With warm weather hopefully heading our way this summer, with the sun out during the day and balmy summer nights ahead, it’s a good idea to make sure that you can keep cool and relaxed when staying in on an evening. You don’t want to be leaving windows open or air conditioning on all night, but there are other ways in which you can ensure that you don’t overheat. Being too hot can prevent a good night’s sleep as it can stop you from sleeping deeply, causing you instead to sleep lightly and wake up without that fully refreshed feeling.

We usually spend up to eight hours a night in our beds. Comfort is extremely important, then, when choosing bedding. Satin sheets are considered very sexy and romantic with the added benefit of keeping you cool because they are so light. They’re also the most fashionable sheets on the market and available in a wide range of colours to make any bedroom look luxurious. The main problem with satin is its slippery qualities, and you may find yourself and your pillows sliding around if you happen to shift occasionally in your sleep. Polyester sheets are a bit stiff and uncomfortable, and flannel, although cosy and soft, will keep you far too warm for summer, although it’s a good winter alternative. Percale blend sheets are another option with the soft comfortable feel of cotton but generally cooler. However these sheets do not last very long and have to be regularly replaced.

Pyjamas and sleepwear are other concerns for those warm summer nights. You don’t want to be wearing full length flannel pyjamas in hot weather, so it’s best to opt for short, simple nightdresses or pyjama sets made up of shorts and a vest top. Pure cotton or linen, or a combination of the two, is the best choice of material for keeping you cool. And you don’t have to sacrifice fashion for comfort with the pyjamas available, as many short and top sets are cute and playful, with short nightdresses a sexier, flirtatious option if there’s someone at home you want to impress.

So keep cool this summer with light bedding and pyjamas to help you get a good night’s sleep. Visit the online department store Very.co.uk for a wide range of good quality bedding and any type of nightwear.
