The 8 Best Cooling Comforters of 2023

The Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter is silky soft and truly cool to the touch. That’s why it made it to the top of my list for the overall best cooling comforter. It’s machine-washable, has a wavy stitch pattern and comes in three colors: arctic blue, cool gray and ivory. Two of those colors are reversible, so you can easily switch up your bedding. It’s made with Tencel lyocell and poly fibers, and the cover is nylon and spandex.

Besides the feel and look, the Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter is also great for wicking away moisture. It kept me dry, and when I turned to my side in the middle of the night, the other side of the comforter was still cool to the touch. If you prefer bedding with a little more fluff or don’t want to use this as your sole comforter, I recommend using the Rest Evercool as a top sheet or a blanket. Either way, sleeping with it will keep you from waking up covered in sweat. Rest Duvet often has sales, and you can usually find this comforter for under $180 with discounts.   

Pros:

• Soft and very cool to the touch
• Comes in three colors; two are reversible 
• Wicks away moisture

Cons:

• Thinner and wrinkles easily 
• Doesn’t have anchor loops if you wanted to use it as a duvet insert

If you loved everything about the Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter but wished  it was fluffier and had anchor loops, then the Slumber Cloud UltraCool Comforter is for you. The truly cool-to the-touch cover is made with nylon and spandex, and the filling is 100% polyester fibers. It’s machine-washable and can be a comforter or a duvet insert. 

I love how soft and fluffy this comforter is — and much like its name, it feels like a cloud. I noticed, however, that it might not be thin or lightweight enough for some hot sleepers. If that’s you, I recommend the thinner Rest Evercool, instead.     

Pros:

• Soft and truly cool to the touch
• Fluffy, feels like a cloud
• Temperature regulating

Cons:

• Only comes in white
• Might not be light enough for some hot sleepers

If you’re on a budget or looking for a cooling comforter with the best value, the Silk and Snow Down Alternative Comforter is by far the best option. Made with down-like microfiber fill and a square baffle construction, the comforter is both machine-washable and hypoallergenic. The corners also have anchor loops if you wanted to turn it into a duvet insert.  

While I wouldn’t say that the outer shell is soft or cool to the touch, it is light and made of 100% cotton. There are also all-season and winter thickness options, but hot sleepers should stick to the lightweight version.    

Pros:

• Can be a duvet insert or a comforter 
• Has anchor loops 
• The best value for your money

Cons:

• Not soft or cool to the touch 
• A bit of the fill may escape 

Hot sleepers should look for cooling comforters that are made with the right materials and are also the right weight. Truly lightweight comforters are hard to come by, but the Brooklinen Down Comforter is just right. The outer shell is made with 100% long-staple cotton and has a baffle box construction (meaning that the filling won’t get stuck in one place). The down cluster and feather fill has been sustainable sourced from Hutterite Farms in Canada and is Downmark Certified. 

I like how fluffy this comforter is, and I can see it as a duvet insert or a comforter on its own. However, just like any down comforter, be aware that some fill may escape. Also, dry-clean or spot-clean only. 

Pros:

Cons:

• Only available in white
• A bit of the fill may escape

Sijo specializes in sustainable sleep products, and as such, most of its bedding is made from eucalyptus fibers — one of the most sustainable fabrics. The Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus Comforter is cool to the touch, lightweight and has two types of anchor loops for a duvet cover. The cover and the filling is 100% Tencel lyocell, which is naturally cool and moisture-wicking. 

In addition to being the best temperature-regulating cooling comforter on this list, it is also the best comforter for those with allergies. Eucalyptus is naturally hypoallergenic, and the comforter has been certified Asthma and Allergy Friendly. While I didn’t find this comforter as soft as some of the others on this list, its high-quality materials are hard to beat. 

Pros:

Cons:

• Not too soft
• Not available in Twin or Twin XL

Cozy Earth products feel and look luxurious, and its Bamboo Comforter is no exception. It has detailed stitching along the edge, has a baffle box construction and feels cool to the touch. It looks great as a standalone comforter. Both the cover and the filling are 100% Viscose from bamboo — which is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping you cool.  

I tested the standard fill which I found cool and light enough for hot sleepers but can also help to keep you warm during colder months. I see this comforter as all-season. While this is the most expensive on the list, Cozy Earth does have sales.  

Pros:

• Made with 100% Viscose from bamboo
• Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking 
• Has anchor loops 

Cons:

• Expensive
• Not the softest 

Birch is one the best organic and natural bedding brands out there. If you’re conscientious about your bedding and the places in which the material comes from, look no further than Birch. Its Natural Down Duvet Insert is a mix of white down and wool down, which both meet the Responsible Down Standard. The cover is made of organic cotton fibers that help to wick moisture and keep you cool. 

While this comforter is meant to be all season, I found it to be heavier than the other comforters on this list. However, it’s still very fluffy and can still be suitable for some hot sleepers.   

Pros:

• Natural down and wool fill 
• Features organic cotton 
• Fluffy 

Cons:

• Expensive and heavier  
• Not available in Twin or Twin XL

Down alternative comforters are both eco-conscious and typically more affordable. Made without animal features or fur, the Layla Down Alternative Comforter feels pretty close to the real thing. The cover is made from 100% cotton, and its fill consists of 700 fill power down alternative fibers. Layla calls this fill Cluster-Loft, which is soft, fluffy and designed to not retain heat.  

It’s available in both white and gray, and instead of the usual baffle box design, Layla’s comforter has an octagon pattern. This still keeps the fill from piling at one end. I would say that this can be a stand alone comforter or a duvet insert. It has four anchor loops if you decide on the latter. 

Pros:

• Fluffy, light and the cover is made of 100% cotton
• Available in gray and white
• Layla often has deals

Cons:

• Not cool to the touch 
• Not too soft 

Casper’s Lightweight Humidity Fighting Duvet is made with a 100% cotton shell and filled with ethically sourced down. It has an added layer of merino wool that helps to wick away any moisture. While it doesn’t have the typical baffle box design, there are sewn-in long rectangles that keep the down in place. There are also anchor loops for a duvet cover — which is a good idea considering that the duvet isn’t too soft. 

Ultimately, this duvet didn’t make my list due to the price. The Brooklinen Down Comforter is lighter, softer and costs $80 less.  

The Cool Plus Blanket from Coop Sleep Goods is cool to the touch — just like its Cool Plus Pillow that I tested for a round-up of the best cooling pillows. Similarly to the Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter, the Cool Plus Blanket has a nylon and spandex blend cover and is filled with nylon and poly fibers. However, this blanket is thinner than the Rest Evercool, and I can sometimes feel the filling bunching up in some areas. 

Regardless, I still think this is a great cooling product. It’s more like a blanket than a comforter, so if you’re looking for a cooling addition to your bedding or something to keep you cool while you lounge on the couch, then this is a great choice.

I like the fact that the Sleep Number True Temp Blanket comes in five fun colors. Out of all the comforters I tested, this had the most variety. The blanket is lightweight but feels a little rough. The cover has a 300 thread count and is made of cotton and polyester. I would say it’s cool to the touch but not as cool as the others on my list. It is filled with polyester and what Sleep Number called 37.5 technology, which refers to material embedded with volcanic minerals that helps to wick away moisture.

Again, this is more of a blanket than a comforter. That being said, you can absolutely use this as a cooling comforter, I just wish it was softer and more comfortable.
