Interested how you keep cool in the summer, I sure could use some input. I tried a microfiber fitted sheet that came in a bed in a bag comforter set, yeeesh, , I should add they did not fit my bed well, they were deep pocket and my mattress is not too deep, so they fit loose and stuck to me. Icky! I do not care for the cartoon character muslin sheet set I bought for kiddo either, hot and rough feeling. I also found discussions on thread count for cotton sheets, some say higher thread count is hotter, and I do not know the thread count in my sheets, it's all very confusing. Boy do I miss the sheets I slept on at my grandmothers as a child (granted they were likely from the early to mid 1900's), same sheets were both cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
I use cotton Oxford cloth sheets by Ralph Lauren. I recently had to buy a new bottom sheet, and it was not the same (sigh). The old one lasted about 7 years. Very comfortable, summer and winter. I can't sleep on any sheet with polyester.
New sheets are nothing like new ones. Old cotton sheets were cool in summer. Not crazy high thread count. Honestly the cheap sheets from 20 years ago were good ones by today's standards. I lover old worn cotton sheets. There cool in summer too! We use flannel in winter as they are not cool to touch when you get in bed. And they hold heat Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk
we use the micro-fleece almost year round as our bedroom stays cool. this summer in the r-pod (RV), we used cotton percale sheets.
We have sheet sets for summer that have "cooling tech" built in. Supposedly they wick the moisture away. I do know they work. Soon enough, well break out the flannel sheets.
Nailed it Clem.... Old cotton was the best. My great grandmother had high count, stiff from starching sheets, no AC in her house on LI... those put me to sleep on weekends at her house like nothing else. These days it’s microfiber in the summer and flannel in the winter.
Haha, should be Old sheets are nothing like new ones. I guess I explain it in the rest of it though. Haha. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk
Bamboo thread "cool sheets" + 48" ceiling fan right over bed, running on the slowest speed possible + Central air set @ 72 degrees =
I might try the micro fiber sheets but we actually like fleece year around. But then to stay cool just run around outdoors naked and you'll be cool.
Yep we have a ceiling fan over bed as well. Except we run ours on High. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk
I haven’t found any to make that big of a difference. I can’t stand a hot pillow even more but when my head is buzzed, the pillow heats up fast. Have the air on 70 at night with a fan about 3-4’ from my body. Ceiling fan just isn’t enough
Same thing here, can't stand being hot while trying to sleep. I also hate that I have to lower the AC that low just to cool the upstairs at night enough to sleep half comfortable. I really need to look at 2 zone cooling but that's another bowl of wax.
This right here. Bamboo Clothing, Apparel & Accessories | Cariloha I know from experience down here in the south...we bought our first set in the Caribbean on a cruise. Used them for awhile, corner seam came loose. HQ in Utah, said send them back here to us, replaced free, have great warranty. Cooler than cotton, as soft as silk...not cheap, but good sheets aren't.
What's the middle part there?! That's not "cool"! We have some fancy cotton sheets that my aunt got us for a wedding gift, those are used in the summer, flannel in the winter...and a ceiling fan in the summer too...
Some pillows are much better at staying cool as well. The memory foam or bamboo pillows work well. Also we noticed a huge difference when we got a new mattress and box spring too. Airflow is what it is about. Old mattresses don't flow air as well as new ones.
Same here, but low ceilings, small fan with only 3 speeds. I sure do miss the one in my previous home 52" ish and 5 speeds, we used it on low year round, reversing direction according to winter or summer. We've slept with the fan on medium speed a few nights, but I have dry eye so when I wake up in the morning the outside corners are blood red, super irritated (eye drops don't do a thing), it scares people and super embarrassing and frustrating when people look sideways at WWW . So, it gets turned down to low when I come to bed though I still get the blood red eyes frequently, but not as bad. Opthomologist said it's not uncommon that some peoples lids separate in REM sleep, but if there is no oil in your tears, well, that's what happens.
Will you clarify bamboo pillow for me? Does bamboo refer to the fabric casing (like the bamboo sheets were mentioned earlier) or the filling? I recall a pillow on infomercials years ago that used some kind of husk for fill, is that it?
