In-Depth Review And Process
Sleepless nights got you steaming? Yeah, we feel you. So, our review squad set out on a mission to find the actual Holy Grail of cooling sheets. We wanted to try the best cooling sheets and determine which one was truly the most comfortable and cooling.
To see which truly was the best, we ranked each one on a few important factors. Each factor has to do with sleep or cooling, the two main things we wanted to test during this review. Every set of sheets was ranked on the overall:
- Coolness: Touch, Temperature Regulating, Moisture-Wicking
- Softness: Texture, Skin Comfort, Luxuriousness
- Sleep Quality: Restfulness, Easy Sleep, Waking Feeling
- Durability: Construction, Pilling, Colorfastness
- Value: Price-Performance, Longevity, Satisfaction
A Wide Range of Price Points and Materials
Additionally, we wanted to review sheets across a wide spectrum of materials and price points. We tested sheets made with bamboo, linen, sateen (a version of cotton weave), and more. We also tested sheets that are relatively cheap (Amazon level), all the way up to hyper luxury (yes, we ACTUALLY bought $400 sheets!). Knowing if you have to spend big $$$ to get good cooling sheets was important for us, and we most certainly learned that there is a ceiling to how “luxurious” something can feel.
How we picked and tested
- Panel TestingWe tested Bed Sheets with sleep experts, and we concealed the identities of the bed sheets to eliminate bias
- Real-world TrialsWe sleep on bed sheets for weeks and put them through wash tests to make sure they survive day-to-day use.
- Wide Range of MaterialsThe bed sheets we tested have a wide variety of materials like bamboo, linen, sateen, etc.
- Price RangeTo give readers a full picture of the category, we tested models priced as low as $35 and as high as $400.
Let’s get down to the detailed reviews for each cooling bed sheet.
When it comes to finding the ultimate cooling sheets, the Dosaze ThermaCool Sheet set reigns supreme. On both cooling fronts, it totally delivered. At first touch, the sheets feel soft, cool, and totally luxurious. Over an entire night of sleep, they provided consistent, all-night cooling. Additionally, the moisture-wicking was a real game-changer, which is one of the benefits of the Dosaze sheet material.
The sheets are made with bamboo and spun into something known as “viscose,” a premium material that is often used as a silk substitute.
In gathering the supplies to perform this test, we learned that top-of-the-line bedsheets can be very expensive… and, in our opinion, unreasonably so. Dosaze was able to provide an incredible product at one of the most reasonable prices of all that we tested.
- Fantastic Moisture Wicking
- Soft, Comfortable Feel
- Equal Parts Quality and Value
Aside from sheer cost-value, we also found the bamboo blend among the best for moisture-wicking while also being durable and comfortable. When compared to cotton options, the Dosaze wicked away sweat faster. Plus, we found their 3-year warranty, 60-night trial, and free returns an excellent “insurance policy” for potential customers looking to try the sheets out.
So, if you’re on the hunt for cooling sheets that deliver on all fronts, Dosaze should be at the top of your list. It’s the perfect balance of coolness, comfort, and value, promising restful nights and sweet dreams under the softest, coolest stars.

Runner Up:
While Dosaze reigns supreme in pure coolness, Cozy Earth bamboo sheets offer a close second, cocooning you in softness that rivals hotel bedding. Their 100% viscose from bamboo with sateen weave boasts a cloud-like texture, slightly warmer than Dosaze but still breathable and moisture-wicking.
Though their price tag falls in the higher range, it’s an investment for those seeking ultimate comfort and a decadent sleep experience. Hot sleepers might favor Dosaze, but for those craving plush softness and don’t mind a touch more warmth, Cozy Earth might just be worth the splurge.
Third Place
Slumber Cloud’s sheets excel at moisture-wicking. While they may not be the softest sheets on the market, their smooth texture is comfortable enough for most sleepers. But compared to Dosaze sheets, Slumber Cloud falls a bit short.
Dosaze boasts an unparalleled level of softness, like sleeping on a cloud (literally!), while also excelling in both breathability and moisture-wicking. So, if you prioritize ultimate comfort and temperature regulation, Dosaze might be a better choice.
