"As someone who has lived through many blistery New York City summers, senior commerce editor Nashia Baker knew as soon as she slept under this cool, lightweight blanket that it'd meet her needs once heat waves hit. Made of viscose from bamboo, it has a natural moisture-wicking design from the plant fibers. While it does have a great cooling effect, the blanket doesn't make her feel downright chilly."
"Made of viscose from bamboo, it has a natural moisture-wicking design from the plant fibers. While it does have a great cooling effect, the blanket doesn't make her feel downright chilly. "Temperature regulation aside, I was surprised at how soft and silky smooth it felt to curl up under it," she says. "It feels like a thin layer of marshmallows gently sitting on my skin.""
Lightweight cooling blankets use summer-weight fabrics such as gauzy cotton, airy linen, waffle weaves, bamboo viscose, and Tencel lyocell to maximize breathability and moisture-wicking. Cooling blankets can be crisp to the touch or silky-smooth depending on fiber choice, and they work well as stand-alone layers in warm weather or as year-round layering pieces over a duvet insert. Real-world sleep trials assessed temperature regulation, softness, and loft; some bamboo viscose options offer natural moisture-wicking with a slightly glossy finish and a soft, marshmallow-like feel without feeling cold. Quilts and comforters designed for warm months maintain lightweight warmth without trapping heat.
