These Could Be the Perfect Sheets You Need for Summer

You wake up in the night, sweating and stuck to your sheets. You kick them off and — finally — get back to sleep. But you wake up an hour later, cold because you were damp and now you are completely exposed to the air. And where are those sheets now? In a pile on the floor. You struggle to make the bed, in the dark and half asleep. Then it starts all over again.

This is summer with the wrong sheets. Or it’s every night for people who sleep hot.

The secret to surviving in a hot and humid climates is all about the fabrics. Don a breezy linen and you’ll enjoy the warm air. Wear a heavy cotton and you will feel oppressed by the humidity. This is all even more so with the sheets on your bed.
