Posted: 11 March 2025
While we’re all looking forward to long, sun-filled days, the sticky, restless nights can definitely wait. If you’re tossing and turning, searching for the best bed sheets to keep you cool (especially if you sleep hot), the right bedding can make all the difference.
So, what type of bed sheets are best for summer?
The answer is simple: linen sheets.
When it comes to choosing summer sheets, you want something breathable, moisture-wicking, and lightweight. So, there's no need to wonder what thread count is best for summer sheets - you just need linen bedding.
Linen sheets are breathable, all night long
Some fabrics trap heat, making nights even warmer. Linen drapes over your body without clinging, allowing natural airflow, so your body heat doesn’t get stuck under the covers.
Linen sheets are moisture-wicking
If you wake up feeling damp, your summer sheets aren’t working hard enough. Linen bed sheets are naturally moisture-wicking, absorbing up to 20% of their weight without feeling wet.
