If only the phrase “hot sleeper” meant that you look stunning while you’re snoozing. But alas, hot sleepers are merely those of us who struggle with overheating and sweating as we sleep, causing us to wake up multiple times a night. Result: The next morning, we’re exhausted, exasperated and feeling, well, not so hot.
Recognize yourself? One way to help make your nights more comfortable — and therefore more restful — is to be sure your bed is designed with cooler sleep top of mind. And that’s exactly what the Breescape Cooling Comforter Blanket is designed to do.
Breescape, a brand that focuses exclusively on solutions for hot sleepers, has extensively researched body temperature and how to help regulate it. The company tested more than 20 iterations to develop the comforter’s patented BlendTek™ fabric, a combination of fibers chosen for breathability and efficient moisture wicking — attributes that can help keep you comfortably asleep.
The Breescape Cooling Comforter Blanket is cool to the touch, a property you can obviously assess for yourself, but also one backed by science — specifically, the Qmax value, a measure used by textile researchers to gauge how effectively a material transfers heat. Basically, the higher the Qmax, the cooler the fabric feels. Silk, for instance, measures around 0.19; cotton’s Qmax is about 0.11. BlendTek™ comes in at 0.46. The comforter is also reversible, so you can dial in the sleep conditions that work best for you: One side, featuring the BlendTek™ fabric, is cool-to-the-touch smooth; the other is designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking, with a buttery-soft touch.
Of course, if you’ve ever thrown off the covers in the wee hours because you’re suddenly on fire, you might wonder whether a comforter really is your best bedding choice at all — let’s face it, for truly hot sleepers, even gossamer-thin sheets can feel smothering. But the Breescape comforter gives these sleepers the pleasant weight without trapping excessive heat and with a breathable design.
The Breescape Cooling Sheets, for their part, are made with the same BlendTek™ material found on the cool-to-the-touch side of the comforter. And the fitted sheet has deep pockets, elastic all the way around to fit snugly and thoughtfully placed side pockets to house your phone, reading glasses or lip balm overnight.
It all amounts to a bedding setup aimed at providing what Breescape calls “whole-night cooling.” And it’s designed to help you achieve what you call an excellent night’s sleep. Finally.
