Summer in New Mexico brings those bright, beautiful days—but also warm nights that can make it tough to get a good night’s sleep. Between high-altitude heat, dry air, and sunbaked bedrooms, your space might need a little help staying cool and comfortable through the season.
At American Home, we know a few easy updates can make all the difference. Whether you’re a new homeowner, refreshing your family’s bedrooms, or just trying to sleep better on those warm nights, here’s how to style your bedroom for the best summer rest.
Choose Breathable Bedding
One of the quickest ways to improve sleep comfort is by switching to more breathable fabrics. Lightweight cotton, linen, or bamboo sheets allow better airflow and help wick away moisture on warm nights. Skip heavy synthetics or flannel bedding during the summer months—natural fibers will keep your body cooler and more comfortable. Explore our selection of breathable bedding and sheets to find your perfect summer setup.
Swap Your Comforter for Light Layers
Instead of a thick comforter or duvet, try layering a lightweight blanket or coverlet. This makes it easy to adjust as temperatures change from evening to early morning. A light, quilted blanket or simple cotton coverlet offers comfort without trapping too much heat.
Opt for a Cooler Mattress
If your mattress tends to hold heat, consider a model with cooling features. Many of today’s best mattresses include gel-infused foam, breathable designs, or moisture-wicking covers—all of which help you sleep cooler. Explore our Mattress Center to find the right fit for you. Pair that with a breathable mattress protector to maximize airflow and protect your investment.
Let Your Bedroom Breathe
How you arrange your bedroom affects how cool it feels, too. Make sure there’s space around your bed for air to circulate, and avoid heavy furniture that traps heat. Use light-colored décor and summer-friendly accessories that reflect light and make the room feel fresher.
Control Light and Temperature
Blackout curtains or light-blocking shades help keep the room cooler during the day by reducing solar heat. If you love natural light, use dual-layer treatments—sheers for daylight, heavier panels to block heat when needed. And remember, a ceiling fan or well-placed floor fan makes a huge difference in how your space feels at bedtime.
Make It a Family-Wide Refresh
Parents know kids’ rooms and guest spaces can heat up quickly. Breathable bedding, lighter layers, and a cooler sleep environment help everyone feel more rested and ready to enjoy the season. It’s one of the easiest ways to make your whole house feel summer ready.
