Founding Story
WHERE REST BEGAN
It started, as many great partnerships do, on a school playground. When Rick Louie transferred to a Vancouver elementary school in the 1990s, an astute teacher paired him with a classmate known for being the “nice one” who would show the new kid around. That student was Andy Nguyen. Rick's parents, like many Hong Kong families, had emigrated, landing in the multicultural, working-class Vancouver neighborhood of Renfrew Heights and getting assigned to Andy's school based on Postal Code alone.
What started as a teacher's intuition became one of the most enduring friendships—and eventually one of the most productive business partnerships—either of them would ever have. They played sports together obsessively: table tennis, track & field, soccer. They competed in everything, not just against each other, but as part of a tight-knit group of friends who were always pushing one another. They went to the same elementary school, the same high school, and stayed close through university. Thirty-plus years later, that same competitive energy—tempered now by trust and complementary strengths—is what powers Rest.
THE LONG ROAD TO THE RIGHT IDEA
After university, their paths diverged in unpredictably entrepreneurial ways. Rick, whose parents ran a restaurant in Vancouver, had grown up watching them build something of their own. He spent summers working odd jobs, then launched a reusable bag import business just as Canadian retailers were phasing out plastic—an emerging global trend he spotted early at a Chinese trade fair in the mid 2000s. From there he built out a full e-commerce operation, running Louie Supply as a one-man show: media buying, copywriting, customer service, fulfillment. He learned every corner of the business ecosystem firsthand.
Andy, meanwhile, took a brief corporate detour—a stint at PwC that lasted long enough to confirm he was, by his own admission, a terrible auditor. He was let go during the 2008 financial crisis layoffs, a moment he now describes as one of the best things that ever happened to him. He and Rick joined forces to launch a Halloween costume business together, flying products from China to stock a handful of pop-up stores in Vancouver. It worked—until Andy made the decision to move to China, and they wound it down. What the physical retail business taught Andy: Not going digital first was a critical mistake. China, he saw firsthand, was years ahead of the West on e-commerce. It was only a matter of time.
In Shanghai, Andy built a career in digital marketing at agencies working with major international brands—LEGO, Costa Coffee, HK Disneyland, Nike. He also helped Chinese brands like Ecovacs break into Western markets. He was learning how big, purpose-driven brands behave from the inside—the cult-level clarity of Disney, the athlete-in-everyone conviction of Nike. He filed it all away. He was waiting for the right moment.
THE PIVOT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
That moment arrived through a Chinese language tutor, a business-minded connection named Mr. Zhou, who shared Andy's instinct for identifying white space. The two of them began workshopping an idea: Build a company that could help manufacturers in Asia create real, competitive brands for the North American market. They held a workshop with Alibaba Group to meet manufacturers interested in going international. One attendee—a factory owner who supplied premium duvets to five-star hotels—raised his hand immediately. That handshake became the foundation of MTC Global and, eventually, Rest.
Andy called Rick. He remembers pacing outside on the street. A long coffee break. A pitch that didn't take long to land. Rick had been grinding through the increasingly cutthroat world of drop-shipping and was ready for something more substantial—a real brand, a real product, a real reason to keep building. The timing was perfect. Rick brought the performance marketing and full-stack e-commerce experience. Andy provided the brand strategy instincts. Mr. Zhou supplied the manufacturing relationships and operational backbone. They were also guided by the corporate expertise of Brian A. Wong, an entrepreneur and investor and long-time leader at Alibaba Group, who helped shape the brand vision, values, and positioning. Together, this team had something none of them could pull off alone.
BORN DURING A PANDEMIC, BUILT FOR AN EVOLVING MARKETPLACE
Rest launched in 2021—in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic. Flights were grounded, borders were closed, and Rick, Andy, and Mr. Zhou wouldn't meet in person for two and a half years. The company was built entirely over Zoom. What began as a logistical constraint became, in time, a superpower: a truly remote-first, globally distributed team that could tap talent from anywhere and remain resilient and agile in the face of shifting global dynamics and technological advancements. Today, Rest employs approximately 80 people across 13 countries. Morning, afternoon, and good night—all in the same call.
FINDING THE GAP IN THE BEDDING MARKET
Early on, Andy started interviewing friends in the US and Canada about their personal experiences with bedding brands. What he found was striking: Virtually nothing had changed in the industry in decades. The same products, the same retailers, the same minor aesthetic updates that perpetually lagged two to three years behind fashion and tech trends. The industry was overdue for disruption. DTC brands like Buffy and Cozy Earth were gaining traction, but no one was truly innovating on the product itself.
At the same time, the team was attending trade shows to explore how to take the emerging technology available in apparels and apply it to new verticals. They landed upon it: a cooling fabric that had gone viral in China and was already solving a real problem for a specific, underserved customer. They sampled it to a test group of menopausal and perimenopausal women. The feedback was unanimous. Rest had found its product.
They named the technology Evercool®, built the science around it, and made a deliberate decision that set Rest apart from every competitor: Rather than targeting the generic "if you sleep hot" crowd, they went specific. They solved a real problem for a real person—women going through perimenopause and menopause. Also, because Andy, Rick, and Mr Zhou were outsiders to the bedding industry, the team approached product development and messaging from a very different angle. They believe this naivety and optimism at the start allowed Rest to be different and stand out from the established crowd.
That clarity and desire to disrupt—combined with a supply chain that let them iterate in weeks rather than months—allowed Rest to do what legacy bedding brands couldn't: Move fast, go deep, and never compromise on quality.
THE MOMENT THAT LIT THE FUSE
In May 2022, Andy was cold-emailing editors of "best cooling comforter" roundup lists, attaching screenshots of early customer reviews and pointing out—politely but directly—that the products on their lists weren't actually cooling comforters. Good Housekeeping took the bait. The list of top 10 cooling comforters became 11 to make room for Rest. It was a tiny snowball. But it started an avalanche.
Since then, Rest has earned Good Housekeeping's Best Bedding Award for its Evercool® Cooling Comforter four years running, an Apartment Therapy Best List Award and a 2025 Health Sleep Award for the Evercool®+ Cooling Sheet Set, and a 2025 Oprah Daily Sleep O-Ward for the Evercool® Cooling Pillow. Rick calls the Good Housekeeping recognition the Oscars of bedding. And they're just getting started—Evercool® 2.0 (and beyond!) is already in development, because that's the Rest playbook: If it's the best, make it better.
WHAT REST REALLY STANDS FOR
Rest was never meant to be a luxury brand. The founders have always been deliberate about pricing: high enough to fund the quality, research, and craftsmanship the product demands; accessible enough that better sleep doesn't feel like a privilege. The goal has always been to make a customer say, "That was a little expensive—but worth every single penny." The reviews they get most often say exactly that, followed closely by: "Why didn't I buy this sooner?"
People talk constantly about diet and exercise as components of health and wellness. Health and wellness experts agree, sleep is considered the third pillar of health. However, it gets a fraction of the attention despite the fact that we spend a third of our lives doing it. Rest exists to close that gap: science-backed products, direct from manufacturer to consumer, designed to give every sleeper—regardless of their body temperature, their budget, or their bedtime—the best night's rest they've ever had.

