Top picks
Hot sleepers should prioritise loose cuts, natural fibres and elastic-free waistbands. Avoid silk, satin, and any polyester-blend marketed as "moisture-wicking" — almost all sleep better with bamboo viscose.
Frequently asked questions
What's the coolest fabric for sleeping?+
Bamboo viscose, lyocell and cotton lawn are the coolest. Avoid satin, silk blends and polyester.
Should hot sleepers wear shorts or long pyjamas?+
Counter-intuitively, loose long-sleeve bamboo can be cooler than shorts as it wicks sweat off the skin.
