Pillows

1. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows

Amazon

Natalie Rebuck, the principal designer at Re: Design Architects, loves the Beckham Hotel Collection pillows. “They are very fluffy and really hold up over the years,” she said. These cooling pillows are meant to accommodate all kinds of sleepers, whether you prefer catching zzz’s on your back, stomach, or side. They’re available in queen or king size.

Promising review: “I never thought I would find a pillow that is as comfortable as a down pillow, but I have, and my husband agrees! I would wake up constantly trying to cool my head by flipping my down pillow. Go figure, a down pillow keeping my head warm! Now, I sleep with a cool head, literally and figuratively!
Our heads sink into the pillows just enough and don’t flatten out. They are machine washable and air dry rather quickly, and they are reasonably priced.
We are extremely happy with our purchase! This is the perfect pillow!” —Leeni

This set of four pillows from Downlite will transport you to a 5-star vacation every night. In fact, the company website says that they supply bedding and pillows to hotels around the world. This set of four soft/medium-density pillows is made with hypoallergenic polyester stuffing and covered in crisp and breathable 230-thread-count cambric cotton that gives you that hotel-like feel, night after night.

3. Eli & Elm side sleeper pillow

Amazon

This Eli & Elm pillow is designed with an ergonomic contoured edge, specifically to alleviate neck and back pain for side sleepers. Made completely of Oeko-Tex-certified materials, sleepers can customize the pillow’s firmness and the soft cotton cover is removable for easy cleaning. 

Promising review: “I set out on a ‘pillow project’ to search for the world’s most comfortable pillow. I have a bad neck and could not find a pillow that helped me sleep without waking up with a stiff, sore neck. I spent a couple of months and tried a total of 11 different pillows. Although I tried to sleep at least several nights on each pillow before making a decision, I often found myself grabbing the Eli and Elm pillow again before one night was even over on the other pillows. Eli and Elm were the most expensive of all the pillows I tried, so I really did not WANT to like it the best. I was hoping one of the less expensive ones would work out, but in the end, this was the ONLY pillow for me! It is very soft and comfy, yet very supportive for my neck as well. I love the way the curve wraps around my neck and back. It’s like sleeping on a soft, supportive cloud. The only problem I’ve found with this pillow is that it’s SO comfortable that I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning! There are just some things WORTH paying for, and this pillow is one of them!!!” —Cruisepuppy

Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (also available with an additional pillowcase).

Pillowcases

5. A pair airy gauze pillow shams

Quince

Senior reporter Lydia O’Connor could not wait to tell us about this pair of airy gauze pillow shams from Quince. “I think this is about as close as you can get to feeling like you’re sleeping on a cloud,” O’Connor said, calling them “so soft … and truly gauzy and airy.” Reviewers concur, saying they’re “airy goodness.” 

O’Connor also noted these shams resemble her cotton cloud quilt from Parachute for about half the price of their similar pillowcases.

Get them from Quince for $44.90 (originally $70; available in two sizes and eight colors).

6. Silk pillowcase to protect your hair and skin

Amazon

Silk pillowcases don’t just look fancy; there are actual beauty benefits to them. Since they’re less porous than cotton, they help hair retain moisture and natural oils. They also don’t leave creases on the skin the way other fabrics can, which may reduce wrinkles. Choose from a wide range of colors and sizes that include standard, queen, king, and one elongated size designed for a body pillow.

Promising review: “This pillowcase is a total game-changer! Seriously, it’s like sleeping on a cloud. The fabric is so silky and soft, and it’s perfect for my sensitive skin. I’ve been having the best, most comfy sleep since I got it. Treat yourself to some luxury with this pillowcase — totally worth it!” —Christa E.

8. Cariloha

Cariloha

Years ago, I got a PR package sent to my parent’s house (so it wouldn’t get stolen from my apartment). It allegedly contained these bamboo sheets from Cariloha, but I wouldn’t know because my parents love the sheets so much that I never got them. I did say they could have them as long as I get to sleep on them when I visit, and boy, am I happy with that arrangement. They’re a little pricy, but if you have the money, they’re a great investment, and they are literally cooling and comforting on the skin but still snuggly and warm in New England winters. 

Promising review: “I knew Cariloha sheets were comfortable, but I was not expecting silky comfort like this with the Resort sheets. It is like sleeping on a cloud! The sheets are cooling and warming at the same time. I just love them, and wish I could stay in bed all day!” —Stacy S

Get them from Cariloha for $289+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).

9. LuxClub bamboo sheet set

Amazon

Another sheet set loved by both me and our readers is this double-brushed microfiber option, which is great if you love changing the theme of your bedroom often because it comes in a whopping 41 colors. Orange, taupe, yellow, red, dark gray, and lime green are just a few possibilities. And if you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll also appreciate that they’re moisture-wicking and made of a smooth bamboo-derived blend. The set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two pillowcases and is made in sizes from twin to California king.

Promising review:Move over, clouds, there’s a new level of softness in town, and it’s called LuxClub’s 6 PC Queen Sheet Set. I’m pretty sure these sheets are made from the clouds that angels nap on. They’re so breathable that I feel like I’m being gently hugged by a thousand tiny marshmallows all night long. And the deep pockets? Let’s just say I’ve lost a few socks in there, but they’re probably living their best life among the luxurious threads. If you’re ready to upgrade from sleeping on sandpaper to sleeping on a cloud, LuxClub’s got you covered. Literally. Five stars for turning my bed into a soft, fluffy paradise!” —JLV

Promising review: “We got the stonewashed linen duvet cover, and we now lovingly refer to it as ‘The Cloud.’ It is so soft and light. It washes beautifully and becomes even softer. Not too hot or too cold — it’s just right. We are thrilled with the quality of this cover!” —Cory D.

