Beat the Heat: Your Guide to Layering a Bed for Summer

Summer's here, bringing with it sunny days and warmer nights! It’s the perfect cue to transition your bedding from cozy winter layers to lighter fabrics and refreshing colors. While darker hues and thick bedding define winter comfort, summer calls for bright, airy fabrics and shades that promote coolness. At Quahog Bay Bedding, we're your go-to experts for all things bedding, and we're here to simplify how to choose and layer your bed for the warmer months.

1. Select the Perfect Summer Sheet Set

First things first: it’s time to store away those flannel sheets. Opt for breathable bamboo or cotton blend sheets, and we’ll help you decide which is best for a comfortable summer sleep!

• Bamboo Sheets: Known for being incredibly cool, bamboo sheets offer a luxurious feel. However, they can be quite slippery, which might lead to covers shifting at night or making bed-making a bit challenging. If this is a concern, explore our "Stay On Flat Sheets" available in-store. We also have some favorite bamboo sheet options you can check out! These 300TC Luxurious Bamboo Sheets by Bamboo Is Better are a top seller in our store!
• Cotton Blend Sheets: Our cotton blend sheets are crafted from a 70% cotton and 30% polyester mix. The high cotton content provides a soft, high-quality feel, while the polyester ensures they remain crisp, wrinkle-resistant, and cool to the touch. These BeautyRest Cotton Blend Sheets are a top pick by our shoppers!

2. Choose a Lighter Summer Blanket

Don't let the word "blanket" fool you—it's not just for winter! While you'll definitely want to swap out your bulky, heavy winter layers , a single, lightweight blanket is often just right for those mild summer nights. Look for lighter-weight options in softer hues that complement your new summer bedspread. We love these 100% Egyptian Cotton Blankets for both their attractive geometric tight weave pattern and their beautiful color hues. The Light Blue is our absolute favorite., with Teal coming in at a close second.

3. Embrace a Lighter Summer Bedspread

You can choose from a variety of lightweight quilts, duvets, and comforters. For the ultimate cooling experience, we also offer bamboo duvet cover sets, ensuring your bed is as refreshing as a summer breeze. Check out all of our favorites in our Coastal Bedding Collection!
