Hot tips for cool bedding that improve your sleep quality

Choosing the right bedding can make a big difference in your sleep temperature and overall comfort. Lycocell, viscose, and nylon, for example, transport moisture away from your body, helping you maintain a nice, even temperature.

Viscose

When you release excess body heat, viscose fibers absorb the heat and releases it elsewhere so you can maintain a cool and constant body temperature for a pleasant sleep.

Stay chill at home throughout the day​

UAE's heat and humidity make staying at home a challenge. You might even get hot sun all year round especially if your home is an east-west facing unit. Here are some tips to keep you and your home cool in the day.
