When my partner James and I started designing the Sleeping Dove Comforter, we knew we wanted the fabric to feel amazing to the touch and against your body. We also knew that nothing evokes the idea of fresh and clean the way cotton does. It’s a fabric we remember from childhood—softness, durability, familiarity. That’s why using 100% cotton was one of the very first decisions we made.
Soft, Natural, and Gets Better Over Time
There’s something timeless about cotton bedding. It’s soft without being clingy, cozy without being heavy. And the best part? It gets even better with use. Every wash, every night’s sleep helps break in the cotton fibers, giving your comforter a relaxed, familiar softness that only improves over time. We wanted this comforter to feel like something you could keep for years. That’s why we chose a material that gets softer, not stiffer, with age.
It’s Breathability You Can Feel
Cotton is naturally breathable. Unlike synthetic fabrics or high-tech blends that trap heat or rely on coatings, cotton allows air to flow through the fabric. That means less sweating, less tossing, and more steady comfort throughout the night. If you’re a hot sleeper or someone dealing with night sweats, a breathable comforter can make a real difference. But we also know that during intense life stages—like pregnancy, menopause, or postpartum—or when you’re sharing a bed with someone who runs warm, even breathable materials sometimes need a little extra help. But we also know that during intense life stages, like pregnancy, menopause, etc., where overheating exacerbates, even breathable materials sometimes need a little help. That’s why we designed the Sleeping Dove Comforter with cotton as the foundation and added our signature cooling windows. So when your body needs extra relief, you can open a window to cool off without losing that soft, natural cotton feel. And it’s not just the outer shell. Even the internal layers, what touches your body beneath the cooling “windows,” are made of cotton. So whether you’re lying directly under the comforter or adjusting a window to cool off, the feeling is always soft, breathable, and natural. It’s comfort with built-in flexibility for real life.
A Commitment to Simplicity
We made a conscious decision to avoid high-tech fabrics and synthetic performance materials. Not because they don’t have value in activewear or workout gear, but because we believe sleep should feel organic, restorative, and quiet. Our cooling comforter without synthetic materials was born from that belief. Using 100% cotton inside and out aligns with our commitment to simplicity and creating tech-free cooling bedding options.
Why It Matters
When you’re overheating at night or waking up unrested, every detail matters. Choosing cotton wasn’t just a design choice. It was a sleep choice. And it’s one of the reasons our customers tell us it’s the best natural cooling comforter for night sweats and one of the most breathable comforters they’ve ever used. If you’re someone who values natural comfort, eco-friendly materials, and a cooling comforter that works with your body, we truly believe you’ll feel the difference with Sleeping Dove.
