Experts at Mattress Online shared the most effective tips to cool down a room and sleep better during a heatwave.
Keep a 50p spray bottle of water next to the bed
Experts at Mattress Online explained: “A small water-filled bottle of water can be the perfect solution for a humid night in bed.
“Keep a spray bottle next to your bed for fast, refreshing relief whenever you feel too hot.
“A couple of sprays across your face, or even on your pillow, should do the trick.
“You can purchase a spray bottle for 50p in most bargain stores, then fill it up with water and keep in the fridge before bed for an extra cooling effect.”

Close the curtains but open the windows
The experts also recommended opening the windows but keeping the bedroom curtains closed in the morning.
They explained: “The curtains will act as a barrier, preventing the hot sun from shining in and heating up the room, and open the window to let in any chance of a breeze.
“This will hopefully leave your bedroom slightly cooler come bedtime.”
Rub an ice cube across your wrists
Another trick to staying cool is to rub an ice cube on the pulse points.

Swap your sheets for bamboo bedding
Bamboo is a breathable and moisture-wicking material, making it one of the best options during a heatwave.
Bamboo fabrics are also naturally hypoallergenic, which can help reduce allergy symptoms that normally come hand in hand with hot weather.
“Avoid cotton bedding at all costs, as it’s not moisture-wicking and can make you feel sweatier,” the expert advised.
Steve Adams, CEO at Mattress Online, also recommended taking the duvet out of the cover and changing the sheets twice a week during the summer months to avoid getting into a dirty and potentially damp bed at night.
“Always wash your bedding at 60°C or higher, as this is the temperature which kills bacteria,” he said.
