Sleep cool, wake fresh

Why bamboo helps you sleep cooler

If you wake up too warm, tangled in a duvet and flipping your pillow for the cool side, you are not alone. Getting cool is part of how your body falls asleep. According to the Sleep Foundation, your core temperature naturally drops as you approach sleep, and a bedroom that is too warm interferes with deep and REM sleep. The right bed helps your body along, rather than trapping the heat.

Breathable by nature

Ackly Bamboo

Breathable by nature

Our Ackly Bamboo collection is a blend of 65% bamboo and 35% long-staple cotton. Natural fibres let heat and moisture move away from your skin, rather than sitting against it like many synthetics.

We designed the Ackly blend to regulate temperature and wick moisture, so you stay drier and more comfortable through the night.

Cool to the touch

400TC sateen

Cool to the touch

A smooth 400-thread-count sateen weave gives Ackly Bamboo its silky feel, cool against the skin when you slip into bed and soft on warm, sensitive skin.

Every piece is OEKO-TEX certified, independently tested for harmful substances.

Layer up, layer down

Layers you can take off

One heavy duvet is all or nothing. A layered bed lets you cool down without fully waking:

  • A breathable fitted sheet with a 41cm deep pocket that stays smooth all night.
  • A flat sheet to sleep under alone on the warmest nights.
  • A lighter duvet in a breathable cover, folded to the foot of the bed when you need it.
  • A spare pillowcase to swap for a cool one in the night.

Five ways to sleep cooler tonight

  • Aim for a bedroom of around 18–20°C, as the Sleep Foundation recommends.
  • Take a warm bath or shower one to two hours before bed. It helps your body cool down afterwards.
  • Open a window or use a fan to keep air moving.
  • Wear light, breathable nightwear.
  • Close curtains or blinds during the day to keep the bedroom from heating up.

A bed cannot cool a hot room on its own. The Sleep Foundation describes bamboo sheets as breathable, smooth and soft, and notes some people find crisp cotton sleeps cooler, so a cool room and light layers matter too.

  • Soft, comfortable and great quality

    I’ve been really pleased with this fitted sheet. The bamboo fabric is incredibly soft, breathable and feels lovely to sleep on. It fits the mattress perfectly and stays in place without slipping off the corners. The quality is exactly as described, and even after washing it has remained soft and kept its shape. I would definitely buy another one and highly recommend it.

  • So delighted with the quality of my new sheets!

    So delighted with the quality of my new sheets!
    Looked online for sheets that fulfilled my requirements and was drawn to the sage green checkerboard sheet. I’d not seen such a design before and thought it very attractive.
    I ordered a set and on delivery was very pleased with the look and feel (silky smooth) of the sheets.
    I could not have been more pleased.
    I will definitely be buying from Sheetstory next time I need new sheets.

  • Bamboo mattress protector

    Wanted this protector for ages as previous one was passed it. This bamboo mattress protector is lovely to sleep on and the bonus of deep skirt and elastic for corners is great. Delivery was quick and well packaged.

Hot sleeper FAQs

Still have a question?

Our team is happy to help you choose.

Are bamboo sheets good for hot sleepers?

Bamboo sheets are breathable and smooth, and many hot sleepers find them comfortable. The Sleep Foundation notes some people find crisp cotton cooler, so a cool room and light layers matter too.

What makes Ackly Bamboo different?

It is a blend of 65% bamboo and 35% long-staple cotton in a 400-thread-count sateen. The bamboo brings softness and breathability; the cotton adds strength and structure.

What should I buy first?

Start with a fitted sheet and pillowcases, the layers that touch your skin most, then add a flat sheet for warm nights.

Do you deliver across the UK?

Yes. Delivery is free on UK orders over £80.
