What’s the Best Comforter for Summer?

Love the feel of a comforter, but don’t want to overheat when summer rolls around? We’ve got you covered. Explore our top tips for choosing the best comforter for hot summer weather (or as a year-round bed topper in warmer climates), and check out our bonus tricks for layering your bed during warmer seasons.

One of the perks of a comforter is its plush, cloudlike style–and that lofty look doesn’t have to wait for winter. Whether you choose down or down alternative fill, a lightweight summer comforter is a breathable bedding option that offers just-right warmth for summer nights. Our comforter weight options allow you to choose the warmth level that works for you, so this fluffy top layer can be personalized exactly to your preferences.

QUICK TIP: We love both down and down alternative comforters in summer, but if you prefer pure down bedding, look for a lower fill power—it traps less air per ounce, which means a cooler bed.
