Heat retention often comes from how bedding is layered and used — not just what it’s made of. Before replacing sheets or mattresses, small setup changes can help your bed release heat more effectively using what you already have.
Reduce Heat-Trapping Layers
- Remove unnecessary blankets
- Use a top sheet instead of heavy comforters
- Fold excess bedding away from your torso
Sleepwear & Skin Exposure
- Choose loose-fitting sleepwear
- Avoid tight or non-breathable fabrics
- Allow extremities like feet to release heat
Let the Bed Release Heat
- Pull covers back before bed to let heat dissipate
- Avoid overly thick mattress protectors if you sleep hot
- Air out bedding during the day when possible
