Bedding for Hot Sleepers
Hot Sleepers
Sleep Cool, Wake Fresh
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.

Read reviews ↓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
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.
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.

Based on 165 Ackly Bamboo reviews. Here’s what customers say about sleeping cooler.
"I don’t as a rule write reviews, but I need to let all those ‘ladies of a certain age’ know that there is hope for you if you suffer from night sweats and sleepless nights. I’ve searched for years for the solution to searingly hot summer nights (and to be honest winter ones too!). I suffered from poor sleep for many years because I could never get comfortable or cool enough. Well, eureka!! I’ve found the answer! ☺️ The bamboo bedding I ordered (in desperation) from Sleep Story arrived and it was on my bed within minutes. It’s gloriously soft and sumptuous. When you climb into bed it feels like a cool hug and every time you move there’s a lovely cool spot just for me. I can barely believe that the solution to endless sleepless nights is as simple as new bedding. Thank you Sleep Story, I can’t wait to order more. (I do hope you start making more colours and patterns because these are superb!) 👌"
"The bamboo bedding is so soft! I'd never had bamboo before and so glad I tried it! Hot nights, it's cool. Cool nights it keeps you warm. Unbelievable!"
"Just adore this sheet, feels soft and flowing, akin to silk. It’s cool in the hot weather, thank you so much."
"These pillows were a dream to sleep on! So soft and comfortable! I found them particularly good in the hot weather as the bamboo is heat regulating. Lovely finish to them, they look excellent quality! Would recommend!"
"I bought one fitted sheet and was amazed at how smooth they felt and how much cooler there were to sleep on! That is why I have now bought a second one. I have also told my children how amazing they are and they are also getting them. BEST sheets ever!"
"We were so pleased with our first purchase of our Ackly Bamboo flat sheet, we ordered two more! They feel so comfortably soft, whilst also keeping us warm when cool and cool when warm! We would definitely recommend anyone thinking of purchasing to do so - you will not regret it. Thank you Ackly!"
"It's the second sheet I have brought.They are the most cooling and comfortable sheets ever."
"Delighted with my Sheet Story Bamboo sheets, so soft and definitely cooler than standard poly cotton. Wash beautifully though can take a while to dry in the tumble dryer."
"Quality and coolness is far superior than my other designer brands.Its light,soft and silky with a slight sheen. Unwrapping the separate boxes with the care and attention Sheet story put into their packaging is becoming my favourite hobby. Feels so luxurious, and always a pleasure I savour. Just wish they done more colours. I have 3 sets now!"
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.
