Plenty of pillowcases have cooling properties, but not all them are created equal.

You dont need high-tech fibers to get a reliable cooling pillow, and the Brooklinen Classic Pillowcase proves it.

Plus, its envelope closure design means your pillows will stay securely in the pillowcases rather than sliding out.

On top of being comfortable and cooling, these pillowcases also have plenty in the way of style.

The cooling effect wears off fairly quickly, and the zipper can easily snag.

Its unique selling point is its double-sided design that gives you two different sleep options.

Just note that the small, narrow zip runs the risk of easily snagging or coming off-track.

Theyre on the expensive side, and maintaining them requires laborious cleaning.

Sleek and naturally cool, thissilk pillowcasefeels super-luxe while keeping you from overheating even on the warmest nights.

However, silk does come at a cost, both monetary and effort-wise.

They wrinkle and slide off the pillow inserts very easily.

Bamboo is also a popular material for cooling pillowcases, but they tend to have a higher price point.

Rayon made from bamboo viscose is naturally cooling, excellent at absorbing moisture, and very breathable.

The result is a slightly silky, lightweight pillowcase that comes in nearly 20 different colors and patterns.

Unlike delicate silk pillowcases, this bamboo pick is machine-washable, but be sure to clean it on cold.

The only downside to this material is its wrinkle-prone nature, which can look a little sloppy.

The crisp feeling may not be soft enough for some preferences.

Classic cotton, like the Pact Organic Cool-Air Pillowcase, can be plenty cooling on its own.

The material may pill or snag easily, and it isnt visually appealing.

This pillowcase features a double-sided design that allows you to easily flip it for your preferred texture.

Meanwhile, the other side uses a synthetic fiber blend for more of a relaxed, plush feeling.

Unlike the other pillowcases weve reviewed, this quilted, white-and-gray pick is primarily utilitarian, rather than stylish.

The cover also tends to pill and snag a bit, which can make it look untidy.

Among naturally-derived fibers, silk is often the most cooling, along with bamboo.

Cottonparticularly in heat-wicking weaves like percalecan also have a noticeable cooling effect.
