FAQs for Hot Sleepers
What causes night sweats?
Usually a mix of hormones, anxiety, room temperature, and bedding materials. Your sheets and pad can make a massive difference.
Do cooling sheets really work?
Yes — especially TENCEL. It's silky, dry-feeling, and moisture-wicking. Bamboo is next-best.
Can I still use a weighted blanket?
Yes, but only breathable cotton or bamboo-based ones. Fleece traps too much heat.