Andy Nguyen has spent his career in the space between East and West—learning both sides well enough to know exactly how to bridge them. As Co-Founder and CEO of Rest and Co-Founder of MTC Global, he leads a team of 80 across 13 countries, building one of the most innovative sleep brands in North America from a home base in Hong Kong.Andy was born in Hong Kong and moved to Vancouver, Canada, as a child, landing in the multicultural neighborhood of Renfrew Heights—a community of second-generation immigrants from across the world. Growing up surrounded by different cultures wasn't just formative; it became the foundation of how he thinks about consumers. Empathy isn't a business strategy for Andy—it's second nature. He's spent his career trying to understand people who aren't like him, catching his own biases, and staying genuinely curious about the other angle.After earning a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia with a focus on marketing, logistics, and accounting, Andy took a brief corporate detour—a stint at PwC that confirmed, quickly, that auditing wasn't his calling. Being part of a layoff during the 2008 financial crisis, he recognized, was one of the best things that ever happened to him. It freed him to pursue what he'd always wanted: building things.He and longtime friend Rick Louie launched a Halloween business together, importing products from China to stock pop-up stores across Vancouver. The business worked, but it taught Andy a lesson he carried forward: Failing to capture the digital market first was a critical mistake. When he made the decision to move to China in 2014, he took that lesson with him.For six years in Shanghai, Andy worked in digital marketing at agencies serving major international brands—LEGO, Costa Coffee, HK Disneyland, Nike. He also helped Chinese brands like Ecovacs in Western markets, learning firsthand what it takes to make a product resonate with an audience that doesn't share its cultural origin. The biggest insight from those years: The best brands—Disney, Nike—have cult-level clarity about their purpose, and that clarity runs through every touchpoint. Even a small company, Andy decided, should behave like it's big. So why not start now?The idea for Rest came through a connection he'd made in Shanghai—Mr. Zhou, a well-networked business mind who shared Andy's instinct for identifying market white space. Together with Rick, they saw two gaps converging: Manufacturers in Asia striving to build brands for Western markets, and Western brands struggling to innovate due to separation from the supply chain. Rest was their answer. Founded in 2021, it was built entirely on Zoom calls—a necessity that became a philosophy. Rest has been a remote-first, globally distributed company from day one.As CEO, Andy's north star metrics are straightforward: year-over-year revenue growth, customer review sentiment, increasing brand awareness, and—perhaps most importantly—the culture of the business. He knows that great ideas don't succeed without the right people behind them. His leadership style is rooted in something he learned on the rugby pitch in high school: You don't have to be the biggest or the fastest. You have to know your role, do it well, and help the team win. That's the job.Andy lives in Hong Kong with his family. Outside of work, he enjoys being a dad to two young daughters, as well as runs, cooks, and stays current on the political economy and his favorite North American sports teams. He also appreciates a good DIY project—and a great comic.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyxnguyen/

