If you struggle to sleep through the heat, but can't get your hands on an air conditioner, then this £25 bedroom upgrade could be the answer.
While it won't lower the temperature of your room, a mattress protector can help tackle one of the biggest downsides of hot weather by stopping sweat from soaking directly into your mattress and helping your bed stay fresher night after night.
MattressNextDay's Coolflex® Waterproof Mattress Protector is currently on sale for just £25 for a double, with a king available for just £29. Exclusively available at MattressNextDay, it's earned an impressive 4.7/5 customer rating.
The timing couldn't be better. Research by the National Bed Federation, more than half of Brits (51%) don't use a mattress protector. Meanwhile, studies suggest the average person sheds up to 1.6 billion dead skin cells and around 500ml of sweat into their bed every night, highlighting just how much ends up in an unprotected mattress over time.
Martin Seeley, CEO at MattressNextDay, explains: "People wash their sheets every week, but rarely think about what's soaking into the mattress underneath. During hot weather, every sweaty night leaves moisture and body oils trapped inside the mattress, where they can't simply be washed away.
“A mattress protector is one of the easiest ways to stop that happening and can help extend the life of what is often one of the most expensive items in the bedroom."
Why the Coolflex® Waterproof Mattress Protector is ideal for hot weather:
Waterproof layer helps protect your mattress from sweat, spills and accidents.
Soft, breathable surface that won't change the feel of your mattress.
Completely rustle-free, so there's no crinkly plastic noise while you sleep.
Antibacterial silver chloride treatment helps reduce odours and keep the protector fresher for longer, remaining effective for up to 50 washes.
Machine washable at 60°C for an easy, hygienic refresh after hot, sweaty nights.
Deep 33cm fitted skirt keeps the protector securely in place throughout the night.
