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 move heat away. As a bonus, it protects your mattress from stains and dirt and prolongs its lifespan.

Duvets – all-season comfort for hot sleepers

Sleeping too warm can make it hard to relax. Cool duvets or summer duvets with moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating materials help create a more comfortable sleep, all year round. The GRÄSROTSFLY duvet is made for warm sleepers. Wax-infused viscose fibres help absorb excess heat and keep the temperature more even through the night. The higher the viscose content, the cooler the feel. The BLÅNEPETA duvet feels cool to the touch while still adding a light, cozy layer. Made from smooth lyocell, it draws moisture away from the body to keep sleep dry and fresh on warmer nights.
