@Tigriss, I get night sweats too, but these sheets 'breathe' and absorb nicely, so they are comfortable all year-round, in my opinion.  I will say that I don't use the pillowcases on these, only because when I do get night sweats, my biggest challenge is the pillow getting so miserably hot.  It probably has to do with my using the MyPillow, which has that type of condensed foam that retains heat too efficiently.  But I have a hard time finding a pillow that doesn't hurt my arthritic neck, so I have to deal with some challenges, whether I want to or not.  Otherwise, these are so wonderfully soft & cozy without being too warm, & I don't hesistate to recommend them to other women dealing with night sweats.  They are luxuriously soft, & lovely sheets!  Oh--and you know how you have that dilemma where you don't want to fall asleep with too many covers on, because you *know* you will eventually get the night sweat & be absolutely miserable?  One thing I really love about these sheets is, just one light-weight sheet over the top of me is usually enough to keep me insulated from the cold, yet not too warm.  I tell ya, it is the best solution I have found for that dilemma.

Thanks, but I love tons of weighty covers, usually old, homemade quilts and now one Dennis Bassco faux fur quilt that is super wonderful and heavy. I know, crazy, but right now it is folded over the foot of my bed since we had two nights in the upper 30s/40s, with the rest in the upper 50s, so still too warm to even bother turning on the heat, at least for me. Some have already started up the fire places. I tend to have my ceiling fans running all year never knowing when I will go from freezing cold to super hot. I dress in layers around the house so I can take off or put on as needed, this includes socks and my robe. There is something about having hot feet that makes the rest of me hot, so house socks are usually the first to go.

Thanks for the advice on the fleece sheets, but they will be too warm, though my mother would love them.

I am interested in the My Pillow, but have tried two other chipped foam pillows and found them both far to full of fill to be used for anything but under my knees to prop my feet up or as back rest pillows. How thick is the standard fill pillow? I have one of those gel things on my pillow to keep me cooler and still have to flip it during the night if I wake is a sweat. It does help, but will probably be removed in the winter or kept on the bottom of the pillow instead of the top as it is now.

I don't and even use a flat sheet as a light blanket in the summer.  I love my polarfleece sheets; like sleeping in a soft cotton ball.

@Tigriss, I wish the MyPillow didn't get so hot because of the foam, but it really does, & is a miserable experience for those of us who are sensitive to this type of thing.  The directions say to use 100% cotton pillowcases *only*, which I do...but it still isn't enough, unfortunately.  Believe me, I'm not being mean or hypercritical here, because I truly wish this product worked for me...but the foam just generates too much heat, and I wake up *wide awake* at 3 a.m., with a drenched head, due to the heat generated by the MyPillow.  I hope they can find a remedy for this, because the arthritis in my neck really needs this type of pillow, which brings a different type of relief due to the support it gives.  But when I wake up 100% at 3 a.m. due to night sweats, it isn't something I can wholeheartedly recommend to other women going through a similar challenge.

@Tigriss, I had to smile at your post, because of your comment about the weighty covers.  I like that security feeling too, especially after some of the horror movies I've seen over the years, which is what made me laugh...even at my advanced age, I still don't feel 'safe' hanging my bare feet over the edge of the bed (Boogieman!), or letting my hand hang over the side of the bed.  Isn't that silly?!  But I saw this scary movie with I think Kim Novak many years ago, where these gremlin-like creatures came & dragged people away to a scary place to become 'one of them', if their feet or hands were hanging over the side of the bed.  Here I am many decades later, old enough to know better, but still refusing to hang my bare feet or hands over the side of the bed.  Ok, I'm embarrassed to admit that now...but I bet I get at least one heart on this, LOL!

I'm post-meno, and still have an occasional hot flash.  I don't find these sheets to be an issue.  I had to throw my regular cotton sheets off when I had a hot flash too.

I LOVE the Malden Mills fleece sheets.  Better than any other brand I've purchased.  So cozy.  They also allow us to turn our thermostat down at night.  I'm not the kind of person that can use them year round, however.  So, I'm not sure you would like them in southern Georgia.  However, if you normally use a quilt or blanket on your bed, you might enjoy them, and just use them without a quilt or blanket.

SerenityNowMyndi, Thanks for the feedback on the My Pillow. The other two I have were hot and too full of fill. THey are now body pillows, which can even be too hot. I'll keep looking for the perfect pillow.
I do have an underquilt/mattress pad by Cuddle Ewe, which is 100% wool with a 100% cotton cover. I"ll save up and buy their pillow. I got a free, smaller one with my purchase, which is fine when I'm sleeping on my back, but not when I'm on my side. It doesn't retain heat like you would think wool does. Actually it runs about the same as the fancy My PIllow, so it isn't really all that different in cost.
