You might have felt it in the last few months: the weather's getting better and temperatures are increasing.

In the spring, you might've gotten away with sleeping in your winter bedding set. But now that summer's soon arriving, you may have noticed that burrowing into such thick covers may quickly become unbearable.

It's high time you say goodbye to these thick sheets and say hello to something that'll keep you sweat-free during those hot summer nights.

To make sure you stay cool and comfortable as the temperatures rise, you need to have the right summer bedding setup. Read on to find out what you need to do to prepare.

Swap out Your Duvet

First things first: remember that winter duvet you've been sleeping with for the last few months? While it's fluffy and thick, it's certainly not appropriate for summer.

You may already have a set of summer sheets in the closet, so give your winter ones a good wash, then swap out your duvet for the thinner, cooler one you have. They'll keep you nice and insulated without making you heat up and sweat throughout the night.

Otherwise, if you don't have a summer set, you'll want to get some pronto. These will feel much lighter and you won't have to struggle with sticking various body parts out the covers to stay cool while you sleep.

For instance, there's the Nest Bedding wool comforter, which is perfect for people who run hot. Having lightweight summer bedding on hand is worth it when you don't have to toss and turn constantly.

Get New Pillows

New season, new pillows!

Chances are, you've had your pillows for years. They're probably mushy, which doesn't help your sleep quality at all.

A new season is a perfect time to replace your pillows. With Nest Bedding's Easy Breather Pillow, you'll feel a big difference in your quality of sleep.

This pillow has a supportive foam fill that you can take out our fill to your current preferences. The cover is also very breathable and can be easily taken off to be washed.

All materials used to make this pillow are eco-friendly, so you can replace your pillows without too much guilt.

Get a Waterproof Cooling Mattress Protector

Just switching to a summer duvet won't be enough, especially if summers get stifling hot in your area. Your body is constantly giving off heat, which will make the bed feel warmer and warmer with each hour.

Something helpful you can get is a waterproof cooling mattress protector. To prolong the lifespan of your mattress, you should be using a protector anyway.

But with a product like a protector from Nest, you'll get many wonderful benefits. For example, if you tend to sweat a lot, the waterproof feature means any moisture won't make its way through the protector and into the mattress, where it's much harder to clean.

In addition, the protector uses DrySleep technology. Not only does this stop liquids from getting through, but it also provides a cooling effect.

Get Waterproof Cooling Pillow Protectors

Why stop with a waterproof cooling mattress protector? You should also get some pillow protectors that utilize the same technology!

One place you might tend to sweat a lot in is your heads, especially if you have craniofacial hyperhidrosis. Some of us sweat enough during hot temperatures that we soak through our pillows. This can make it musty and odorous, not to mention also very unhygienic.

A waterproof cooling pillow protector will serve the same purpose as a mattress protector. Not only will it stop your sweat from making it through to your pillow, but the material used will keep you nice and cool during bedtime.

As a result, this can also extend the lifespan of your pillows. So think of the pillow protectors as a good investment!

Replace Your Sheets

You might think that the sheets you have for winter can be used all year long, but think again. The material they're made with will make a significant difference when you lie down to sleep.

Obviously, the material your winter sheets are made of will be optimal for trapping heat in. But you certainly don't want that during the summer!

When temperatures rise, you want to replace your sheets with something like bamboo duvet covers. Bamboo naturally has antimicrobial properties, which means it's great for sensitive skin.

In addition, it can be made into a rayon fabric. This means that bamboo sheet covers are lightweight and allow you to stay cool for hours. It's also excellent for moisture-wicking, so again, this is something warm sleepers definitely need!

Purchase a Cooling Topper

If you want to stay nice and comfy throughout the hottest summer nights, then one of the best summer bedding ideas is to get a cooling topper. These are special-made with cooling material, plus they give you an extra layer of protection for your mattress.

Another outstanding benefit of cooling toppers is they give you additional comfort. This is because they're typically made with high-tech foam, which will conform to your body, no matter how you sleep throughout the night.