Rick Louie has spent his career doing two things exceptionally well: spotting opportunities before they're obvious, and building the operational machinery to capture them. As Co-Founder of Rest and Co-Founder of MTC Global, he brings more than a decade of global sourcing, supply chain, and e-commerce experience to a brand that has redefined what sleep products can look like when quality and transparency aren't negotiable.Rick was born and raised in Hong Kong, and immigrated to Vancouver, Canada with his family. He was assigned to a school in Renfrew Heights based on his neighborhood where he was introduced to a classmate named Andy Nguyen by a teacher who said Andy was the nice one who'd show him around. They formed a lasting friendship, and 30-plus years later, they're still building things together.Entrepreneurship was never a career choice for Rick—it was just how he was wired. His parents owned a restaurant, and he grew up watching them build something from scratch. When he briefly attended architecture school after graduating from Simon Fraser University, he lasted less than a year before realizing that sitting at a computer running cost estimates wasn't the life he wanted. He had no idea what came next. The answer came at a Chinese trade fair in the mid 2000s, where he spotted an opportunity that most North Americans had missed: Canadian retailers were phasing out plastic bags, but there weren't many reusable alternatives on the market yet. Rick started importing customized bags and selling them directly to grocery stores. What looked like a niche business was really a masterclass—in importing, in B2B sales, in sourcing direct from manufacturers in China. It was the foundation everything else would be built upon.When e-commerce began to take off, Rick made the pivot without hesitation. He launched his first e-commerce store selling men’s clothing, and ran it entirely solo: setting up the website, handling media buys, writing copy, managing customer service, picking and packing orders. It was exhausting, but it was also invaluable. Running every function of a business yourself means you understand the full ecosystem—not just what each piece does, but how they all connect. That understanding is one of Rick's most durable competitive advantages.When drop-shipping began to commoditize, Rick was already thinking about what came next. He wanted a real brand—something ownable, something built to last. Andy reached out at exactly the right moment. Together with Mr. Zhou, whose manufacturing relationships in China were unmatched, the three entrepreneurs saw an opening: a cooling fabric that had gone viral in China, an underserved audience of hot sleepers, and a supply chain that let them iterate in weeks instead of months. Rest was the result.Rick's decade-plus in global sourcing shapes how Rest builds products in ways competitors can't easily replicate. Most bedding brands sit several layers removed from their factories—relying on intermediaries who add cost, reduce transparency, and slow down iteration. Rest connects directly to the manufacturer. That means the quality claims on the label are backed by lab reports. It means the product can be improved in weeks, not quarters. And it means when Rick says something is the best, he can prove it.Today, Rick operates at a strategic and operational level—building the 80-person-plus team, establishing processes, and making sure the organization has the infrastructure to scale. The hardest part of that evolution, he'll admit, was learning to trust other people to do the work. "I never thought anyone could do a better job than me." He's since learned that a focused specialist can, and the company runs better because of it.Rick currently lives in Vietnam, where he still finds time to play basketball at least once a week. He's a new father, which has added new meaning to the idea of getting quality sleep—even if getting eight hours of it remains aspirational. His favorite part of any given workday is reading Rest customer reviews. When a customer dealing with a health condition says the Evercool® comforter helped them sleep through the night, he's reminded that they're not just selling bedding. They're making a real difference in customers’ lives.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rlouie/

