Am at the age now where night sweats are common, and this is the best bedding I've found that doesn't add to the overheating! The bedding is very smooth, and as such the pillowcases do gape open - if these had the same openings in the middle at the back like the french linen bedding the pillows would look alot neater when the bed is made. However this is a minor gripe compared to the better sleep and extreme comfort from the lovely soft bedding. I would fully recommend this, and it is suitable all year round
