. Of course, individual preferences for softness, fit, and temperature control exist. This research serves as a starting point, empowering you to make informed decisions based on your unique sleep needs and budget.

The quest for the perfect sheet set is personal. We encourage you to explore, test, and discover what best lulls you into dreamland.
