Best Down Alternative Cooling Comforter
Saatva Lightweight Down Alternative Comforter
Best Down Alternative Cooling Comforter
Saatva Lightweight Down Alternative Comforter
Pros
Moisture-wicking
Cons
Some customers report strong smell out of the box
For the fluff of down without the warmth of it, Saatva made a down alternative out of a fluffy lyocell fill. This sits inside of a cotton shell, designed with a 200-thread count. As the brand notes, higher thread counts often feel silkier, but they also trap heat. A lower thread count means there’s more room for the fabric and your body to breathe.
Shell Material
100% cotton
Fill Material
3D down alternative fiber, lyocell fill
Sizes
twin/twin XL, full/queen, king/cal king

Pros
Plush feeling
Cool-to-the-touch feel
Cons
Some buyers report comforter shifting through the night
Eucalyptus has been a favorite material innovation lately for its lightweight, sweat-wicking properties. It has a cool, silky feeling, which is a pleasure to sleep in but also makes it susceptible to slipping off the bed if you tend to move around. To make sure the comforter stays as cool and hygienic as possible around sweaty sleepers, Sijo added a silver ion anti-microbial treatment—often used in workout clothes—to kill the bacteria that make something like a comforter start to stink.

Pottery Barn TENCEL Comforter
Pros
Machine washable
Cool silky feeling
Cons
Looks much better with a duvet cover
Pottery Barn also makes use out of that cooling TENCEL lyocell, but in its own way. The front is made up of that sweat-wicking lyocell but the back is a silky cotton sateen. You really get the best of both cooling worlds, particularly useful to those sleeping one leg in and one leg out.

Crowd Favorite Best Cooling Comforter
Casper Lightweight Humidity Fighting Duvet
Crowd Favorite Best Cooling Comforter
Casper Lightweight Humidity Fighting Duvet
If you live in a warm, humid climate—or if you tend to make any climate you’re in warm and humid—Casper designed a duvet to keep you cool in it. It’s made with a light down filling, which have thin sewed chambers to keep the down from bunching up, inside of a cotton and wool shell. Merino wool is known for its natural sweat-wicking properties, a particular favorite material for socks. Choose from a lightweight or heavyweight one, both with that wool layer.
