How to layer a bed for summer

Considering how much the temperature varies through a year, wouldn’t it be odd to use the same bedding year around? Instead, get the bed ready for summer by changing to cooling pillows and mattress protectors, and duvet covers and pillowcases in materials that absorb moisture and feel cool against the skin.

Changing the bedding to lighter colours and summery patterns makes every morning a brighter one, and every evening a lovely summer dream.

Seriously cool

Llet’s get serious about the cooling effect. The KLUBBSPORRE ergonomic pillow has a cushioning foam on one side and a cooling gel on the other. That gel gives you a cool and soothing sleep surface. The pillow has small holes in the core, so air can circulate and wick away moisture.

Perhaps a different mattress protector will provide that extra softness you long for?
