Mattress pad – embrace or beat the chill

A cooling mattress pad can improve your sleep quality by keeping you comfortably cool throughout the night. The NÄSTABERG mattress pad features one side with a cooling layer that actively cools you down for the first 20 minutes as you drift off to sleep. The material in the cover, also utilised in sportswear, helps to wick away heat, maintaining a cool temperature.

Mattress protectors – there are two sides to this story

Are you a hot or cold sleeper? Or perhaps both? A mattress protector with a cooling effect might become your new best friend. You’ll enjoy a cool, comfortable sleep as the specially woven nylon fibres transport heat away. As an added bonus, it protects your mattress from stains and dirt, and prolongs its lifespan.

Cooling pads – your night-time heatwave hack

A cooling pad can be a handy tool during those extra hot nights. Wrap it around your pillow or place it on your mattress for an instant cooling sensation that helps keep your body temperature under control for a better night’s sleep. For an extra cooling boost, put it in it in the freezer before use.

Bed Linen – embrace nature for soothing sleep

To achieve quality sleep as a hot sleeper, consider materials that promote better air circulation, resulting in a cooler sleep surface. Natural fibres like cotton and lyocell aren’t just soft to the touch, they excel in temperature regulation, wicking away moisture, keeping you dry all night.
