The 7 Best Summer Comforters That'll Promise a Cool Night's Rest

During the summer months, your goose-down duvets and comforters that keep you warm might not be the best option when temperatures rise. Your solution? Swapping them out for a lighter, more breathable summer comforter to prevent you from waking up in a pool of sweat.

Unlike comforters better suited for the winter months, summer comforters are made with materials like cotton or sateen. The lighter fabric allows for air to circulate and prevents your body from overheating. But, don't only think practically: swapping your comforters is a great excuse to give a bedroom a spring makeover by adding a pop of color or layering a bit.

Below, we've rounded up the seven best summer comforters that are on the market now.
