Simba's 'cool touch' duvet sends me to sleep in a heatwave

Sleeping in the heat has interrupted my sleep pattern but Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet has been a game changer for regulating body heat at night
Sleeping in summer has been a struggle for me especially when the heatwave hit and I ended up tossing and turning in bed all night, but that's not the case until I tried Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet, a down-like comfort designed for lightweight warmth.
Available in Single, Double, King and Super King with prices starting from £129, the Hybrid Duvet is a 4.5 Tog bedding that features innovative Stratos tech to keep hot sleepers like me to slumber down for a restful sleep. I don't own a cooling fan so the special webbing pattern stitched to the bottom of the duvet is the next best thing that keeps me from oversweating at night.
While 10.5 Tog is generally considered for all-year use but for those who are prone to cold might want to invest in a two-in-one duvet such as Dusk's Feels Like Down Duvet Collection, their All Seasons duvet is comprised of two separate 4.5 and 9 tog duvets, fastened together with buttons. It's retailed at £63 but shoppers can enjoy 20% off with code EXTRA20 at checkout.
I have been sleeping with open windows and legs out of my duvet cover but the traffic noise and night owls on the street have made an impact on my sleep quality. Since I swapped my duvet to Simba's Hybrid Duvet, I've had some of the most peaceful sleeps and it kept my body temperature cool.
The special square stitched Simba Renew Bio Fibres fill prevents any uneven coverage and the fresh cotton cover had me ditching the duvet cover. Having said that, there is a risk of getting stains on the pristine white fabric.

I enjoy using the Simba duvet however, my brother is not a big fan as he finds it "too cold". He said: "It's nice to sleep in it but after a few hours, I felt cold and had to grab a fleece throw instead. It's too lightweight and I like to sleep with a weighted blanket."
While some customers find it pricey but for me, it saved me from buying a cooling fan, which could cost £100 extra. One shopper added: "A wonderful duvet, I cannot recommend it more. Just like a feather on top of you, and seems very temperature regulating."
Another shared: "Warm yet light and regulates temperature so well. We are using the duvet now when we would have changed to a low tog summer duvet to keep cool. It's not immediately obvious which is the top and bottom side so adding a label which states top and underside would be helpful."

I tried Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet and it kept me cool without a fan

Luxury bedding essentials brand Simba has launched its Summer Hybrid Duvet, a down-like duvet designed for lightweight warmth, and I was one of the first to try it out Sleeping during the summer has always been a challenge for me, particularly when the heatwave struck and I found myself restlessly tossing and turning all night. However, this changed when I tried Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet, a down-like comforter designed for lightweight warmth. The Hybrid Duvet is available in Single, Double, King and Super King sizes, with prices starting from £129. This 4.5 Tog bedding features innovative Stratos technology, which helps hot sleepers like me to settle down for a restful sleep. As I don't own a cooling fan, the special webbing pattern stitched into the bottom of the duvet serves as an excellent alternative to prevent me from overheating at night. While a 10.5 Tog duvet is generally considered suitable for year-round use, those who are more susceptible to the cold might want to consider investing in a two-in-one duvet such as the Feels Like Down Duvet Collection from Dusk. Their All Seasons duvet consists of two separate 4.5 and 9 tog duvets, which can be fastened together with buttons. A single duvet is priced at £66 while a double one is up for grabs for £77, but shoppers can enjoy a 20% discount with the code EXTRA20 at checkout, reported the Mirror. Previously, I would sleep with open windows and my legs outside the duvet cover, but the noise from traffic and late night pub-goers impacted my sleep quality. Since switching to Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet, I've experienced some of the most peaceful sleeps, and I slept like a log. The innovative Simba Renew Bio Fibres fill is a game-changer with its special square stitch design ensuring even coverage, and the fresh cotton cover is so comfortable that it enticed me to forgo the duvet cover. Of course, that means there will be no "breakfast in bed" to avoid catching stains on the white fabric. However, consumers will be relieved to find out the duvet is machine washable and fit in most domestic washing machines with ease, boasting a fast drying time when the weather is cooperative. For those who fancy adding a splash of colour or pattern to their bedding, the Night Lark Gingham Print Coverless Duvet in blue and taupe offers a summery touch. Available in both 4.5 and 10.5 tog options with starting prices at £60, it's an appealing choice for diverse tastes. I'm quite fond of my Simba duvet; however, reactions in my household vary as my brother deems it "too cold" for his preference. He elaborated: "It's nice to sleep in it but after a few hours, I felt cold and had to grab a fleece throw instead. It's too lightweight and I like to sleep with a weighted blanket." While some may view it as expensive, in my experience, it has spared me the cost of acquiring a cooling fan, which could tack on an additional £100. One satisfied customer exclaimed: "A wonderful duvet, I cannot recommend it more. Just like a feather on top of you, and seems very temperature regulating." Another chimed in with praise, noting: "Warm yet light and regulates temperature so well. We are using the duvet now when we would have changed to a low tog summer duvet to keep cool. It's not immediately obvious which is the top and bottom side so adding a label which states top and underside would be helpful."

Dunelm's 'cheerful' gingham summer bedding is so good people are buying more than one set

The lightweight duvet set comes in a range of colours and it's had a price drop too just in time for the warmer weather With summer just around the corner, it's time to ditch the winter bedding and give way to something lighter and brighter in anticipation of some good weather and warmer nights.

And it's been given a price reduction too just ahead of the summer months. ‌ It's currently on sale for £28.80 for the double set instead of it's original price of £36. The king size set is £33.60, reduced from £42 if you have a bigger bed to furnish. ‌ In the colour ochre, it screams sunshine but this stand-out set is also available in black for the monochrome lovers, blush and orchid for a girly theme and a range of blue tones including Ashley and Folkstone. Gingham bed sets are readily available at this time of year as the pattern is the epitome of summer for home interiors. Dusk has the Gabriella Gingham 100% Cotton Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set in the hue natural on sale for £34, down from £75.00. Meanwhile, Next's scalloped edge set is made by furn and comes in two colourways, pink and green. It's on sale for £36 on the Next website. ‌ Dunelm's Portloe set has had rave reviews from happy buyers. Some are so impressed they're buying multiple sets. With 243 reviews on Dunelm's site and a 4.5 out of 5 star rating, customers are thrilled with the quality and the look of the bedding. One said: "I love it. Its really great quality. I already own the green set for my double bed. Ordered the yellow for my spare room. Looks really cheerful. Washes well, no complaints." ‌ While another was planning on buying again. They said: "Amazing quality, feels soft against skin, rich colour, definitely going to buy another set." And another fan raved: "I purchased the green in bedding and matching curtains for our guest room and loved it so much that I purchased the black for our bedroom too. It looks amazing, washes well and is extremely comfortable to sleep in plus gingham is always so welcoming to look at." One customer said: "Gorgeous colours, lovely gingham texture, cotton fresh. I bought the yellow and it's a burst of sunshine!" ‌ And another happy shopper called it the 'gingham set of dreams' and added: "The colour is such a pretty shade of pink, and the fabric is so soft and comfortable. This is budget friendly and to be honest looks like it cost a lot more!" Some customers were disappointed in the fabric, however. One said: "Don't buy this set unless you are a fan of either a crumpled bed or of serious ironing. I fully expected to have to run an iron over it, after washing it, but this was hard work. " And another found the dimensions were too big for her duvet saying: "Duvet cover too big for our duvet which is such a shame. It looks nice but cut too big for a king size duvet so lots of excess cover."
