When was the last time you enjoyed a truly restful night’s sleep? If you’re a hot sleeper, there’s a good chance sleep isn’t on the agenda. Referring to those who constantly feel warm at night while trying to rest, hot sleepers may suffer from bouts of sweating or general physical discomfort. The end result is you spend nights tossing and turning rather than catching your Zs. At Pure Parima, we understand that sleep is crucial to enjoying life and maximizing productivity. To that end, we’ve created a line of products proven to help you rest easy. Read on to learn about the causes of night sweats and find out which bedding items are designed to keep you cool no matter how high the temperature soars.
Causes of Night Sweats
There are many reasons for people to sweat while they sleep. Multiple factors affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature, including menopause, infections, hormone imbalances, and underlying illness. Medications can also result in a hot night’s sleep, with some of the most common culprits including SSRIs, steroids, aspirin, and acetaminophen. Even drinking too much caffeine before bed can be linked to night sweats. While the occasional sweaty night’s rest is rarely a cause for concern, individuals who are suffering from persistent sweating may want to see a doctor to rule out any issues.
How Your Environment Affects Sleep
If no medication or health condition is to blame for your night sweats, the problem is likely your environment. One of the biggest mistakes sleepers make is failing to keep the room cool at night. If you tend to sleep hot, start by finding ways to lower the temperature in your bedroom. For example, you could turn on the AC before bed, take a cool shower, invest in a fan, or just open a few windows before hitting the sheets. For best results, keep a glass of cool water on your nightstand. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you can take a few sips before going back to sleep.
Best Bedding for Hot Sleepers
A key part of your sleeping environment, bedding has a profound impact on your ability to sleep through the night. Not only can rough or low-quality bedding cause you to toss and turn but investing in the wrong sheets and blankets can leave you feeling overheated. If you want to avoid waking up in a pool of sweat, choosing the right bedding is essential. Here are some of the best items for preventing night sweats year-round:
Pillows
You probably know that the right pillow can mean the difference between waking up refreshed and dealing with a creak in your neck all day. However, you might not realize that pillows also contribute to sweating. If you tend to sleep hot, you might do best with a down alternative pillow. Our premium pillow inserts feature 100 percent Virtudown for fluff and a 100 percent cotton sateen shell to keep sleepers cool. It’s the ideal place to lay your head regardless of the season.
Sheets
The bedding item that comes into the most contact with your skin, sheets are essential for staying cool on hot nights. Those who appreciate crisp coolness above all else when it comes to bedding will surely enjoy our Ultra Percale Sheet Set, which comes complete with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two matching pillowcases.

Duvets
It doesn’t matter how high the mercury rises – if we want to sleep well, many of us need a cozy blanket to snuggle up under. Fortunately, you can rest easy under a premium down alternative comforter. Fluffy and cooling, our Down Alternative Duvet Insert gets extra loft thanks to the inclusion of Virtudown filling. And because the shell is 100 percent cotton sateen with a remarkable three-dimensional baffle box construction, it has the capacity to keep the heat evenly distributed while you sleep.
