Making one bedroom change will help you sleep during heatwave – but nobody talks about it

We've got you covered during the heatwave

Here are a bunch of things you can do to stay cool

While temperatures of 30C can feel breezy and pleasant in the holiday hotspots like Spain and Portugal, in the UK it can feel sticky and humid.

But how can you stay cooler during these difficult times ahead?

The experts have chimed in with six practical tips.

The tips you should take into consideration are simple, but rather effective:

• You should encourage air flow by letting in cool air
• During the day, make sure to keep warmer air out
• To enhance the breeze, simply use a fan
• You should limit hot activities
• You should cool yourself down
• You should find an alternative space

So basically, you have quite a few options where, all of which are doable.

For example, to release trapped warm air and allow in cooler air, you should simply open windows on opposite sides of the house, as this encourages air flow.

Meanwhile, in the heat of the day, especially on the side of your home where the sun is shining, it is best to keep your windows shut and blinds or curtains closed.

And then the fans come in.

As they’re a relatively cheap and an energy efficient way to keep air moving while helping you stay cool, fans are quite effective.

According to Prof Mike Tipton of the University of Portsmouth, it is important to understand how the body works.

“Fanning the face improves thermal comfort most, but fanning the whole body helps lower body temperature more”, he says.

Don't forget about the showers too, but remember not to go too cold on them.

Experts say that lukewarm showers can help to cool your body temperature, saving both money and energy.

However, Prof Tipton warns not to go too cold: “The trick is to try and get the skin as cool as possible whilst maintaining maximum blood flow to it.”

Buildings that have air conditioning such as libraries, leisure centres and shopping centres can also provide relief if your home is too hot.

One thing you shouldn't do though, is trying to keep cool in stationary cars with air conditioning.

That's because you risk receiving a hefty fine if you're caught doing it.

An overlooked step that is quite underrated - which can actually make a huge difference

One underrated step which many in fact overlook is buying a cooling mattress topper.

That's actually essential these days, if you ask us.

For example, when it comes cooling things down, the Simba Sleep products will guarantee you get a great night’s sleep as the brand has currently rolled out an offer you cannot miss.

And the greatest news is that across selected products, you can save up quite a bit.

Included in the offer are mattresses, pillows and duvets, and what makes Simba Sleep our go-to place for is the fact that it is an award-winning sleep technology company.

Here's how you can sleep much cooler

There is just the right item available for you, if your bedroom feels like a furnace at night.

A cooling mattress topper from sleep technology experts Simba seems like it’s changing lives, so it seems like an offer you shouldn't miss.

Those who wake up drenched in sweat, either at night during sleep or in the morning, say that they sleep “so much better” now that they’re using it.

As shoppers are lauding praise on it, it’s now on sale in the summer reductions at Simba Sleep, and you can get it for a cheaper price.

The Cool Foam Mattress Topper is reduced in price for its double size and is made with Simbatex® foam.

Apparently, it takes just a few minutes for this topper to deliver “cool comfort”, as per the shoppers.

Thanks to the mattress topper’s makeup, you will enjoy breathable support.

According to the brand, “it keeps you cushioned, but its open structure also makes it a dream for hot sleepers – offering the same comfort as memory foam, only with over 5x more airflow. And for an even cooler feel, we’ve infused it with graphite to help move warmth away from your body.”
