6 Reasons Hot Sleepers Are Switching to This Cooling Blanket
The fan. The lighter doona. One leg out. If you sleep hot, you have tried all of it and still woken at 3am with the covers kicked off. The problem was never the room. It is the layer lying on top of you.
Here are six reasons hot sleepers are switching to the Evercool® Comforter, a cooling blanket made for people who run hot.
It is nearly 4x cooler to the touch than cotton.
Most "cooling" blankets feel cold for a moment, then act like whatever they are made of. The Evercool® Comforter's cool feel is measured, not just promised.
Qmax is the lab test for how cool a fabric feels the moment it touches your skin. Higher feels cooler. A fabric needs to score at least 0.18 to be described as cool touch at all. Cotton scores 0.11, so it does not qualify for the category.
In SGS testing, the Evercool® Comforter scored Qmax 0.433 W/cm². The result is published on our third-party test results page, and here is why Qmax matters more than thread count.
No more waking up hot, because the heat has somewhere to go.
Most bedding feels fine at bedtime, then slowly holds onto your warmth. By the early hours there is a layer of warm, damp air between you and the doona, and the only fix is to throw it off and be cold instead.
The Evercool® Comforter is built to let heat move through it instead of building up underneath. It is moisture-wicking too, so it helps keep you dry and comfortable through the night.
The fan, the lighter doona and the "summer" bamboo never changed the layer you were lying under. This does.
It was tested on real sleep, not just a touch test.
Feeling cool for a minute is not the point. Sleeping through is. The Evercool® Comforter was tested by SleepScore Labs:
SleepScore Labs conducted a scientific study which analysed over 1000 nights of sleep. Self-reported results; individual results vary.
Internationally, Rest bedding has won the Good Housekeeping Bedding Award four times.
Australian review site Bedbuyer rated the comforter 4.6 out of 5 (August 2026), calling it "a thoughtfully designed, premium product that delivers on its cooling promises."
Bedbuyer is part of Rest's affiliate program.
And if you want the full set, our Evercool®+ sheets won the Cooling Sheets category at the Prevention Australia Health & Fitness Awards 2026. More on our science page.
One comforter for the whole bed.
One of you overheats all night. The other is already freezing. The fan chills one side, the heavier doona cooks the other, and two separate blankets just means a tug of war at 3am.
The Evercool® Comforter is temperature regulating, so you can use one comforter across the whole bed instead of two. It is soft and smooth, and it falls nicely over the bed.

Easy to wash, and tested for what is not in it.
The Evercool® Comforter is machine washable, so keeping it fresh is easy. Check the care label for the details.
It is OEKO-TEX® certified and made without added PFAS. SGS also tested the comforter for PFAS "forever chemicals" and for BPA (bisphenol A), and none were detected. See the full list on our third-party test results page.
And it is made for the whole year, not just summer. In the cooler months, add a light throw over the top.
