Do you have trouble sleeping through the night because you get too hot? You’re definitely not alone. There are plenty of folks out here with the same problem; so many, in fact, that there’s an entire whole category of sheets designed just to help them out! They’re called cooling sheets, (or cooling bedding in general, but for our purposes today — they’re cooling sheets), and they come in an impressive array of sizes, colors, and patterns right now.

Since the human body loses control of temperature regulation when we fall asleep, the highs and lows we experience while in bed may be a surprise to us if given the chance to monitor them. Come take a closer look at our favorite 5 sets with us and see what sets you need to take home:

Layla Sleep Bamboo Sheets

Layla’s cooling bamboo sheets made from the viscose (or cellulose) of the bamboo plant are not only cool, but silky, soft, breathable, and said to be “3 degrees cooler than cotton”. One reason for hot sleeping is that when we humans go to sleep, we lose our ability to regulate our own body temperature. With this sheet set’s moisture wicking and thermal regulating capabilities, they will surely also keep you dry and cozy.
Quick-growing bamboo is a great resource for the eco-conscious as it’s naturally resistant to pests (thus requiring no pesticides), creates substantially more oxygen than most trees, helps prevent soil erosion, and also requires much less water to grow than cotton. So when you opt for these cooling sheets, you can consider yourself environmentally conscious as well as comfortable!

Available in six sizes (twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and calking), and two colors (white and grey), Layla’s bamboo sheets are $150 for a queen-sized set here.

Every now and again, we can’t help but want to sit back and relax in a quiet space with a good book. But finding a secluded area to crack open your next read can be challenging, which is why having a dedicated reading nook is so beneficial. Whether you’re looking to create a quiet space for your kiddos or you want a nook the whole family can enjoy, here are some brilliant reading nook ideas for the whole family.
The classic window nook
The timeless window nook is a fantastic solution that offers a private reading space for any member of the family. This nook from Bored Panda on Pinterest features an under-the-window reading nook surrounded by lovely shelves. The classic window nook is also great for homes with bay windows or families wanting to include natural lighting in their reading spaces. Bedrooms are an especially good place for this nook idea, particularly kid and teen bedrooms, where the nook can be along the wall in a quieter space and secluded from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house.

The mature corner library
For older kids and adults, the mature corner library can be an easy and affordable way to have an at-home nook. As we can see from this pin on Pinterest, the mature corner reading nook doesn’t require too many pieces to create a lovely space. A comfy chair, a bookshelf, and a good lamp for ample night lighting are all you need. Additionally, by swapping out the furniture for something more kid-friendly, this can also be a great child’s reading nook idea. Instead of a chair, opt for a beanbag or a kid-sized armchair. You can also choose more colorful or child-friendly bookshelves as well.

Decorating a beach home so it doesn’t look over-themed and kitschy can be challenging.

However, it’s fairly simple to create a chic look without making a beach home look like a tacky seaside tourist trap.
