Brooklyn experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and cold, damp winters. Seasonal temperature variations are more pronounced than coastal California, so residents adjust their bedding more dramatically throughout the year. Residents across Brooklyn, from Bushwick and Bay Ridge to Crown Heights and Cobble Hill, shift their bedding seasonally for comfort.
Important Note on Blanket Warmth:
Blanket warmth is subjective and depends on your personal comfort, your home's insulation, and how warm or cool you feel while sleeping. In the U.S., warmth is often measured by weight (GSM), thermal rating (TOG), or a scale of 1–7 (with 1 being the lightest and 7 being the warmest).
