Summer Bedding Guide: How to Cool Down Your Bedroom

So, how do you cool down your bedroom in the summer months? Start by switching your winter duvet for a lighter-weight summer duvet. Choose a duvet with a lower tog rating: somewhere between 1 tog and 4.5 tog is ideal. Our Comfortably Cool duvets are designed to draw moisture away from your skin. With a pure-cotton cover for softness and clever Climate Control technology, this light duvet regulates your temperature, keeping you cool and comfortable. Alternatively, our Body Sensor 1 tog duvet has a super-soft hollowfibre filling for when the temperature soars.

Choosing the right pillows for warmer weather is a must. Our Fresh and Cool pillows use Hydro Cool technology to help regulate your temperature and are available in firm or medium.

Lighter mornings and evenings can disturb the crucial first and last hours of sleep, and warm your bedroom during the summer months. Blocking out sunlight can help keep your room much cooler, so try blackout blinds or blackout curtains. You'll sleep for longer as a result and the temperature in your bedroom will feel less intense.

The power of scent can help create a feeling of calm in your bedroom so consider a sleep candle or reed diffuser. Make a sleep-inducing pillow spray part of your wind-down routine: mist over pillows and let the blend of botanical oils work its magic. Set yourself up for a great night's sleep with good bedtime habits. Aim to go to bed around the same time every day. Switch off devices a few hours before bed, apply a sleep cream and make time for screen-free relaxing, whether that's doing some gentle stretching or reading a book.
