There are several things you can do to prevent night sweats from ruining your sleep: lowering the thermostat, buying a cooling pad, getting cool linen sheets, using a room cooler and so on.<\/p>\n

But if you are looking for a quick and easy solution that won\u2019t cost you much money, I recommend simply changing your duvet.<\/p>\n

Maybe your current duvet is actually the one causing night sweats.<\/p>\n

In this buying guide, we are going to review the best duvets for night sweats. These duvets have two essential characteristics: they are breathable and they are good at wicking away sweat.<\/p>\n

Before we get to the reviews, here are some of the features to look for when shopping for a cooling duvet.<\/p>\n

What to Consider When Buying a Duvet for Night Sweats<\/h2>\n

a. Tog Rating<\/h3>\n

You may have seen this term when shopping for a new duvet. It\u2019s an indication of how warm the duvet is.<\/p>\n

The higher the tog the warmer the duvet will be. So if you are looking for a cooling duvet, you want a lower tog.<\/p>\n

Summer duvets have a tog between 1.5 and 4.5. These are the best for night sweats. A duvet with a tog rating higher than 8 will be too warm and is more ideal for winter and autumn.<\/p>\n

b. Type of Fill<\/h3>\n

If you want a duvet with excellent cooling, look for one with natural fill.<\/p>\n

Compared to synthetic fill, natural fill such as down is more breathable allowing heat and moisture to escape with ease.<\/p>\n

Duvets with synthetic fill are cheaper but tend to trap more heat and moisture. But there are a few good ones that try to replicate the same level of breathability as down.<\/p>\n

Our favourites are Hollowfibre and microfiber.<\/p>\n

They are not as cool as down but they are great if you are on a budget. They are also the best if you are allergic to natural down filling. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

c. Fabric<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t just consider the material inside the duvet; the casing is also important especially for wicking away sweat.<\/p>\n

Cotton is the standard fabric used on duvets. It is soft, stays fairly cool and absorbs moisture well.<\/p>\n

Percale cotton is especially good. It\u2019s very light and airy.<\/p>\n

Other good types of cotton fabric include Egyptian, Pima and Supima.<\/p>\n

Silk is also good though it does not cool as well as cotton.<\/p>\n

Some duvets use special fabric blends with materials like bamboo and rayon to boost cooling.<\/p>\n

An affordable option is microfiber. It feels really soft, it\u2019s durable and does a great job keeping you cool and dry.<\/p>\n

Avoid flannel, polyester and heavy upholstery grade fabrics. They sleep too warm especially in hot weather. Most will also not let sweat escape.<\/p>\n

d. Weight<\/h3>\n

The weight and feel of a duvet will depend on the type of fill and casing material used.<\/p>\n

Generally, you want a lightweight duvet that doesn\u2019t feel too stuffy at night. Even a breathable duvet can get hot if it\u2019s made too heavy.<\/p>\n

e. Size<\/h3>\n

Different brands will offer their own assortment of sizes. Check the available sizes before you start looking at other features.<\/p>\n

The most common sizes are twin, double, queen and king and super king.<\/p>\n

Because duvets tend to have a shorter overhang compared to comforters, I recommend ordering one size bigger than your bed especially for couples. This ensures you are not having a tug of war over the duvet at night.<\/p>\n

f. Cleaning<\/h3>\n

Finally, check how easy the duvet is to clean and maintain.<\/p>\n

If you get a natural fill duvet, it\u2019s essential that you also buy a duvet cover. Such duvets are typically not washable.<\/p>\n

Most synthetic fill duvets can be thrown in the washing machine. But there\u2019ll usually be a warning to use a gentle cycle and low heat when washing and drying.<\/p>\n

Read the cleaning instructions before buying to know what kind of care is needed.<\/p>\n
