No one likes waking up drenched in sweat. It's not only just plain gross — it's also a sign that you didn't sleep as well as you could have. If thick blankets or pajamas thwart your body's attempts to cool your skin through the process of the evaporation, it can lead to restless slumber, according to the National Sleep Foundation. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 58% of Good Housekeeping readers prefer cool and crisp sheets over super-soft ones. That's why we asked Good Housekeeping Institute's Senior Textile Analyst Lexie Sachs to help all of the sweaty sleepers out there by sharing her pick for sheets that will help you wake up fresher and drier. The SHEEX Micro Balance 37.5 Performance Sheet Set implements a concept called "37.5 technology" that's all about keeping customers feeling cooler — and snoozing sounder. "The science behind it is legitimate," Sachs explains. "The idea is that your body is most comfortable at 37.5 degrees Celsius and 37.5% humidity, so it tries to create that environment for you. It uses volcanic sand and carbon from coconut shells that are embedded into the fabric and remove moisture from your body to help cool you down." It's the set that she currently has on her bed right now — and for the record, the sateen cotton-poly blend feels silky, not sandy. "The fabric is soft, smooth, and great to sleep on," Sachs adds. "I’ve washed it many times and aside from slight pilling it's held up well."It's worth noting that your mattress, topper, pillow, and comforter can also affect how hot you feel during the night, so take a comprehensive look at your set-up if you're really struggling. The good news: The 37.5 concept is pervading the bedding market right now, with comforters, duvet covers, and other sheets made with the same idea hitting more shelves. You can find this particular SHEEX style at Bed Bath & Beyond in eight different colors (aqua, black, clay, fuchsia, gray, ivory, turquoise, white) and four sizes (twin, full, queen, king, California king). A pack with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillow cases starts at $160 and up, qualifying you for free standard shipping. (Don't forget to use your Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off coupon.) Sweet dreams!
