I'm a hot sleeper *and* there's a heatwave – this Silentnight cooling blanket is the only thing that's helped me sleep better

A bedroom with a large window overlooking an apartment building.

As a perimenopausal 46-year-old mum, I struggle with overheating in bed at the best of times, let alone during a heatwave that's seen temperatures in my area reach 30C plus.

Our home doesn’t have air-con, so my kids are often too hot to sleep during the summer, too. As such, staying cool in bed becomes a real battle during hot weather.
