How To Prepare Your Sleep Sanctuary for the Summer Nights

With the days growing longer and the temperatures starting to climb, summer nights can bring a challenge to your sleep routine. The humid nights can easily disrupt your slumber, which can cause restless nights. This is why preparing your bedroom is key. It is more than just a comfort upgrade; it’s essentially for the perfect nights sleep. So, is your space ready to keep you cool, calm, and cosy all season long?

Choose a Cooler Duvet

One simple change that can make a big difference to your summer sleep is switching to a lighter duvet. A low tog-rated option helps to keep things cool and breathable, preventing you from overheating during warmer nights. Our 4.5 Tog Soft Hollowfibre Duvet is designed with summer in mind, offering just the right levels of warmth. It has a light, airy feel and is finished with a smooth cotton cover that’s gentle on the skin.

Upgrade Your Mattress

Choosing a breathable mattress can make a big difference to your sleep too. By choosing one that regulates temperature, this can help prevent sweats and restlessness. Our Every Night Ultra Cool Memory Mattress features a cooling gel layer, which helps create a haven of comfort by dissipating warmth. The right mattress is key to creating a refreshing sleep environment all summer long.

Keep Your Bedroom Cool

Other small changes to your sleep space can also help beat those summer nights. Aside from switching to lighter duvets and breathable bedding, consider altering your room’s environment. Blackout curtains are great for blocking out the sunlight during the day, which can prevent heat build up. In the evening, an open window can help airflow with the cooler air circulating your room. Simple changes can create a comfortable, cooler place to sleep.

Ensure Your Bedroom Is Dark

The longer days mean more daylight hours. But too much light can disrupt your sleep, especially in those bright evenings. To help your body wind down naturally, it is essential to keep your bedroom as dark as possible. Use blackout curtains or shades to help eliminate light in your room. If this is difficult to achieve, consider an eye mask for total darkness. Dark signals to our brain that it is time for rest, which will help you be less restless, fall asleep quicker and enjoy a deeper, more restful sleep.