Fourth Place
Sheex was a little tricky for us because, right out of the box, it felt extremely soft. In fact, it probably has the softest hand feel out of any product we tested. The issue, however, is the material they used to get that softness.
Sheex used a blend of 87% polyester and 13% spandex, and the closest thing we have to compare it to is a thick pair of women’s leggings. Overall, the sheets are thick, stretchy, and soft, but when you try to sleep on them, some problems arise.
First, the spandex will literally pull your hair out. This wasn’t just an issue with us but also with other reviewers online. Then, the staticky properties of the fabric will hold onto the hairs, resulting in a white sheet that looks like a shaggy dog was using it as a bed. Keep your vacuum handy. Additionally, the price was a little much for something that is just polyester. In the same price range, we would recommend the Slumber Cloud Performance Sheets.
Fifth Place
There’s nothing wrong with being “different,” so we went ahead and created a category just for people who want to express that via their bedding. Our Alternate Pick is the option we found interesting and niche, and probably not for everyone. But for the people who like it, they love it! We found the Parachute Linen Sheet Set to fill those shoes rather perfectly.
Parachute’s linen set was the only linen set on our list, and they are certainly the most unique. They certainly aren’t traditionally soft, but there isn’t something endearing about the rougher hand-feel that they have that feels nostalgic. Linen is historically extremely durable, and sheets made from it usually get softer over time and with each wash. On top of that, they are often dry and good for wicking moisture.
The main issue with the Parachute sheets is that they aren’t traditionally soft right away, and some people may not prefer that. If silky-smooth and soft are essential, fresh linen isn’t ideal for that. On top of that, they are pretty expensive. Parachute’s set was almost $350, bringing it close to the Cozy Earth sheets in terms of price.
Sixth Place
While they may not win any awards for trendsetting design, Amazon’s budget-friendly sheets quietly hold their own. Their moisture-wicking abilities are decent, meaning they help keep you comfortably dry throughout the night, even for those who tend to run warm.
Now, let’s manage expectations. They won’t magically transform your bed into a cloud-nine slumber haven, but the comfort level is respectable. Plus, with a range of colors and sizes to choose from, you can easily find a set that blends with your existing bedding. If you crave the ultimate in luxury softness or have specific needs for temperature regulation, you might want to consider exploring other options.
Seventh Place
Brooklinen sheets offering a comfortable sleep experience. However, they’re not the coolest sheets on the block. For cold sleepers who prioritize plushness, they’re a good option.
But if you tend to run hot, you might still find yourself feeling toasty despite the softness. Consider other brands focusing on breathability if temperature regulation is a bigger concern. Remember, the best sheets are the ones that match your individual needs and budget, not just the softest ones available.
How we test it
To ensure rigorous testing, I implemented a multi-phase approach:
- Initial Sensory Assessment: Each set was evaluated for fabric feel, drape, and overall first impression. Softness was assessed on a standardized scale, while drape was judged based on ease of movement and wrinkle resistance.
- Temperature Regulation Trial: Equipped with a digital thermometer, I spent nights under each sheet set, recording temperature changes and overall comfort levels. Nighttime temperature and humidity were also monitored to ensure consistent testing conditions.
- Durability Investigation: Every set went through multiple wash and dry cycles, with close inspection for shrinking, fraying, or loss of color. Fabric thickness and weave density were also analyzed to assess long-term wearability.
- Fit and Security Evaluation: Deep pocket depth, corner grip strength, and overall sheet movement were rigorously evaluated. I simulated various sleep movements, assessing the sheets’ ability to stay put throughout the night.
- Value & Affordability Analysis: Each set’s price was weighed against its performance across all categories. The goal was to identify sheets offering optimal value for their price point.

The Final Verdict:
Dosaze ThermaCool Sheet Set reigns supreme with its unbeatable combination of coolness, comfort, and value. But the perfect sheets are a personal journey, so consider your budget and priorities to find your own slice of sleep haven. Sweet dreams!