The 8 Best Comforters For Hot Sleepers That Actually Kept Us Cool
Why We Named It Best Soft This cooling comforter features a mostly nylon, cool-to-the-touch cover filled with Tencel and a material called Sorona. Sorona is a new high-performance fabric made in part from plant-based ingredients through a fermentation process. This results in a fill blend that’s breathable and moisture wicking, so you don’t overheat while sleeping. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it safe for those with allergies or sensitive skin. As for style and care, the Evercool Comforter comes in a few bright color options and can be both machine-washed and dried. How It Performed During Testing One of our testers says, “The Rest Evercool actually stays cool while still keeping me warm,” adding that it’s “so cozy, so soft and so cool.” Another tester who currently sleeps with the comforter emphasizes that its “cooling properties are beyond in comparison to other comforters I’ve tried.” He says, “Sleeping with my previous comforter, I often woke up with a damp forehead or realizing I was overheating. That hasn’t happened to me once since I’ve started using this comforter. The heat escapes easily from below, so I’m no longer throwing the blankets off me in the middle of the night in a sweat fit.” However, our testers point out that the comforter lacks loops or corner ties, so using it without a cover isn’t a viable option.

The Best Cooling Blankets to Stop Waking Up in a Pool of Sweat
There’s absolutely no contest: The Rest Evercool is the best cooling comforter on the market right now. The material is ultra-smooth, lightweight, and engineered to feel cold against the skin without ever feeling clammy. There have been moments when my fan is on blast and I’m bundled up in this blanket and I feel legitimately cold in the summer (something that used to feel impossible). But all other times, it just keeps my body nicely chill and prevents mid-night sweats. Even after a night of sleep, you can still shift the blanket and find the icy cool sensation all over again. I layer it under my duvet because I don’t love the way it looks on my bed (it lays flat compared to a regular comforter because it’s all drape and no loft), but this way I get the coziness of a normal comforter with the cool-to-the-touch magic right next to my skin. Some may not love the slinky, almost athletic-feeling texture, but if you’re serious about cooling power, nothing else comes close.

