Looking for bedding that breaths? Here are the lightweight sets we’re wrapping up in this summer.
It’s summer, and we all know what that means: barbecues, picnics, beer gardens, sun dresses and lidos. But while we all love a warm and sunny summer day, we can’t say the same about hot, sticky summer nights. After all, there’s nothing quite so frustrating as trying to get to sleep in the summer, as you kick off your covers while your pitiful fan blows hot, humid air in circles around your room.
Back in 2018, up to half of the population struggled to sleep during a particularly bad heatwave. On average, most of us lose roughly 30 minutes of sleep every night when it’s hot.
There are several tactics you can use to improve your sleep during the summer – and one of the most effective methods is simply adjusting your bedding: your sheets and duvet should feel light and as breathable as air. On that note, we’ve picked out a range of bedding options that will make sleeping easy through any heatwave.
