Sleepless - What can you do if you get too warm at night?

/Who doesn't know it? You toss and turn at night and just can't fall asleep. It's too warm, too stuffy, and no sleeping position is right. When you often feel too warm at night, persistent insomnia is not far away.

Maybe you have already heard of weighted Blankets? 

Therapy Blankets are designed to soothe body and mind, allowing you to sink into a deep state of relaxation and find better sleep. Even when it is very warm due to summer temperatures or you generally tend to sweat quickly, a weighted Blanket can help you fall back asleep well.

Fortunately, with a Therapy Blanket, you no longer have to rely on the "one leg in, one leg out" method to maintain the right temperature at night. Cooling Blankets with cotton covers offer the solution for people who easily overheat at night. 

Reasons why you might get too hot at night

If you tend to feel uncomfortably warm and sweaty around bedtime, you are not alone. Research shows that night sweating can affect up to 37 percent of the population. 

There are many causes of nighttime overheating, such as underlying medical conditions, spicy and high-calorie food, and exercise shortly before bedtime, or simply sleeping with another person or a pet. A hot climate can also raise the temperature in the bedroom, making restful sleep difficult.

One of the main causes of sleeping too warm can, however, be the choice of bedding. It is no secret that thicker, heavier Blankets retain heat - that's why they are perfect for winter. But in summer, this property can be unbearable. When we go to bed in the evening, our core temperature drops by a few degrees, and this excess heat can be absorbed by our bedding. If your bedding is not breathable, the heat builds up and you quickly feel too warm and sweaty.

A sweat-free night with a cooling weighted Blanket

If you get warm quickly at night and tend to sweat easily, you might worry that you will sweat even more quickly under a weighted Blanket, which in turn leads you to question whether Therapy Blankets are suitable for you at all.

Are weighted Blankets warm?

When you choose the right weighted Blanket for your needs, nothing should stand in the way of a peaceful night's rest. Our recommendation for warm nights is the Medical weighted Blanket or the loops (formerly Standard/Gravity) weighted Blanket with summer cover. 

Our Medical weighted Blanket is made of 100 percent cotton, a fabric known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties. In addition, our cooling Medical weighted Blanket and the loops (formerly Standard/Gravity) models use high-quality glass beads - no plastic. Plastic is not a good choice because it retains heat and causes you to get even hotter. Glass beads, on the other hand, are the perfect filling because they ensure the body stays calm and cool.

Occasional night sweating? 

Do you often feel too warm only on hot summer nights? Then you should choose a weighted Blanket that is especially suitable for warm summer nights, e.g., a weighted Blanket with a cooling summer cover. The front side of the summer cover is made of 100% cotton. Cotton is one of the most popular fabrics for weighted Blankets, and for good reason: cotton is very breathable, soft, and helps regulate body temperature.
