Best duvet for night sweats

[tryinghardtostaycalm]

Any recommendations for the best type of duvet? I’ve heard some types (maybe wool?) are better for temperature regulation and wondered if anyone had found this true in practice? Thanks

Bumping for you but I found multiple layers of (single) empty duvet cover and sheet with a fleece on top worked best for me.

You can throw layers on and off easily.

Means the other side of the bed if you gave a partner can have a single duvet of the tog they like in a duvet cover so they are also warm.

My pal swears by keeping a leg out but I can’t sleep like that with one cold leg.

Are you on HRT and would that be an option to consider?
Night sweats can last for decades (my Mum's did) so it's worth thinking of other options.

If it's cold enough to need it, two light or mid duvets one on top of the other, so you can throw the top one back and pull it over again when the heat dies down.

To add, I found down duvets much worse for this than artificial fibres (I tried down because I thought it might be better). I haven't tried wool as they're so expensive and I can't be sure it wouldn't turn out to be an expensive mistake.

Unfortunately I can’t take HRT. I am also going to explore whether there are any supplements etc that would be suitable though.

We had a wool duvet and they keep you warm but not sweaty .
Then I decided to buy an all season's duvet where you have a 4.5 tog & an 8 that poppers together but can be used individually for different times .
We used the 4.5 during the summer ok but when I swapped over to the 8 even my dh made the comment about waking up sweaty . Never got to try them poppered together !
Have gone back to our trusty wool one .

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering about trying down, but doesn’t sound like it would help. And agree about cost of wool - hopefully someone who did take the plunge will come on and let us know if it’s worth it!

I’m doing layers too & it tends to work, even factoring in the cat lying on the end of the bed.

Some mornings I wake up & realise I must have pushed the top layer down in my sleep.

At the moment I can’t imagine ever needing to wear warm pyjamas again though.

The problem with down is that it's heavy and really clings to you, and if you have a bad sweat it gets soaked and stays damp - with artificial fibre you do at least retain airflow between yourself and the duvet and it dries rapidly.

It's worth getting specialist advice from a meno consultant.

There are prescribed drugs that are available for flushes and sweats (some new ones) that may suit you.

Also, there are limitations of herbs and supplements because some of them can be estrogenic ( soy, certain herbs) and are not recommended.
