Top bedding picks for summer

The Thermal Balancing Quilt is your best friend year round - especially for warm sleepers in every season or those that suffer from hot flushes. The Thermal Balancing range features Outlast technology, which absorbs, stores and releases heat as needed, so you stay at optimal resting body temperature throughout the night.

Do you toss and turn, get uncomfortably hot, throw the covers off (and pull them back on again), stick a leg out of bed to cool down or keep flipping your pillow to the 'cold side' throughout the night?

Staying cool in summer can be difficult, especially when we're trying to get to sleep. Swapping your cosy winter bedding for your summer bed linen can be one of the most effective ways to help keep your body temperature at a lower level optimal for a good night's sleep.

Not sure where to start? We've narrowed down our top bedding picks for the summer season:

Bed sheets for summer

If you're after cooling bed sheets for summer, it's best to stick with a natural fibre material like cotton. These tend to be more breathable than synthetic materials or thicker fabrics like flannelette (ideal for the cooler seasons).

Cotton sheets are soft and breathable and have traditionally been considered the 'go-to' sheet fabric for a good reason! They're the perfect all-rounder for keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter, as their natural fibres offer superior breathability.

The perfect option for those who like a little more luxury in their lives is Supima Cotton Sheets. Recognised for its softness, comfort and durability, Supima is considered one of the finest cottons produced in the world. Featuring a 600 thread count with a sateen finish, their soft and silky feel will ensure your sleep experience is fit for a queen.

Best summer quilts

Your quilt is arguably one of the most important elements regarding temperature control.

The Thermal Balancing Quilt is your best friend year round - especially for warm sleepers in every season or those that suffer from hot flushes. The Thermal Balancing range features Outlast technology, which absorbs, stores and releases heat as needed, so you stay at optimal resting body temperature throughout the night.

The Bamboo Wool Quilt is another excellent option as it's made using the highest Australian quality wool mixed with bamboo. This combination of natural materials is naturally breathable, antibacterial (ideal for allergy sufferers) and super soft for your comfort.

Best underlay for summer

Ever wished you had a cooling mattress, so you didn't have to keep tossing and turning to find a nice cold spot in bed? An underlay can work as a cooling mattress pad that makes you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud!

The Premium Reversible Wool Underlay is fully fitted, double-sided and reversible. In summer the japara/quilted side will lull you into a cool and soothing slumber, while in the cooler months, the wool pile side will keep you cosy and warm.

Best Quilt Covers for summer

You already know that Quilt Covers bring personal style and luxury into your bedroom, but did you know that certain ones are better than others for the warmer months of the year?

Quilted Quilt Covers are often thought of as a winter staple. However, they are also perfect for summer when used as a cool blanket without a quilt. Quilted quilt covers are made from naturally absorbent and breathable cotton fabric.

Because of the raised surfaces of the cotton weave, airflow is increased, making them more breathable than a standard quilt cover. They also have a much larger surface area, meaning they're more absorbent, keeping you dry and comfortable during those sweaty summer months.
