Bedding that takes up sweat

Short answer: If you sweat at night, it is the ability of the bedding to take up moisture that decides whether you wake up clammy. The weight of the duvet decides the warmth, the cover decides the feel.

The cover takes it up

The moisture has to move away from the skin and on into the fabric. See bamboo bedding.

The nightwear first

The nightwear is the innermost layer and therefore matters most. See bamboo nightwear for women.

The pillow

The head gives off a lot of moisture. Change the pillowcase more often than the rest. See how often should you change the pillowcase.

The duvet

A duvet that is too warm cannot be saved by the cover. Choose a lighter duvet in summer.

The room

16 to 18 degrees is often recommended as a bedroom temperature.

Washing

40 degrees without fabric softener, which otherwise closes the fibres. See the washing guide.

How many sets

If you sweat at night, the bedding has to be changed more often than usual. Two to three sets mean you can change without waiting for the wash. See home and homewear in bamboo.