My husband sleeps like a furnace (just HOT), and I was worried he would find them too hot and sweat all night, but it was actually PERFECT. Not too hot, not too cold. It was 17 degrees last night, and I slept nude and was perfectly comfortable. Paired with a memory foam mattress topper and a memory foam pillow, it was like sleeping on a cloud, soft, warm, weightless. Best night sleep!!! Do yourself a favor and get these sheets! I can’t wait to go back to sleep!!” —MimiG

Duvet inserts

14. Buffy Cloud comforter

Buffy

If you prefer a down-alternative comforter, then you definitely want to check out this popular option from Buffy. It’s an award-winning comforter that was designed to be comfortable year-round and is made of Tencel lyocell fibers that absorb moisture more efficiently than cotton to help prevent you from overheating or waking up a sweaty mess. It’s available in twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/Cal king sizing.

Promising review: “This blanket feels like a cloud. I was skeptical as I’m a very hot sleeper and was pleasantly surprised. I found I was able to make small adjustments due to the floaty quality of the blanket, which was really helpful to cool me down. If you’re on the fence, you won’t regret this purchase.” —Jill R 

Get it from Buffy for $116+ (originally $145+; available in three colors).

15. A lightweight all-season duvet inset

Amazon

When you run hot but still like the feeling of a comforter, you need a super lightweight duvet insert. This all-season option is crafted from super fluffy feather-down and down fiber and wrapped in a breathable 400-thread poly-cotton cover, keeping the air flowing as you snore away. It comes in sizes twin to super king. 

Promising review: “Oh my gosh, I LOVE this comforter! It’s the best one I’ve ever bought in my life, and I’m old, and I’ve bought a lot of bedding. I’ve spent thousands on high-end bedding, and this one tops them all. It’s fluffy and so very big. We have a king bed, and I got the supersized king, and it hangs off all ends of the bed and is dreamy like a cloud when you’re under it. Uh, so good! When I received it, the package was vacuum sealed, so I put it in the dryer to fluff it before putting it on the bed. Amazing is all I can say!” —Cheyenne Sanders

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three weights).

16. A Brooklinen down comforter

Brooklinen

Brooklinen offers this top-rated down comforter in a variety of weights.

Duvet covers and blankets

17. The mid-weight linen duvet cover that I use all year

Quince

I’ve written before about my Quince linen duvet cover, and boy does a “cloud-like” cover it. It’s a mid-weight set made from 100% European linen flax and comes with a cover and two pillowcases to instantly give your bed a facelift. It has a button closure at the foot of the cover and you can throw it in the wash and dry it on low. Anecdotally, I have spilled drinks on it, and the stains have come out pretty easily, so if you, like me, enjoy a bed coffee but have poor spatial awareness, this could be the duvet cover for you. 

Get it from Quince for $139.90+ (originally $314+; available in three sizes and 29 styles).

18. A breezy linen duvet cover

Amazon

Listen, just because you run hot while you’re sleeping doesn’t mean you don’t want to snuggle up under a cozy blanket.

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in five sizes and 18 colors).

20. Emme 100% cotton muslin throw (also known as the “adult baby blanket”)

Amazon

Much like those comforting blankets you snuggled with as a wee baby, this 100% muslin cotton throw is made with the same billowy material but just upsized to make the perfect adult version. Constructed of a breathable, gauze-like fabric, this blanket is a reader favorite, likely in part due to its resemblance to pricier options from brands like West Elm and Brooklinen. It comes in 16 colors and six sizes.

Promising review: “Treat yourself! Best blanket to feel like you’re wrapped in a cloud hug without any bulk. Amazingly soft. After experiencing mine for several weeks I decided to share the love. I have purchased several for gifts and the receivers practically gush with thank you’s after the first snuggle session. Not for nothing, but I’m not normally the review-writing type. This superior product compelled me to do so. ENJOY!! ;)” —J Malek

Get it from Amazon for $29.89+.

Mattress toppers

21. Linenspa gel-infused mattress topper

Amazon

This mattress topper by Linenspa is one of the highest-rated options on Amazon and also one of the most affordable.

Like most memory foam materials, the plush two-inch surface conforms to and supports the body’s curves and can also help minimize motion transfer.

Promising review: “I purchased this topper to soften a too-hard bed. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Cool and comfortable all night long, it was a wonderful investment. I bought two more for other beds that needed some softening, and I find that the conforming nature of the foam helps my back pain and provides a more restful sleep.” —Frederic Kunken

Promising review: “My bed was so hard until I got this mattress topper. It is so soft, feels like sleeping on a cloud, and it has helped my back pain and helped me sleep better. They are well-made and fit my bed perfectly; they don’t make you feel hot, they keep you comfortable and cozy, they smell clean and nice, and if you have a hard bed and have back issues, get this mattress topper, you won’t be sorry!” —Donna Duque

Promising review: “When looking for a cooling mattress topper, I was so hesitant. I wake up feeling like I was hit by a BUS. I slept so hard through the night! Gone are the Under The Bed Demon Is Going To Grab My Foot kind of nights; tossing and turning all hours is ancient history, and my partner is actually allowed to touch me and snuggle again (huzzah!!!). Plus this thing is so comfy, it’s like being swaddled in clouds. If you need a cooling mattress topper, this is it, and thank yourself later!” —Kelsey Johnson
