The Best Cooling Comforters That Are Designed With You In Mind

Available in two fill amount options ("standard" or "extra"), the duvet also comes in two breathable material types: bamboo viscose or mulberry silk. Both options come in a reusable duffel bag and are machine washable on gentle (Cozy Earth says to avoid spin cycles and air dry if possible).

Regardless of the material selected, the comforter shouldn't pill or clump with use, but Cozy Earth offers a generous trial period and a 10-year warranty if you have any issues. Plus, the brand is known for having excellent customer service.

Pros

Cons

This comforter has 4.9 out of 5 stars after more than 600 reviews—and it's also backed by Oprah if that's a selling point for you! Reviewers say it's a great breathable option that provides cozy yet cool sleep. One person writes, "The bedding is the most comfortable I've ever had. It comes out of the dryer without wrinkles, is neither too hot nor too cold, and is a generous fit on my king-size bed." On the con side, a few folks warn that because this comforter is oversized it may not fit in all duvet covers.

The shell is 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton percale, and it's available in two different weight options: lightweight, which Avocado says is best for warmer months and climates, and all-season, which is thicker and warmer. Hot sleepers will likely prefer the first option, but both include the same temperature-regulating materials.

Pros

Cons

This comforter doesn't have a ton of reviews (just over 60), but a majority of folks give it a positive rating. It gets great comments from hot sleepers and people who live in warmer climates. One reviewer writes, "Nice weight, it really does breathe better than cheaper synthetic duvets. While adding warmth without overheating us 'warm sleepers.' Will simply add a blanket for cold weather. Great quality (stitching, etc.) as all items from Avocado."

This lightweight comforter uses sustainably sourced eucalyptus Tencel for both the shell and interior fibers, and the entire thing is compostable! It also uses unique vertical stitching to ensure even fill distribution with loops on every corner to attach to your duvet cover (which Buffy suggests, as this comforter isn't machine washable). We also love that while the brand focuses on sustainability and quality, this comforter is not a total splurge with prices starting under $200. Plus, Buffy offers a discount if you bundle the Breeze Duvet with the Breeze Comforter to make a set (one for winter; and one for summer).

Pros

Cons

The Buffy Breeze has more than 6,500 reviews with just under a 5-star rating. Hot sleepers give it excellent reviews for breathability and softness. One reviewer raves, "Wow! This is what dreams are made of! I run hot and am a sweaty sleeper and this thing solves all this. Instead of blasting the AC, I can keep it as is." A few folks say they wish it was fluffier, but Buffy does have a warmer, cozier option that uses similar materials called the Buffy Cloud.

Another great perk is that the design has many horizontal chambers to better distribute the down and wool throughout the comforter, making it similar in design to your favorite puffy jacket. Based on the time of year that you need to use this cooling pick, it comes in two fills: lightweight and a thicker mid-weight option. Better yet, it's machine washable!

Pros

Cons

One shopper gushes, "I'm amazed at how light this duvet is yet it keeps me warm without sweating like I did with my old duvet. And did I mention how light it is? I move a lot before I go to sleep and while I'm sleeping. The Casper duvet doesn't make me feel weighed down and restricted like I did with my old cover." The only con we saw in the reviews was that the crispness of this comforter can be kind of noisy—something to consider if you move around a lot at night.

If you end up finding it too lightweight, you can exchange it within 365 nights for the all-season, which has a little more fluff and uses ethically sourced duck feathers. Each model has baffle box quilting to keep the fill evenly distributed and corner loops for tying into your duvet cover.

Just beware that it's not machine-washable. However, the exterior is treated with ultra-fresh antimicrobials to prevent a stench.

Pros

Cons

With over 117,000 reviews and 4.7 out of 5 stars, Brooklinen's Down Comforter is a hit. One reviewer says, "I look forward to getting into bed with this soft-as-a-cloud comforter! I am VERY choosy when it comes to bedding and have tried many brands. I purchased the lightweight comforter. It is perfect for my husband all year round and perfect for me with a blanket on my side for colder nights."

Note that one potential downside of this comforter (and most down comforters) is that it's not machine washable and is best shaken out outdoors or sent to the dry cleaner.

It's made of all synthetic materials, which contributes to the lower price, yet the comforter manages to retain its cool feel. (Of course, synthetic means you're not getting the highest quality or most natural materials.)

The machine-washable comforter also comes in a few different colors, if you're not one for duvet covers. Just note that because this is from a third party (Amazon) you may not have the same warranty or trial period benefits as the other brands on this list. But for the price, that might be just fine.

Pros

Cons

After more than 13,700 reviews on Amazon, this bestselling comforter still has a 4.7-star rating. Most reviewers say it's surprisingly high quality for the price and that it keeps them comfortable all night. One person says, "This comforter is shockingly lightweight, but also has enough weight to feel good when lying underneath it. It keeps us both warm, but is also breathable and not too warm, and is very soft as well." A few folks warn that this will come vacuum-sealed but that it fluffs up quickly in the dryer.
