Best Bedding for Night Sweats

Build a bed that buffers temperature swings, layer by layer — from mattress pad to pillow.

All buying guides

If your night sweats are followed by night chills…

…and then morning laundry, we’re here to help. Night sweats often come in cycles: you overheat, kick off the covers, then wake up cold. Bedding that only wicks moisture can’t stop that cycle.

Most “cooling” bedding is reactive: it wicks sweat after you are already too warm. Outlast® technology, which grew out of NASA-funded research into phase-change materials, is proactive. Microscopic phase-change materials absorb excess body heat as you warm up, store it, and release it back when you cool down — buffering temperature swings before they wake you.

Build a sleep system

Cooling works best when every layer breathes. Start where the most heat builds up, then work outward.

  • Mattress pad: stops heat rising from the mattress.
  • Sheets: the layer against your skin all night.
  • Comforter: regulates the air trapped around you.
  • Pillow: keeps your head and neck from overheating.

Habits that help

Keep the bedroom cool (around 65°F is a common recommendation), choose breathable sleepwear, and avoid heavy meals or alcohol close to bedtime. If night sweats are frequent or new, talk to your doctor.

Try it risk-free

Every order includes a 30-night trial with free US shipping and returns.
