Stay Cool and Sleep Easy
The best pillows and bedding for hot, sweaty sleepers
There are few things worse than trying to fall asleep when you’re hot. Who can rest when you're overheated? If you're one of the many who toss and turn come summertime—no matter how cold you try to make your place—you need to rethink your bedding. The alternative is doing nothing and letting even a small amount of sweat make you feel glued to the sheets.
According to a well-regarded 2012 study, sleep scientists have concluded that the ideal sleeping temperature is an environment between 60 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. When lying in bed trying to snooze, your body temperature decreases to initiate sleep—and the proposed temperatures above can actually help facilitate this. If you have air conditioning, this temperate drop can be accomplished fairly easily (while using a decent amount of energy). On the other hand, these pillows, sheets and accessories will cool you down without raising your utility bills.
Pillows
Cooling Foam
Instead of simply being stuffed with filling, Malouf's pillows are actually made from a proprietary “ActiveDough” foam that's infused with a temperature-regulating gel that draws heat away from your body.

FYI
According to a Sleep in America poll, a majority of Americans say they feel tired due to poor quality sleep rather than lack of sleep.
