I Stopped Sweating at Night — Here’s the One Fix That Worked

Now that New York has officially seen its first 90-degree day, I knew I needed to rethink my bedding situation. I’m a notoriously hot sleeper, and while my thick, fluffy comforter and blankets kept me comfy during an intense winter, they’re now the last thing I want on my body. After weeks of tossing them in fits of sweaty frustration, I’ve finally found an airy, summer-ready solution: Brooklinen’s Cotton Gingham Breezeweave Bed Blanket. 

Even better, Brooklinen is offering 25% off sitewide for Memorial Day, which means you can snag the Breezeweave blanket for under $200. Colors are already selling out, so I wouldn’t wait to order yours —  here’s why.

It’s the only blanket you’ll need all summer long (and honestly, probably beyond). Made in Brooklinen’s exclusive Breezeweave fabric, a 100% Turkish cotton gauze that’s ultra-lightweight and breathable, it has a soft, cooling feel that’s perfect for hot sleepers like me. It also comes in a comforter version that editors love. 

Yarn-dyed in three, cute gingham patterns, the blanket adds a layer of energizing color to any bedroom. You’ll want to use it well into the fall and winter season (as an extra layer or decorative accent!). It’s available in two sizes: Full/Queen and King/Cal King. 

For starters, it’s soft — really soft. I was impressed as soon as I pulled it out of the box! Once washed and on my bed, I was hooked. I don’t have much trouble falling asleep as it is, but I swear I fall asleep even faster underneath the blanket’s airy, cloud-like fabric. And when I have my window AC unit cranked to a cool 70 degrees (which will absolutely be the case for the rest of the season), it keeps me cozy without causing me to overheat. 

It’s also thin enough to layer under or over my comforter (I’ve tested both setups extensively). On top of my existing comforter during the last dregs of winter, it’s the ideal second layer, offering lightweight softness and comfort. Underneath, it’s a trusty go-to for when I inevitably ditch my comforter in the middle of the night. This may sound odd, but I’ll sometimes sleep on top of my comforter and use the blanket as my sole covering; it’s that versatile. I’ve also been known to carry the blanket with me to the couch on sleepy Saturday mornings. 

I can’t get enough of the blanket’s adorable gingham print, either. I have it in the Vetiver color, which features a stylish mix of chartreuse and teal and adds a pop of cottagecore pattern to my bedscape. Paired with my other striped, multicolored bedding, it’s truly stunning. Like I said, I sometimes take the blanket with me to the living room sofa, and it looks just as good draped over that, too. 

Suffice to say that the Breezeweave Bed Blanket might be the best bedding I’ve tried all summer. And it’s selling fast, so I’d grab one of your own while it’s on sale!