It's one of the only comforters I've tested that's truly cool to the touch thanks to its naturally cooling Tencel and Sorona materials. This is the best comforter for those who heat up during the night. How it sleeps: This comforter is thin and looks more like a blanket than fluffy bedding. Due to its materials, such as Tencel lyocell, the Rest Evercool Cooling comforter is naturally moisture-wicking and will help to keep hot sleepers at a good temperature all night. My boyfriend and I practice the Scandinavian sleep method at night, so he sleeps with this comforter while I use the Buffy Cloud.

We Asked Sweaty Sleepers to Try Cooling Sheets — These Are the 8 They Liked Best
There’s nothing worse than waking up drenched in sweat, with damp sheets twisted around you. That’s why these moisture-wicking sheets really stood out for their quick drying time during testing. Cooling bedding is traditionally made with breathable fibers like cotton, linen, or bamboo, but Rest Evercool+ Cooling sheets are made with the brand's proprietary Evercool+ Performance fabric, a blend of nylon and spandex designed to mimic the smoothness and softness of silk. Evercool+ Performance fabric is composed of thin fibers that can help promote moisture wicking and faster drying, and treated with an ionic antimicrobial technology that helps repel microbes and smells. Right out of the package, Rest Evercool+ Cooling bedding felt notably cold to the touch. During our sleep tests, the stretchy, soft fabric remained cool throughout the night. If anything, our complaint might be that these sheets are too cold: After returning to bed after using the bathroom in the middle of the night, it took a moment to warm up enough to fall back asleep in the frosty sheets. In addition, the sheets are so silky that they tend to slide around, which could be annoying for sleepers who toss and turn and get tangled up in their sheets. Rest Evercool+ Cooling sheets have an Oeko-Tex certification, an internationally recognized label awarded to products that have been tested for harmful substances and found to be safe for humans and the environment. These sheets are backed by a 30-night return policy and a one-year warranty.

This Blanket Keeps Me Cool Through Even the Hottest Texas Summers
"As a native Texan and nearly lifelong Houstonian, I know a thing or two about hot weather. Most notably, I know that to survive our six-month-long summers, I need to follow a few rules: always wear sunscreen, stay hydrated (margaritas, unfortunately, don’t count), and never, ever, turn the thermostat above 72 degrees. For nearly three decades, these rules kept me cool—until two years ago, when I moved in with my fiancée, who had east-facing bedroom windows. No matter how low I turned the thermostat or how high I cranked both the ceiling fan and my bedside tower fan, I would inevitably wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat. Without regular uninterrupted sleep, I became sluggish and grumpy. I started dreading bedtime—I was tired of being tired.

"Drew Barrymore knows it can be difficult to get a good night’s sleep. “Being a mom, businesswoman, and someone whose mind is constantly racing, it can feel not just challenging but impossible,” she tells PEOPLE. “I used to toss and turn throughout the night or stay up staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep.” She adds, “More recently, I’ve become a bit of a hot sleeper (thanks, hormones), which really affects how well I sleep and whether I can make it throughout the night without waking up. Or if I do, if I can fall back asleep at all.” As part of her journey to quality sleep, the actress and talk show host, 49, partnered with Rest as the bedding brand’s official “Sleep Wellness Advocate.”"

Fighting For Covers? The Best Oversized Blankets Keep Everyone Cozy
The Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter is designed specifically for hot sleepers, with optimal breathability and an icy, cold-to-the-touch feel. It’s made with phase change material, which allows it to effectively absorb and dissipate body heat to stay chilly. The blanket is definitely worth the investment if you’re a hot sleeper, or if you’re looking for a large throw blanket that doesn’t trap heat. For an oversized style, choose the King/Cali King size. Although you may think a cooling material such as the one in the Rest Evercool would be a bit fussy to wash, the blanket is also extremely low-maintenance. It can be tossed in the washer and the dryer for easy cleaning. Check out more of our favorite cooling blankets. What the writer says: I have owned this blanket for about two years. My husband and son, who are both hot sleepers, adore it. It’s hard to describe how truly cold this blanket feels. It’s the only blanket my son will use, and it’s held up well to semi-regular washing.

