Hot sleepers make one change to bedroom for ‘freshest and coolest sleep in decades’

One shopper said: “I’m a very hot sleeper, so the cool linen is perfect for me – the difference is startling.”

With temperatures soaring above 30°C across much of the UK this week, many people have spent nights tossing, turning, and repeatedly flipping over to the cool side of the pillow. While fans and open windows can offer some relief, there’s one switch shoppers can make for a ‘startling’ difference.

For those finding it impossible to stay comfortable overnight, a cooling pillowcase and duvet cover set could be the solution. Simba has reduced its luxurious Cool Linen Bedding Set by 20%, making now a great time to invest before the next heatwave.

The breathable bedding set, which includes a duvet cover and matching pillowcase pair, is designed specifically with hot sleepers in mind. A double set has dropped from £219 to £175.20, while king and super king sizes are also included in the sale.

Unlike traditional linen, which can be scratchy, Simba’s bedding combines natural linen fibres with moisture-wicking Tencel, designed to regulate temperature while feeling noticeably softer against the skin. Another bonus? It doesn’t need ironing, as the lightly textured finish is designed to look effortlessly chic straight from the wash.

Available in seven neutral and soft shades, including Dusty Rose, Pure White, Cloud Grey and Soft Oat, it’ll suit almost any bedroom aesthetic while helping create a cooler sleep environment during the hottest nights of the year. And for those who need relief pronto, there’s free next-day delivery available for those who order before 1pm.

For those seeking something a little more affordable, the Stay Cool Lyocell Rich Bedding Set is priced between £45 – £75 at Marks and Spencer. Available in 11 colours, it’s made with Stay Cool technology, helping to wick moisture away for a cooler night’s sleep.

At Dunelm, the Cotton Muslin Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set has earned a 3.8-star rating. Priced between £34 – £64, the set comes in six colours and is made from 100% cotton.

Back at Simba, though, shoppers who have already made the switch say the Cool Linen set has transformed the way they sleep. One said: “I’m a very hot sleeper, so the cool linen is perfect for me. I had 100% cotton sheets previously (not SIMBA), and the difference is startling. Combined with the SIMBA duvet, I am having the freshest and coolest sleep for decades.”

Another said: “I have had my eye on linen bedsheets for a while and always put off with the price. They are AMAZING – super comfortable, durable and can tell they are really great quality. Both my husband and myself feel so refreshed each morning since having them.”

A third mentioned the price does feel on the high side, but overall was happy with their purchase. They wrote: “I have found these pillowcases to be very good quality and I definitely feel they are making me cooler at night. My wife really likes the colour as well which is a bonus. One slight down point is the price ,I feel these are a little overpriced, but I am still glad I bought them and would definitely recommend them to others.”

For further cooling upgrades, the Hybrid Pillow, which also incorporates cooling Stratos technology, has been reduced to £87.20 from £109. The pillow contains foam cubes (called Nanocubes by Simba) that can be inserted or removed to tailor its height and firmness. Its outer layer also features ‘cool-touch’ technology and mesh panels to enhance air circulation, delivering a more comfortable, perspiration-free slumber.

For those prepared to splash out a bit more, Simba’s Hybrid Mattress is also engineered to help sleepers stay cool throughout the night. Currently reduced by 20%, a double is priced at £719.20, down from £899, while a king-size is £799.20, down from £999. It boasts a ‘supportive’ five-layer construction, incorporating a breathable cover and graphite-infused Simbatex foam designed to regulate temperature during sleep.

If sleepless summer nights are becoming a regular occurrence, Simba’s Cool Linen bedding set could be just the ticket to a better night’s kip.
