Overheating throughout the night is one of the worst feelings ever. For most folks, there's nothing worse than sleeping in these conditions. Some people still sweat profusely throughout the night, even in the colder months or with the AC on full blast during the summer. This is because they're usually sleeping on the wrong sheets.

While some opt for cotton and sometimes even flannel sheets for cooler and cold months, sleeping on these heavy, moisture-absorbing materials when you run hot only makes things worse. Instead of wicking away sweat and emitting a more cool-to-the-touch sensation through the night, they both attract and emit heat, ultimately making you feel like you're sleeping on a heated blanket.

The best way to avoid this is to invest in some cooling sheets and, to help you out, we've rounded up the 10 best cooling sheet sets available and separated them each into a different, defining category:

These from customer-favorite brand Mellanni start as low as $35 on Amazon, and over 290,000 shoppers can't stop raving about them. If you want that hotel-like, silky-soft, super luxurious feel, I highly recommend the Cozy Earth Linen Bamboo Sheets — they're hands down one of the best investments I've ever made and even Oprah said they're the "softest sheets ever."

For those looking for ultra-lightweight sheets with maximum breathability that almost feel like you're sleeping on cool air, the Casper Hyperlite Sheets are the ones to buy. And if you're on the market for affordable luxury that starts at under $100, the Quince Luxury Organic Signature Sheet Set is absolutely your best bet.

Check out each pick in greater detail below.

$134.99 - $189.99 at Amazon

I've recommended these time and time again, and I'll continue to do so because they're that great. These sheets are as luxurious as they come thanks to their 100% viscose from bamboo fabrication. They're not blended with other cheap fabrics like so many other high-end linen brands — and you can feel the difference.

The LUXOME Luxury Sheets also have the highest thread count for bamboo sheets currently available anywhere. So, they feel silky-soft to the touch while being naturally cooling, thermal-regulating and breathable to keep you cool throughout the night. These come in 10 gorgeous colors and nine sizes, ranging from full to split king.

Few brands are as thoughtful and deliberate in their craftsmanship and quality as Cozy Earth. Named Oprah's favorite sheets for four years in a row — she called them "the softest ever" — these sheets have only continued to live up to their reputation as some of the best on the market.

After trying them, I can confidently say that the hype is 100% warranted. Though a bit pricey, these sheets match the superior quality of LUXOME's and are arguably the best you can possibly buy for transitional weather.

In fact, these Linen Bamboo Sheets are made of 70% viscose from bamboo and 30% linen, making them the most cooling of all of the options on this list. This fabric combination makes these sheets so breathable and moisture-wicking that they feel cooler than cotton.

They come in two neutral colors and six sixes, ranging from twin/twin XL to split king.

Finding a linen sheet set that doesn't feel like sandpaper is hard to come by, but speaking from personal experience, Thuma found a way to make them soft and smooth.

Inspired by the unmatched comfort and quality of five-star hotel bedding, Thuma designed its new Linen Suite Sheet Set to keep you cool — thanks to its breezy linen fabric — while remaining exceptionally soft and durable. These sheets are made from 100% European flax linen, sourced from specific regions of Belgium, France and the Netherlands.

Since these were just released, there aren't many online customer reviews. But after trying them for myself, I can firmly say that these are editor-approved and some of the best sheets I've ever slept on.

The Thuma Linen Suite Sheet Set only comes in white but is available in five sizes, ranging from twin to California king.

Bamboo sheets aren't just having a moment — they're the proven secret to staying cooler at night. Research shows that fabrics with natural fibers like bamboo will keep you much cooler in warm weather than synthetic materials that aren't breathable.

With this in mind, so many people choose to opt for 100% bamboo sheets, and if you prefer to go this route, there's no better option than Nest Bedding's 100% Bamboo Luxury Bed Set.

Available in five colors and six sizes, ranging from twin to California king, these sheets are made with all-natural bamboo and are thick and luxurious to the touch while maintaining a cool and lightweight feel. Because of their 100% bamboo fabrication, they also have antimicrobial properties, which makes them perfect for those with sensitive skin.

This is all possible thanks to their 100% TENCEL Lyocell fabrication and unique grid weave that makes these sheets super breathable and cooling.
