Here’s How To Stay Cool at Night in Summer (without A/C)

This tower fan consistently scores points with reviewers — it has over 35,000 reviews on Amazon and a score of 4.6 out of 5. It has everything you need from a tower fan: three quiet speeds, wide oscillation, night mode and even a remote control.

Although probably not as famous as Dyson’s line of vacuums, the brand’s sleek and modern (if not futuristic) fans are also very popular. The only downside is this one is about four times what a typical tower fan costs. But it also doubles as an air purifier, so you can use it all year long.

This budget pick isn’t packed full of features, but it does what you want it to do: It keeps the air moving. It has three different speeds, a timer that goes up to eight hours and it oscillates — all of which can be controlled with the remote.

This multifunctional sleep mask is a bargain and can serve a lot of purposes. The beads that fill the mask give a sort of weighted blanket effect over your eyes, helping to relieve pressure while also blocking out light. And for an extra cooling effect, you can throw the mask in the freezer before using it.

Instead of one solid rectangle of fabric, this mask from Manta Sleep connects two circular pieces that provide pressure around — but not directly on — your eyes. The eye pieces are filled with ceramic beads for a cooling effect that can be heightened by spending some time in the freezer.

This blackout eye mask from Ostrichpillow is great for sleeping in your bedroom or while traveling. The soft modal fabric and foam fill are very breathable. Plus, it has an adjustable strap, and it’s machine washable.

Our pick for the best pillow you can buy (cooling or otherwise), the Coop Sleep Goods Pillow has a machine-washable bamboo cover that keeps you cool all summer long and shredded memory foam that perfectly cradles your head. It also has adjustable fill, meaning you can make it as firm or soft as you want, depending on how you sleep.

When it comes to pillows, you can definitely trust that most top mattress brands will make a great quality pillow — and this cooling one from Casper is no exception. This foam pillow is cool to the touch and well-ventilated to allow for air flow.

Another adjustable pillow, this option is brought to you by the makers of Brooklinen. The gel-infused antimicrobial foam filling keeps you cool, while the zippers on the sides of the pillow allow you to easily adjust it to your desired firmness.

Not only are the Percale Sheets from Riley our choice for the best sheets you can buy in 2022 (and won the same in 2021), they are great for hot sleepers thanks to the cooling properties of percale, which is made from long staple cotton and one of the most comfortable materials you can sleep on.

Made from Tencel eucalyptus lyocell, these sateen weave sheets are pretty much made with the sole purpose of keeping you cool. They’re dyed with OEKO-TEX certified natural dyes and are also biodegradable. Plus they come in a variety of soft, pastel colors and patterns.

These are the coolest sheets out there — both in look and feel. These linen sheets have an immediate cooling effect, while also being cozy and soft at the same time. Oeko-Tex certified, these sheets are made to last and will only get better with time.

This comforter is so cool that NASA had to get involved. It’s lightweight and filled with a hypoallergenic, down-like fiberfill that still offers some weight for chillier nights. Plus, it has a 300 thread count cotton shell that adds to the comforter’s breathability.

You may remember this name from the cooling sheets listed above. What can we say? Buffy does it again. Both the cover and fill are made with the same eucalyptus lyocell that keeps you cool while absorbing moisture. The only catch is it’s on the pricier side.

Although not specifically designed or marketed as a cooling comforter, this Amazon find offers excellent breathability, thanks to its soft, brushed fabric exterior. As an added bonus, it’s machine washable and has almost 10,000 5-star reviews.

Another find from SlumberCloud’s NASA-approved tech, this temperature-regulating mattress pad absorbs or releases heat depending on what you need. It’s also Oeko-Tex certified and comes in a variety of sizes, including Twin XL and California King.

This mattress pad owes its cooling properties to 100 percent viscose from bamboo. The topper is quilted to keep the filling from moving around, and the outer shell is soft and moisture-wicking. Plus, the entire thing is machine washable.

This copper-infused foam topper keeps you cool and comfortable. The topper’s washable cover even has yarn in it that adjusts depending on the temperature of your room. And it’s all made in the USA.

As our pick for the best mattress for hot sleepers, this is an all-around great mattress with the added bonus of keeping you cool. The hybrid mattress has perforated foam to allow for extra air flow and breathability. The only downside is its high price tag.

Tuft & Needle’s trademarked Adaptive foam ensures that you stay cool at night by adding cooling gel and graphite to traditional foam, both of which are tailor-made to keep you cool.

This is our budget pick for the best mattresses of 2022, so not only will you get a cool sleep, but you’ll also get a great deal. A layer of graphite- and copper-infused foam helps to keep the night sweats at bay. And at just $449 for a queen mattress, you’ll never wonder if you made the right investment.

Designed to help you stay cool and wake up refreshed, the Eight Sleep Pod Cover is one of the coolest pieces of tech you can buy for your bed right now. With dual-sided temperature control, a silent vibrating alarm and advanced sleep metrics like time slept and heart rate, this will single-handedly change the way you sleep. The temperature can easily be adjusted through the companion app and, once it’s set up, it’s relatively low maintenance.

Much like the Eight Sleep, the Dock Pro from Sleepme can lower your bed’s temperature to 55 degrees in just minutes. The biggest difference is that you can buy a cover for just one side of the bed, an option Eight Sleep does not offer. The price above ($1,149) is what a one-sided queen cover would cost you, with a dual-sided cover setting you back $1,899. The cover is washable and the unit can be discreetly hidden under the bed.

Much more affordable than its counterparts, the BedJet 3 is an air-based cooling system that shoots air directly under your blankets. Unlike a standard tower fan, this allows you to stay cool while still having the security of your favorite comforter on top of you. Temperatures can get as low as 66 degrees and you can easily control the machine with BedJet’s companion app.
