Temperatures are high in some parts of the UK and many of us are experiencing the sleepless nights extreme heat can bring. To help, the experts at Mattress Online have put together seven unique tips to help you sleep better during a heatwave - with one 50p trick that anyone can do.
Steve Adams, CEO at Mattress Online said: “Heat can not only affect the amount of sleep we get, but also the quality of our sleep, so it’s important to consider ways we can combat this when temperatures begin to rise. Hot weather can also cause a minefield of germs lurking in your bedding, since you sweat a lot more on summer nights. This results in a build-up of bacteria and skin cells, plus all the other germs which get into your bed, like dust mites, pollen and pet hair.
During the summer months, change your sheets twice a week 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.”
