And it looks like customers are impressed with the product, as one wrote on the website: “Keeps me really cool at night.
“I used to wake up 2-4 times a night because I was too hot – now I don’t wake up. It’s really helping now the weather is getting hotter too.”
As well as investing in a matress cooler, there are plenty of other handy tips which will keep you cool in the sweltering weather this week.
Experts advise that wearing cotton pyjamas is actually better than sleeping naked because this will allow your skin to breathe and will soak up sweat.
You can also cool yourself down before bed with a fan and even spray your sheets with cold water before you climb into the sheets.
Having a cold shower before bed will also significantly lower your body temperature, while wetting your hair, feet and back of the neck will also cool you down.
It’s also advised that you switch off all electrical devices that emit heat so that means unplugging laptops, phone chargers and anything else you’ve got powered up.