8 Best Cooling Bed Sheets of 2024, Tested and Reviewed
When I opened the Rest Evercool Cooling Sheet Set, I immediately felt how lightweight and cool the sheets were to touch. Getting into these sheets sent a cooling sensation through my legs, even when I was already hot. They’re super breathable and stretchy, too, so airflow from a fan or open window will be felt through the sheets. I also love that these sheets are made with an anti-microbial material, so I can feel good about snuggling into a clean bed at night. I ordered the sheets in frosty peach, a creamy yellow color with pink tones. (They look slightly darker and pinker than pictured online.) They also come in grey and blue, but I wish more options were available. Though there are few colorways, the sheets are incredibly high-quality. The stretchy, breathable fabric is thin but not see-through. Best of all, they don’t wrinkle like many of the other sheet sets I tested, and they look as good as new after washing—which was not always the case with other sheets I tried.

12 Best Comforters on Amazon That'll Have You Sleeping Like a Baby
For the sleeper who loves the comfort of a duvet year-round but needs something as light as a quilt for the warmer months, meet your perfect match. This cooling comforter is more of a cross between a comforter and a quilt, if you ask us. It's ultra-lightweight with minimal fill but still has an adequate amount of fluff to make it cozy. But it's not just the minimal fill that makes this comforter perfect for summer. The shell of the Evercool® comforter is made from fibers that are five times finer than silk, so it's totally cool to the touch. That's why this duvet is designed to be used totally on its own—no cover and no top sheet. These ultra-thin fibers also create a weave structure that can quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact with, though we highly doubt you'll sweat with this comforter. The best part? This comforter doesn't require any special care—just toss it in the washing machine. And while it's a pricier duvet insert, considering you can drop the top sheet and duvet cover, you may save money in the long run. Editor review: "I'm a hot sleeper, so the idea of a cooling comforter is very intriguing to me. This Evercool comforter from Rest is surprisingly cool—like the other side of the pillow. It actually feels cool and silky to the touch. The moisture-wicking fabric kept me comfortable at night. That said, it might not be warm enough for sleepers in cold climates. I don't use a top sheet, so the feel of a comforter is key. This one is very smooth and gentle on the skin.It's also machine-washable and resists pet hair—a must in my house."

The Best Comforters and Duvet Inserts We've Ever Tested
Hot sleepers are familiar with the struggle of overheating at night, and Rest Evercool’s Cooling Comforter will help them say goodbye to night sweats. The manufacturer boasts that its signature fabric “absorbs and disperses heat 10 times faster than cotton.” After testing the comforter ourselves, we can confirm that the impressive temperature-regulating technology works. It’s crafted from a blend of ultra-thin yarn and spandex, giving it a smooth yet sturdy feel. We found the texture to be unlike any comforter we’ve ever used—it has the stretchiness of spandex with an added fluffiness that we didn’t expect. Not only was this comforter cool to the touch, but it also remained cool in our testing. Despite maintaining its impressive cooling capabilities over time, we did notice some loose threads at the six-month mark. However, we think the insert's superb temperature regulation makes up for it. We appreciated the heft, as many cooling comforters are often very thin. It contoured nicely to our body’s curves, comfortably draping over us. The fill, which is sewn into the comforter, didn’t shift at all as we tossed and turned. According to the manufacturer, the cooling technology works best without a duvet cover or top sheet, which may be a stylistic deterrent for some. Still, since the comforter is available in three colors, it can tie a room together on its own.

The Rest Evercool Cooling comforter quickly become a standout favorite. It completely exceeded my expectations. It's one of the coolest comforters I've ever tested — my husband and I never woke up hot or sweating during the latest heat wave when we tested it. Incredibly lightweight, it feels soothingly light and airy, making it a joy to snuggle into with its soft, silky, and smooth nylon and spandex shell. What I love the most is its versatility — it's reversible and comes in a variety of colors, including my personal favorite, aqua blue. Crafted from a blend of natural TENCEL and Sorona, an eco-friendly fiber made from renewable, plant-based materials, the Rest comforter offers exceptional breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities. Washing it was a breeze due to its lightweight nature, and it retained its shape perfectly without clumping, shrinking, or stretching.

Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter: The perfect solution for hot sleepers, this comforter feels cold to the touch and uses a performance outer fabric that wicks sweat away. In fact, it aced the moisture-wicking tests in our Lab evaluations. It's also fairly thin and lightweight compared to traditional comforters, making it ideal for warmer weather. It's meant to be used without a duvet cover, so it may be less aesthetic for those who prioritize appearance. Testers — especially hot sleepers — couldn't believe how well it worked. "It felt nice and made me feel secure since I always need to sleep with a cover," one said. "I never got warm, which is a major issue I have at night." A different tester told us, "This comforter feels soft and cool (almost icy even), providing much needed relief in hot weather." Another sweaty sleeper said, "I swear this comforter is magic!"

It has moisture-wicking qualities, is quick-drying, has a fine yarn construction that feels similar to silk, and its specially tested “Evercool fabric rapidly absorbs and disperses heat” 10 times faster than cotton.

The Best Cooling Blankets, According to Months of Testing
If you’re looking for something heavier than a blanket, we recommend the Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter, which can be used on its own or inserted into a duvet. After laying under the comforter for five minutes, we weren’t overheated and the fabric was still cool to the touch. The comforter has a sewn through construction to keep the down alternative fill from shifting when you toss and turn. The outer shell is made of nylon and spandex, which aren’t traditionally cooling materials but stayed breathable in our tests. We also loved that the shell felt buttery-smooth and likened it to a bathing suit. The twin, full/queen, and king sizes are offered in four reversible colors. The throw size comes in two different patterns made for kids. We weren’t fans of the bright blue swatch we tested since we thought it was difficult to style. We appreciated that this comforter is machine washable and it dried quickly. However, after washing, some of the fill bunched along the edges, which may be concerning for long term use.

At first, we weren’t sure how we felt about the texture of the Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter. Made of a nylon/spandex blend, the outer material feels buttery soft but also slightly slinky, similar to suede or velvet. But after using this comforter in the lab and at home for two months, we were convinced it’s one of the best comforters to consider. In a home setting, this comforter did a great job at keeping us cool on colder nights, and we assumed it would be the perfect summer blanket. But as the seasons changed, we still found ourselves reaching for this versatile comforter. Even on cold nights, it helps keep us warm without resulting in overheating. It has a soft feel with a little bit of stretch, but it doesn’t pull and feels wonderfully smooth and cool to the touch. In fact, before long, we started nicknaming this comforter “the Cucumber,” since the outer material remains surprisingly crisp, even on warm nights. If you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll appreciate how soft and breathable it feels, as well as the fact that it doesn’t cause you to sweat. Though this is a relatively flat-looking comforter, it still feels fluffy and pillowy when you snuggle up in it. This may be because it has lightweight filling and the slick outer surface is relatively thin. It drapes beautifully, doesn’t feel restricting or overly heavy, and feels relatively moisture-wicking. We did note there was a slightly slinky feeling to it, but we didn’t think it was a dealbreaker.

The brand calls the fibers within the comforter “three times cooler than cotton,” which has yet to be tested and feels like a bold claim, but one consumer tester described the comforter as feeling “icy.” I like that it’s a thinner material, which helps it feel less insulating.

