By now you know that it's up to you to guarantee a good night's rest. That's why you avoid staying up late to binge Netflix — so that you can wake up bright-eyed the next morning. But along with our own sleeping habits, the bedding that we choose — pillows, sheets, and duvet comforters — make a huge difference in how we catch our zzz's. Whether you're struggling to stay cool while you clock your eight hours or you feel sad every time you look at your bland, boring bed, these top bedding picks will help you combat whatever issues you're facing head-on.

Sleep issue: You get sweaty throughout the night
Bedding fix: Snuggle up in sheets that effectively transfer body heat and keep your body cool.

Why it's effective: 100 percent bamboo sheets, in particular, are breathable, moisture-wicking, and extremely lightweight. With these three qualities, bamboo sheets — like this set from My Sheets Rock — reduce humidity, minimize B.O., and best of all, keep your body temperature under control.

To buy: My Sheets Rock The Regulator, $129-$169

Sleep issue: You want to be comfy in the warm summer months
Bedding fix: Go for a breathable, lightweight comforter.

Why it's effective: Fibers derived from completely natural sources (think wood and plants) are not only more sustainable, but they also do a better job at wicking away moisture. That means you won't be cuddling up in a comfortable drenched in your own sweat. The brand-new Breeze comforter from Buffy is made with 100 percent eucalyptus, which makes it ultra-breathable and good at regulating body temperatures.

Sleep issue: Your sheets make you itchy (and just plain uncomfortable)
Bedding fix: Opt for hypoallergenic sheets that keep your body cool.

Why it's effective: If there's one place you should be comfortable, it's your bed. Sustainable sheet options, like this bamboo Lyocell set, are antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, which means they're likely to cause fewer allergic reactions and get rid of the bad stuff — er, bacteria. On the plus side, these sheets also stay nice and cool to stimulate melatonin production, resulting in a night of quality sleep.

To buy: Ettitude Bamboo Lyocell Sheet Set, $138-$198

Sleep issue: You can't decide on how much neck support you need
Bedding fix: Get the best of both worlds with a dual-comfort pillow.

Why it's effective: When it comes to sleep, you shouldn't have to compromise on comfort. Give your head, neck, and shoulders the support they need with this Lands' End Dual Comfort Pillow, which has two sides: One with cooling memory foam and another with a cushioned polyester fill. Simply flip the pillow from one side to the other depending on your nightly needs.

To buy: Lands' End Dual Comfort Pillow, $79.95
