How to keep cool at night – the essentials for quality sleep
Are you’re struggling with overheating while sleeping? This guide offers practical tips for keeping your sleeping space perfectly comfortable. Discover how small bedroom updates can make a world of difference to your nighttime routine.
Mattress pad – embrace or beat the chill
A cooling mattress pad can improve your sleep quality by keeping you comfortably cool throughout the night. The NÄSTABERG mattress pad features one side with a cooling layer that actively cools you down for the first 20 minutes as you drift off to sleep. The material in the cover, also utilised in sportswear, helps to wick away heat, maintaining a cool temperature.
Mattress protectors – there are two sides to this story
Are you a hot or cold sleeper? Or perhaps both? A mattress protector with a cooling effect might become your new best friend. You’ll enjoy a cool, comfortable sleep as the specially woven nylon fibres transport heat away. As an added bonus, it protects your mattress from stains and dirt, and prolongs its lifespan.
Cooling pads – your night-time heatwave hack
A cooling pad can be a handy tool during those extra hot nights. Wrap it around your pillow or place it on your mattress for an instant cooling sensation that helps keep your body temperature under control for a better night’s sleep. For an extra cooling boost, put it in it in the freezer before use.
Duvets – all-season comfort for hot sleepers
A lightweight duvet could be the answer to year-round comfort for hot sleepers. Crafted from natural materials with moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties, these duvets promise a smoother, cooler sleep on warm nights. Their design balances lightness and cosiness, adapting easily to cooler temperatures, thus ensuring peaceful, uninterrupted rest all year long.
Ergonomic pillows – keep a cool head on hot nights
Struggling with night sweats? Discover dry and undisturbed sleep with the KVARNVEN ergonomic pillow. The pillow’s ice-blue side brings a refreshing coolness, making hot nights more bearable, while at the same time shaping itself to your head, providing effective stress relief. It’s available in multiple heights, so that side, back, and stomach sleepers all find their perfect match for optimum comfort and support.
Bed Linen – embrace nature for soothing sleep
To achieve quality sleep as a hot sleeper, consider materials that promote better air circulation, resulting in a cooler sleep surface. Natural fibres like cotton and lyocell aren’t just soft to the touch, they excel in temperature regulation, wicking away moisture, keeping you dry all night.
Materials used in our bed linen:
Cotton: A soft, natural material that breathes, absorbs moisture and feels comfortable against your skin. It also becomes softer with every wash.
Rayon: Crafted from regenerated cellulose, often wood pulp, rayon blends a touch of silkiness with practical moisture-wicking properties, for bedding that’s as smart as it is comfortable.
Viscose: Spun from cellulose fibers, viscose brings a delightful silk-like smoothness, coupled with excellent moisture absorption, perfect for keeping your bed fresh and inviting.
Lyocell: Sourced from wood pulp, lyocell fabric excels in keeping you cool and dry, offering a gentle, soothing touch for a restful night’s sleep.
