Whether you're into eucalyptus, cotton, wool, or bamboo, these super-cool duvets can help you hibernate like a lil polar bear all night long.

Alpaca Wool Duvet
Another unexpectedly great wool option: this 100 percent all-natural alpaca wool comforter from Ave Maria. Alpaca fiber is light, super-soft, and can absorb up to 35 percent of its weight in moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable while you sleep. It's also free from lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic. No itchy eyes here!!

Fill material: 100 percent all-natural alpaca wool
THE REVIEWS: "We absolutely love it!" one reviewer writes. "We used down comforters for 20 years then switched to sheep wool comforters 13 years ago, which we liked better than down. This is our first experience with alpaca wool and we love it! It's better at regulating our body temperature. It's not too hot and not too cold—plus it's lighter than the sheep wool comforter. We like it so much it comes with us when we go to the cabin. The quality is good. We will probably buy a few more for our other beds."
Cozy Earth Comforter
Oprah is totally obsessed with Cozy Earth bedding, so while this comforter is pricey, you can rest assured it's q-u-a-l-i-t-y stuff. Made from bamboo, this moisture-wicking comforter feels degrees cooler than cotton, so it's perfect for hot sleepers or humid climates. Best of all, the machine washable-enhanced weave is made to last and never pill, no matter how many times you wash it.
Cover material: 100 percent viscose from bamboo fabric
Fill material: 100 percent viscose from bamboo or 100 percent mulberry silk
THE REVIEWS: "I've never spent this much money on bedding. I was very hesitant to buy this comforter (I'm a Home Goods girl) but I have to admit, it's worth the money," writes one reviewer. "The weight is perfect. It's extra big so covers my queen-size bed with plenty on each side and it's buttery soft. I love it!"
Lightweight Comforter
You know what they say: If it’s good enough for NASA, then it’s good enough for you...or something like that. This lightweight, NASA-approved option from Slumber Cloud was specifically developed to control a bed's microclimate and adjust to each sleeper’s ideal sleep temp. The result: a genius down alternative fiberfill comforter that'll keep you feeling just right all night.
Cover material: 100 percent cotton
Fill material: outlast fiberfill
THE REVIEWS: "I love this comforter! I've done hours and research and finally decided to try this out," one reviewer writes. "It's the lightest one I've found and keeps me so cool. I highly recommend it."
Weighted Comforter
A cooling weighted comforter may seem like an oxymoron, but trust: This weighted option from Baloo feels anything but stifling. Available in three different weight options, this blanket is designed to promote optimal airflow and is gently weighted with glass microbeads that allow for deeper rest and relaxation. And unlike other weighted blankets, it's made with 100 percent natural cotton rather than polyester or synthetic liners.

Fill material: 100 percent cotton
Dimensions: 90 inches x 90 inches (queen size)
THE REVIEWS: "I've had my weighted comforter for a few weeks now and it's the best decision I've made regarding my sleep!" one reviewer writes. "I wear a sleep monitor every night as part of my fitness goals and my deep sleep and REM sleep have increased every night on average compared to when I was sleeping without the weighted comforter. I wake up feeling more refreshed and it's like waking up to a hug you don't want to let go of. My body feels more recovered and I can put more energy into my workouts. Also, I don't overheat. It's perfect. You get the weight but not the extra heat!"
CLIMA Comforter
Sijo's CLIMA comforter is made with high-tech phase-changing material that helps you maintain the optimal body temperature for sleep. How it works: When you’re warm, the CLIMA fill absorbs your body heat, and when you’re cold, it releases that heat back to you. It's sorcery! It's science! It's a must-have for hot sleepers and cold sleepers alike!
Cover material: tencel lyocell, mica nylon
Fill material: cooling tech fiber, tencel lyocell fiber, recycled polyester
Dimensions: 90 inches x 90 inches (queen size)
THE REVIEWS: "When I ordered this bedding, I chose it for the technology, but was honestly skeptical of whether or not it would work to keep me at the right temperature all night," one reviewer writes. "But I was so impressed. I usually wake up during the night because I'm either too warm or too cold, and that didn't happen. It really adapted to my body temperature, and since I didn't wake up at all, I had a really high-quality night of sleep. If you're questioning trying this comforter, take this as a sign to try it."
Eucalyptus Lyocell Comforter
Hi, do you hate comforters that get all bunched up? Ya, so does Comma, which is why they made this luxuriously soft eucalyptus and recycled polyester blanket. This bb comes with eight loops for fastening to your duvet cover so it stays in place, and the fill is constructed in a single sheet, which prevents bunching and reduces the need for fluffing. Bless!

Dimensions: 90 inches x 94 inches (queen size)

Lightweight Blanket
Made with natural thermal-regulating bamboo viscose fabric and fill, this pretty quilted comforter from LUXOME is the perfect lightweight layer for your bed year-round.

Fill material: 100 percent bamboo viscose
