Can I use a sheet with my cooling blanket?Updated a month ago

Yes, you can absolutely use a sheet with your cooling blanket. The trick is choosing the right sheet so you're not working against the cooling effect you're after.

A thin, breathable sheet underneath you won't make a big difference to how your cooling blanket performs. Where people run into trouble is layering a thick or heat-trapping sheet on top, which can insulate warmth and cancel out the cool.

Sheet over or under your cooling blanket?

Both work; it just depends on your preference:

• Sheet underneath, cooling blanket on top - best for maximum skin contact with the cooling surface.
• Cooling blanket underneath, sheet on top - great if you still want a softer, traditional feel against your skin while staying cool.

What type of sheet works best?

Stick to natural, breathable fibres that won't trap heat:

• Bamboo - moisture-wicking and naturally cool
• Percale cotton - lightweight weave with a crisp feel
• Linen - excellent airflow, ideal for hot sleepers

Avoid polyester blends, flannel, fleece, or anything marketed as "cosy" or "warm" - these are designed to hold heat in, which is the opposite of what you want.
