Best Bedding for Night Sweats & Menopause: What Actually Helps?
Posted: 14 July 2025
When menopause steals your sleep, make sure you take back your comfort.
When menopause shows up, it doesn’t come in lightly.
Nope, it barges in with hot flashes, night sweats, and rubbish sleep that leaves you exhausted.
While we can’t make menopause disappear, we can help you take back some control, starting with your bedding.
When your hormones are doing their thing, the right sheets can make a real difference.
Overheating one minute, freezing the next. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and often overlooked. But the fabrics you sleep in matter more than you think.
Natural, breathable fibres like linen can help regulate your temperature so your sleep is a little less interrupted.
How do Linen Sheets Help With Night Sweats?
1. They’re Naturally Temperature-Regulating
Linen is made from flax, a natural material. Unlike synthetic fibres (or even dense cotton), linen allows air to move freely, helping heat to escape rather than trapping it around your body.

2. They Wick Away Moisture
Linen absorbs up to 20% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. So if you’re sweating during the night, your sheets aren’t clinging to you, they’re actually work to keep you dry.
3. They Feel Light, Not Stuffy
Linen has a relaxed, airy weave that never feels heavy or suffocating. It drapes softly over you instead of sticking to your skin.

4. They Last, Even With Regular Washing
When you're changing your sheets more often, durability matters. Linen is one of the strongest natural fibres out there, so it only gets softer and better with time.
Why We Recommend Linen for Menopause
We’ve had the conversations. With our community, our customers, and among our own team. Menopause and perimenopause are no joke—and we’re not here to pretend linen is a miracle cure. But it is one small, powerful change that can help you feel more like yourself.
And when you’re sleep-deprived, sweating through the sheets, and running on empty, one small thing can make a world of difference.
5 Tips to Sleep Better With Night Sweats
1. Switch to breathable bedding. 100% French flax linen is a beautiful place to start.
2. Wear lightweight sleepwear. Natural fibres like linen can help regulate your temperature.
3. Keep your bedroom cool. Use fans, open windows, or adjust your thermostat if possible.
4. Stay hydrated. It may seem counterintuitive, but drinking water helps regulate your body’s cooling system.
5. Establish a bedtime ritual. Calming practices like gentle stretching or journaling can support your nervous system.
