If you’re a hot sleeper then you know cooler temperatures outdoors don’t always translate to a breezy bedtime. So, if you often find yourself sweaty in bed even when the weather changes, then you’re in luck: We found a reviewer-loved cooling throw blanket on sale at Amazon for 40% off with a clipped coupon, knocking the price down to just $18.
The cooling blanket is 50 by 70 inches and several reviewers say it’s exceptionally cool to the touch, making it useful for those who overheat in bed or deal with hot flashes and night sweats from menopause or other health challenges. One reviewer swears it’s helpful in the colder months: “In winter, I’ll use it as the first layer under a warmer blanket, and it can be a little chilly when I first get in bed, but after it warms up, it seems to regulate temperatures better than regular sheets, so I don’t overheat and have to constantly throw my blanket off and then pull it on again when I get cold.”
Many customers say this cooling throw blanket has helped ease warm, sweaty nights and hot flashes. “I have been a massive sweater for at least a year now, and now I’m finding out I’m going through menopause,” explains reviewer Donna P. “Plus I live in South Florida which does not help the heat portion of it … I am EXTREMELY satisfied. If you have major issues with sweating during the night … (especially women going through menopause) DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER! THIS IS THE BLANKIE FOR YOU!”
The fabric, which is made of rayon and a type of cooling nylon, is silky but reviewers say it doesn’t slip while it’s on a bed. Some even say it’s so cooling, their pets love using it. In another glowing testament, reviewer Edwina A. Criear actually says the blanket “was very cool to the touch, even in the plastic bag.”
Keeping cool overnight might be tough, but this affordable blanket might make things easier. At nearly half off its listing price, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of its cooling comfort.
“I love this design. I’m a big fan of “cooling” blankets because it’s very hot where I live but I don’t like sleeping without a sheet. I have several other styles, and most of them are made up of two very thin sheets, sometimes of different materials, which are sewn together around the edges. This blanket (with the “upgraded” fabric) feels like a single thicker layer of fabric, so there’s no problems with trying to find the edge of the blanket and having two layers sliding around on each other. I also like that both sides are the same, so I don’t have to figure out which has the cooler fabric. I’ve bought this blanket in two sizes and use it most of the time. In winter I’ll use it as the first layer under a warmer blanket, and it can be a little chilly when I first get in bed, but after it warms up, it seems to regulate temperatures better than regular sheets, so I don’t overheat and have to constantly throw my blanket off and the pull it on again when I get cold.” — Arden

“It works. I was actually cold. Phoenix weather and Menopause has me on fire but this blanket cools the flames. I had to put my comforter over me to warm up.” — J L

“Especially at bedtime I run very warm in the groin area. I just lay in a T-shirt and underwear and drape this over my midsection and thighs and it is instant cooling relief! When it doesn’t feel cool anymore I just give it 3-4 shakes above me and it’s back to cooling. If having to shake it is a pain, use a fan on low over your body, that keeps it cool too. I did the fan trick in the summer(we have central air conditioning) but now that it’s fall the fan dries my nose and throat out. Not sure how much this would help in a hot humid environment without air conditioning but if your room is cool and dry it’s a must-have in my opinion!” — Krista S

“I’m hot, but not in the good way. I sweat all night in the summer even with the AC cranked, a ceiling fan, and only one thin sheet over me. My poor husband shivers under his double layer fleece blanket all summer. It’s ridiculous. And I haven’t even hit menopause yet! All that said, I’ve been desperately seeking a “cooling blanket” that really worked. Not just some polyester thing. Well, imagine my SHEER JOY to get up the morning after using this blanket the first time NOT covered in sweat! I couldn’t believe it. I don’t know how they wove jade into this (or maybe treated it with jade?) but it has a distinct cooling feel. If it’s been laying on me for a while and loses that cool feeling, I just flip it up in the air a few times to let fresh air get underneath, and it feels cool again. It’s magic, seriously.” — KFitto

“My roommate leaves the a/c at 76 degrees. Ugh. Being menopausal, it’s torture some nights. I have a ceiling fan and a room fan on at night to try and stay cool. I don’t like the air blowing directly on me. I’ve always used a light sheet to cover my torso, but I’d still wake up feeling sticky and sweaty. This blanket is a perfect weight. Slightly heavier than a sheet, but not at all heavy. It keeps the air from blowing directly on me. I don’t wake up sticky. It has a great cooling effect allowing my skin to “breathe”. I stay cool all night. I’ve noticed I’m not waking up to pull my blankets on or off several times a night.” — Athena D.

“Living in Florida and being a hot mama now, I have tried several cooling blankets from Ailemei and other companies. The blankets from Ailemei are in my opinion the Best! They are great, very light, no bad smell and feeling soft and yes-cooling!!!!! I’ve got the costal collection for king, queen and the twin as my throw/travel blanket on Prime day. But this specific upgraded blanket is special. This one seems a little bit thicker, got some weight to it, just the right amount to feel you sleeping under a blanket and not a just a sheet. The blue color is on the darker side, not as bright as pictured, that might be just the photo. Which was unfortunate for me, since it didn’t worked with my bedroom.Even though I had to return it- I will re-purchasing another color when available (high demand). 5 stars from me!” — Gi Gi
