How cooling blankets work?
There is a lack of scientific research that explores the effectiveness of cooling blankets for nonclinical use.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that cooling blankets can help people sleep better in warmer weather or if they get too hot using normal bedding sheets and blankets.
Different cooling blankets work in slightly different ways. However, most cooling blankets use moisture-wicking, breathable fabric. This may promote cooling by absorbing body heat and stopping it from getting trapped under the blanket.

When shopping for a cooling blanket, a person may wish to consider the following:

Fabric: Cooling blankets can use a wide range of fabrics, with manufacturers claiming they help regulate temperature, wick away moisture, and absorb excess heat. Fabrics with looser weaves, such as linen, bamboo, and percale cotton, may breathe more than others. Considering the fabric’s texture, color, and weight, as well as customer reviews, may help a person decide which fabric is right for them.

Cooling technology: Some blankets have special cooling technology that can help draw heat away from the body and store and release it as necessary, keeping a person’s body temperature even throughout the night.

Weight: Manufacturers sometimes add extra weight to a blanket to aid relaxation. Not everyone will find these blankets comfortable, and an individual may wish to research weights that may best suit them before committing to a purchase. Weighted blankets may not be suitable for children or people with health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or claustrophobia. Learn more about weighted blankets here.

Reviews: As there is limited scientific research into the effectiveness of cooling blankets, a person can look at consumer reviews to learn whether users have found cooling blankets effective.

Washing: Some blankets have specific washing and drying requirements that may not be convenient for everyone.

Price: Certain fabrics and cooling technologies may make these blankets more expensive.
