Browse Epitex's complete range of cooling bedding solutions — designed specifically for Malaysia's hot, humid climate where overnight temperatures rarely drop below 26°C. Our cooling collection spans four distinct technologies: natural bamboo viscose fibres that wick moisture 3× faster than cotton, TENCEL™ lyocell with its proven moisture management and antibacterial properties, Softicool cooling knitted fabric for an instant cool-to-touch sensation.
Cooling bedding can reduce perceived skin temperature by 2–4°C compared to standard polyester — a meaningful difference that helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake up more refreshed. All Epitex cooling products are independently tested and do not rely on chemical cooling finishes that degrade with washing — performance is built into the fibre or fabric structure itself.

View full detailsNot all cooling bedding works the same way, and understanding the mechanism helps you choose the right option. Natural cooling fibres (bamboo, TENCEL™) work primarily through moisture management — they wick perspiration away from the skin and allow it to evaporate quickly, producing a cooling effect through evaporative cooling. This is most effective in humid conditions where sweating occurs, and the performance is inherent to the fibre with no degradation over time.
Thermal-conductivity cooling (Softicool) works differently — high-conductivity fibres draw heat directly from the skin surface on contact, regardless of whether perspiration is present. This produces an immediate cool sensation that is particularly effective for those who radiate heat during sleep. For maximum cooling, combine a thermal-conductivity cooling blanket (Softicool) with moisture-wicking natural fibre sheets (bamboo or TENCEL™) — the two mechanisms complement each other, addressing both heat radiation and perspiration simultaneously.
For Malaysia's specific combination of heat and humidity, the most effective cooling bedding combines two mechanisms: natural moisture-wicking fibres at the sheet layer (bamboo or TENCEL™) plus a thermal-conductivity cooling blanket (Softicool). This addresses both the primary causes of sleep discomfort in tropical conditions — retained body heat and perspiration accumulation. If choosing a single product, bamboo bed sheets offer the best overall cooling performance across the widest range of sleeping conditions.
There are two main cooling mechanisms in bedding. Evaporative cooling (bamboo, TENCEL™): natural fibres wick perspiration away from the skin surface and release it as water vapour — the evaporation process removes latent heat from the skin, lowering its temperature. This is most effective when you perspire. Thermal conduction cooling (Softicool): high-conductivity synthetic fibres draw heat directly from the skin surface on contact — similar to how metal feels colder than wood at room temperature. This works immediately on contact, regardless of perspiration. Combining both mechanisms addresses all causes of thermal discomfort during sleep.
Yes — for all Epitex cooling products, the cooling effect is built into due to the fibre structure and material characteristics rather than applied as a surface treatment, and is therefore permanent. Bamboo and TENCEL™'s moisture-wicking properties are inherent to their fibre structure and do not wash out. Softicool's thermal conductivity is a molecular property of the Richcel/Sorona® due to the cooling nature of the synthetic fibres — it does not diminish with washing. This contrasts with many budget 'cooling' products that apply a cooling chemical finish to standard polyester fabric, which loses its effectiveness within 20–30 washes.
Yes — Softicool's Richcel/Sorona® fibre works through thermal conduction rather than evaporative cooling, meaning it draws heat away from the skin on contact regardless of ambient temperature or whether you are perspiring. In a room without air conditioning at 27–30°C, a Softicool sheet or blanket will reduce perceived skin temperature by 2–4°C compared to standard polyester bedding. While no fabric replaces the ambient effect of air conditioning, Softicool provides a meaningful and immediate improvement in comfort for those sleeping in warm, non-air-conditioned environments across Malaysia.
Cooling bed sheets significantly improve thermal comfort but do not replace air conditioning in extreme heat. At ambient temperatures above 32°C, even the most effective cooling bedding cannot fully compensate for the heat load. However, cooling sheets can allow you to raise your air conditioning setpoint by 2–3°C (from 20°C to 22–23°C) while maintaining the same sleep comfort — reducing energy consumption and electricity bills meaningfully. For those sleeping without air conditioning, cooling sheets can make the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable sleep in a 27–29°C room.
Yes — bamboo and TENCEL™ cooling sheets are suitable for children of all ages and are particularly recommended for infant and toddler bedding due to their hypoallergenic properties and OEKO-TEX certification. Softicool products are suitable for older children and adults. Note that weighted blankets (a separate category) are not recommended for children under 2 years. For infants, the primary consideration is breathability and hypoallergenicity — bamboo fitted sheets and pillowcases are an excellent choice for cots and toddler beds.
Care requirements vary by material. Bamboo and TENCEL™: gentle 30°C cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, low heat or line dry. Softicool (Richcel/Sorona®): gentle to normal 30°C or no temperature cycle, standard detergent, low-to-medium tumble dry or line dry. All cooling sheets: avoid fabric softener — it coats fibres and reduces both moisture-wicking and thermal conductivity performance. Do not iron at high heat on Softicool or Cryocool products. Following care label instructions ensures the cooling performance and fibre integrity are maintained for the full product lifespan.
All Epitex cooling bed sheet collections are available in the four standard Malaysian bed sizes: Single (91×190cm), Super Single (107×190cm), Queen (152×190cm) and King (183×190cm). Sets typically include a fitted sheet and two standard pillowcases. Bolster cases are available separately in matching materials. The full cooling bedding range is available at my.epitexhome.com with free delivery across Malaysia.
