I can’t sleep without waking up drenched in sweat and it’s bugging me. I recently found a goose down feather pillow at BB&B on clearance for $15 and it’s so wonderful to sleep on. I keep my foam pillow underneath for support and sink into the feather pillow. It’s helped significantly and now I want to fix the rest of the bed. I have cotton sheets, but polyester comforter and matress cover.

I just purchased a new duvet cover that was on clearance as well. I’ll have to double check but I’m pretty sure it’s 100% cotton. I would like to have two comforters for it, a heavy weight for winter and lighter for spring/fall.
I want a new mattress cover. We had one that we purchased with the bed, but got to the point it needed to be replaced. I got one at target, but it’s all polyester with a poly fill.

So what are my best options on materials/fill and what price point?

The expensive ones. I feel like someday that perhaps I could also enjoy high end bedding materials .

Honestly polyester is the only one that doesn't make me itch. What part of the world do you live in that you get sweats like that?

When I used to work out a lot I used to sweat in my sleep like a crazy person.

California. Smack dab in the middle where there’s barely any change in weather. We get a few inches of rain a year. It gets about as cold as the 50’s in the winter and just about a 100 in the middle of summer.

Polyester just doesn’t breathe the way cotton, wool, or down does. I got tired of polyester jackets too. I do have some, but my usual one is a 60/40 blend.

I travel out every week for work, so I want to enjoy a good night sleep when I’m at home and I just haven’t been able to in a long time. At least now I can afford quality stuff.

Silk is fun
Cotton is good

Sorry OP, I don't have any info for you, but I'm subscribing to this thread. I also am in CA and hate my bedding set. I just tried out a new "cooling" variant of a comforter/comforter cover from IKEA and it makes me more uncomfortable than the damn 30 dollar set I bought off of Amazon a year ago. Never woke up with so much sweat, over multiple nights too, not just a one time fluke.
