Which duvet is actually best for you when it's so hot at night?
During the day, we often find the heat wonderful, but when it’s this warm at night, we quickly notice the impact on our sleep. It takes just a little longer to drift off, and the sleep itself is less deep.
And to top it all off, waking up under a clammy duvet is the ultimate mood-killer for a night of relaxation. That is why a high-quality summer duvet is an essential part of your sleep equipment. But which one is the right choice, and why? We’ve rounded up a few summer duvets that truly stand out to us.
What is the coolest summer duvet?
Mulberry silk is widely considered the coolest material to sleep under during the summer. Sleeping under a silk summer duvet is, according to many, a true sleep sensation! Silk is velvety soft and super light. It can absorb about 30% of its own weight in moisture. Under a silk duvet, you’ll never feel clammy and will wake up feeling refreshed. Derived from the cocoon of the silkworm, it is a natural animal fiber. A 100% silk summer duvet is hypoallergenic and naturally resistant to dust mites.
Which summer duvet do we recommend?
Bamboo is exceptionally well-suited as a filling for a summer duvet. Bamboo is a 100% natural product and is cultivated in an eco-friendly manner. A bamboo summer duvet distinguishes itself through its outstanding moisture regulation. Bamboo can absorb over 40% more moisture than cotton, providing a cooling effect. A bamboo summer duvet is also lighter than a cotton one. Additionally, bamboo is naturally antibacterial and antifungal.
It might surprise you, but wool is also a top contender for the title of "best summer duvet." The ultra-thin Texels Classic wool high summer duvet is filled with 120 g/m² of pure Texel virgin wool of the very best quality! Texel wool is famous for its excellent moisture-absorbing capacity. Sleeping under this "high summer" wool duvet means you will never wake up from clammy, restless sleep again. The natural crimp (curl) of the wool ensures perfect insulation and ventilation. With this light woolen summer duvet, you are guaranteed to stay wonderfully cool. You won't find a thinner wool duvet than this!
Which duvet should you choose if you sweat a lot?
In that case, we highly recommend the Tencel summer duvet. A Tencel summer duvet is as light as down, as soft as silk, and as cool as linen. Tencel is 100% natural, made from wood fiber (from the Eucalyptus tree), and is completely biodegradable. With a Tencel summer duvet, you are choosing sustainable and healthy sleep!
One of the most important properties of a Tencel summer duvet is that, due to the high moisture absorption capacity of the Tencel fiber, you won't even notice you're perspiring. Tencel absorbs a staggering 150% more moisture than cotton. Under a Tencel summer duvet, you will never sleep clammy! This is important because it allows you to sleep peacefully through the night and wake up perfectly rested. And unlike many other summer duvets, Tencel is highly washable yet another benefit of this sustainable fiber.
With one of these duvets, a good night’s sleep in the summer is guaranteed! Bring on those balmy summer nights!
