Beat the Heat: Our Best Tips for Cool Summer Bedding

Beat the Heat: Our Best Tips for Cool Summer Bedding

18th Jul 2024

Summer RV camping is a fantastic way to enjoy the great outdoors, but staying cool during those hot nights can be a challenge. At AB Lifestyles, we understand the importance of a comfortable night’s sleep, especially when the temperatures rise. Here are some expert tips on how to use bedding to stay cool while camping in your RV this summer.

1. Choose Breathable Fabrics

Opt for sheets and pillowcases made from natural, breathable materials like cotton or bamboo. These fabrics allow air to circulate, keeping you cool throughout the night. AB Lifestyles offers a range of high-quality, breathable bedding options specifically designed for RV and Airstream mattresses.

AB Lifestyles Recommendation:
Our range of high-quality, breathable bedding options, like our most popular Road Ready 300 thread count 100% cotton sheets for RV and Airstream, are perfect for keeping you cool. Cotton's natural fibers wick away moisture, ensuring a comfortable sleep.


2. Light-Colored Bedding

Choose light-colored bedding as it reflects heat rather than absorbing it. This simple change can help keep your bed cooler, making it easier to sleep comfortably on warm nights.

AB Lifestyles Recommendation:
Consider light-colored sheet sets, like our 500 thread count American Traveler for RV & Airstream.


3. Keep Bedding Clean

Regularly wash your bedding to keep it fresh and free from sweat buildup. Clean bedding not only feels better but also contributes to a cooler sleeping environment.

AB Lifestyles Recommendation:
Our products are machine washable and designed to withstand frequent laundering. Check out our blog for our guide to caring for your sheets.

4. Layer Wisely

Using multiple layers of lightweight bedding allows you to adjust your comfort level easily. You can add or remove layers as needed to find the perfect balance.

AB Lifestyles Recommendation:
Our Polartec fleece blankets for RV & Airstream, are an excellent lightweight layering option. Their breathable, moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cozy while maintaining optimal airflow for a comfortable night's sleep.


5. Cooling Mattress Toppers

A quality mattress topper can make a world of difference on hot summer nights. Look for toppers made with gel-infused foam or other cooling technologies to help regulate your body temperature.

AB Lifestyles Recommendation:
Our Serene Foam mattress toppers for RV & Airstream use advanced Supportive Air™ technology to enhance airflow and dissipate heat, ensuring a cooler and more comfortable sleep environment.

6. Temperature Regulating Pillows

Your pillow plays a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable sleep temperature. Invest in cooling pillows that are designed to dissipate heat and keep your head cool.

AB Lifestyles Recommendation:
Our Perfect Pillows are filled with shredded Serene Foam, and provide the same enhanced air flow and heat dissipation qualities as our mattress toppers, ensuring your head stays cool and comfortable throughout the night.


7. Mattresses with Cooling Technologies

Using advanced cooling technologies in your mattress can significantly improve your sleep comfort. Cooling gel-infused memory foam and open cell foam work together to provide superior breathability and temperature regulation. The cooling gel conforms to your shape and dissipates heat, while the open cell structure allows air to circulate freely, preventing heat buildup.

AB Lifestyles Recommendation:
We offer a range of varying depths of mattresses which feature both cooling gel memory foam and AirFlow open cell foam
ensuring a cooler and more comfortable sleep experience.
