Best Cooling Summer Quilts
Updated How we research
A cooling summer quilt is a lightweight, breathable cover-up that gives you the comfort of a quilt without the heat of a heavy duvet or comforter. It is made for hot sleepers, warm-climate bedrooms, and anyone who wants a little weight on top but sweats under thick bedding. Look for a low-fill-weight quilt with a natural cotton, bamboo, or eucalyptus shell and fill, since these breathe and wick moisture better than polyester. Check the construction, a thin cotton batting with airy stitching drapes well and stays cool. Choose a machine-washable option for easy summer care, and match the size to your bed so it drapes without bunching heat around you.