Rest Evercool Comforters: With a 4.8-star rating and thousands of glowing customer reviews, it makes sense why people are coveting this comforter. The hype lies in its lab-tested, Evercool performance fabric, which absorbs and transfers heat 10-times faster than cotton (per the brand). The fabric is constructed with a fully drawn yarn technique that mimics silk—making it smooth and soft to the touch—and the ultra-thin fibers produce a non-stick sleeping environment that’ll keep you dry all night long. “The fabric is like nothing I've ever felt before—it’s like taking a dip in a silky, cooling pool,” PureWow Assistant Editor Delia Curtis says. “Somehow, it combines a satiny feel with the stretch of a jersey knit—all without heat-trapping properties. It’s buttery soft and moisture-wicking at the same time.” Speaking of moisture-wicking properties: “It’s definitely helped with night sweats. I slept most nights with the window open, and this comforter only made me sweat on the nights I forgot to open the window. … The fabric dries very quickly—super absorbent—and allows me to fall right back to sleep if I do end up sweating.” As for durability? “I washed it on a normal cycle in cool water with the Dedcool X OUAI Melrose Place detergent and dried on a normal cycle…any major stains that were there before came right out,” Curtis adds.

Hot sleepers are in for a treat with our Best Overall pick, the Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter. We nicknamed it “The Cucumber” because its coolness was simply unforgettable. The comforter is made from fine yarn fibers, which the brand says is 90 times thinner than human hair strands. The result? Not only did we find it to be moisture-wicking, but the exterior was also extremely cool and remained that way for a long time. The construction is solid: All seams were completely enclosed and sturdy. Even when we attempted to pick at them, they remained intact. Also, because the fill is tightly sewn in, it did not shift around when we tossed and turned during testing. It made no noise when we moved it around, either. While the comforter looks quite flat, the surface felt buttery-smooth and a little velvety. It’s an ideal blanket for those who have pets because pet hair won’t stick to it and can be easily removed. When it’s time to clean, it can be machine-washed and dried in the dryer. We observed that it dried quickly and was able to do it in one cycle. After two months of use, there were no changes in color or loose strings. The comforter maintained its refreshing feel, keeping us comfortably warm yet cooling us when we got too hot. To us, the exterior felt slick like a swimsuit, which isn’t surprising since it’s a mix of spandex and nylon. This comforter’s fill consists of Tencel and sorona fibers (a plant-based polymer), which is non-toxic and safe for those with sensitive skin. Because the material feels different from the other comforters on our list, we suggest trying it out to see if the texture is right for you. But for the price and quality, we think it’s worth it.

The 17 Best Products For Hot Sleepers, From Accessories To Bedding
My husband and son—both hot sleepers—spend a fair amount of time fighting over this comforter. It’s easy to understand why, too: it’s thin but still soft, silky smooth and strikingly cool to the touch. Made with Evercool fabric (a nylon and spandex blend) and a breathable down alternative fill, I think it’s significantly cooler and more moisture-wicking than other cool materials like cotton and bamboo. Another bonus? It’s machine-washable without all the fuss. Since it’s slim, it fits easily in a standard-sized washer. After several washes, our Evercool comforter is still holding up extremely well.

The Best Couples Gifts For Halving Your Shopping List, According To R29 Editors
"This isn’t based on what people like to refer to as 'science' or 'fact,' but I’m almost positive that 99% of fights between couples could be stopped in their tracks if everyone was getting decent sleep — and that’s especially true for anyone whose partner tends to run warm. I’m going to be giving some of my closer couples’ friends this Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter this holiday season to do my part to stop bedtime arguments between people I love and care about in their tracks. Sure, it’s a bit pricey but hey, it’s still way cheaper than a divorce." — Sarah Crow, Affiliate Director

20 Products To Help You Avoid Waking Up In A Pool Of Your Own Sweat This Summer
Promising reviews: "I have no idea how this works, but it does! It’s actually cool to the touch! I am always hot and don’t sleep well because of it. This blanket is a game changer!" —Rhonda M. "Ever since I moved to south Florida, I have been unable to use any sort of comforter or duvet because I am such a hot sleeper. In fact I haven’t used anything besides a top sheet in what feels like ages. This comforter has completely changed that for me. It feels so fantastic against the skin, and my only regret is that I didn’t purchase one when I first saw the ad last year. If you sleep warm, this is 100% the best thing for your bed." —Steven S.
