Dunelm's 'life-changing' bedroom buy you may want before next heatwave
People had great things to say about this bedroom investment that would be perfect to beat any future heatwaves
Dunelm shoppers are praising the store for selling one particular item they say helps keep them cool in bed at night - and it's not a fan. Instead, it is a 'cooling' mattress topper. This piece of bedding promises to be a "bedroom upgrade" you won't regret picking up, according to Dunelm.
The Met Office has claimed that recent temperature spikes have been "above average" for this time of year. Experts have claimed that more hot weather is on the way, with parts of the UK expecting to sizzle in 20C heat.
It's all well and good when you can enjoy the sunshine in the garden with a cool drink or ice cream in hand. But the heat quickly turns into something much less fun when you're trying to get some sleep, as the late-night humidity rises.
So, in an effort to beat the next hot conditions, Dunelm shoppers have invested in a specially designed mattress topper, although some say it is more like a 'mattress protector'. You might think it sounds counterintuitive to add more to your bed when trying to keep cool, but Dunelm says otherwise.
Dunelm has many mattress toppers available to offer your beloved bedding some added protection and help it last longer. However, the Fogarty Cool Sleep Mattress Topper goes a step further with its 'cooling' abilities.
Starting from £38 for a single, and increasing depending on your bed size, shoppers can enjoy "ultimate cooling comfort". The topper can offer this because of its "phase-changing material".
Dunelm says: "This topper adapts to your body temperature, providing a consistently cool and refreshing sleep environment. The soft and breathable cotton cover enhances airflow, ensuring your bedding stays dry and comfortable throughout the night."
If £38 is too much for you, there are cheaper alternatives available on the high street. For instance, Amazon has a SilentNight Airflow Double Mattress Topper on offer from £29.99 (down from £49.99). It's made with Airflow technology and deep dual layers, which allow air to move freely.
Dozens of Dunelm shoppers have shared glowing reviews about the Fogarty Cool Sleep Mattress Toppe, however. One said: "Without sounding too dramatic- this has changed my life!"
Another wrote: "It's so cool yet comfortable. I can hardly get out of bed in the mornings!" A third put: "Feels very breathable, cool without being cold, and very comfortable on top of my mattress."
And, it's not just people struggling with the weather who were thrilled. Someone else added: "I am menopausal, so I actually got a good night's sleep for once! It has made the bed more comfy and cool."
A fifth person shared: "We bought to replace our old feather topper, which was now totally flat, and we are so happy that we did. I'm not sweating in bed so much as I'm a woman of a certain age, and it is so comfortable. We wish we had bought one years ago!"
Not everyone was happy though. There were quite a few complaints about the topper being thinner than advertised, with lots expecting 8cm of cover but only unboxing something with 8mm.
However, these are some of the older reviews, and it appears the Dunelm website now accurately states the 8mm thickness for online customers. Someone else wrote: "I have had it for a couple of months, and it is as flat as a pancake, a protector at best. I have had really good thick mattress toppers in the past, but this doesn't compare!"
Alternatively, Debenhams is selling a Home Republic Cooling Mattress Topper, with prices from £32.95, knocked down from £42.95. Its advanced cooling technology helps regulate body temperature, drawing heat away from the body for a refreshing night's rest.

Wildfire prevention urged by London Fire Brigade after dry spring
Fire breaks should be introduced to open areas to prevent wildfires this summer, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) has is likely to be one of the driest on record, according to the Met Office, and landowners and councils are being asked to play their part to reduce the under half of the capital is considered to be green space, many of which lie next to homes and breaks can be created by removing grass or ploughing earth to exclude any flammable vegetation, forming a barrier that prevents the easy spread of flames. LFB's deputy commissioner Charlie Pugsley said grass fires could spread particularly rapidly, as seen in the capital as well as worldwide in California and South 2022, London experienced record-breaking temperatures and long periods of dry weather that resulted in some of the most severe wildfires the city has ever had. James St John Davis, from the City of London Corporation's natural environment board, said: "As custodians of some of London's most iconic open spaces, we manage complex landscapes that are often right next to people's homes where the threat of wildfire is very real."We reduce risk through seasonal grass cutting, natural fire breaks, and widespread staff training to respond swiftly, often before emergency crews arrive. This year we've also invested in three new fire fogging units to tackle contained fires, such as those caused by barbecues." Grass fires can be prevented by avoiding the use of disposable BBQs in parks and open spaces, ensuring cigarettes are put out completely and disposed of correctly, and taking rubbish home if no bins are can also help by maintaining their gardens by preventing them becoming overgrown.

Heavy showers at weekend could match May's total rainfall
England could face almost as much rainfall in a few hours on Saturday as it had for the whole of May, according to the Met Office. Forecasters said around 30mm of rain could fall in just three hours in southern parts of the UK, with hail and thunder possible. Up to 50mm of rain could fall over the course of the day. Find out the forecast for your area Met Office data shows England had 32.8mm of rain last month, almost half the month's usual average. It has forecast heavier and more frequent showers on Saturday, as well as some unseasonably strong winds in coastal areas, with a risk of surface-water flooding. Sunday seems like it will be drier, before more rain in northern England on Monday. Meteorologist Honor Criswick said low pressure was behind the wet weather. "At the north of the country this brings in a north-westerly wind, so gradually drags in frontal systems out from the west and south-west, and that leads to some pretty changeable and wet weather at times," she said. 'Changeable' weather ahead The weather for the rest of the week will be "changeable", Met Office spokesperson Andrea Bishiop said. "Generally the theme is the continuation of something a bit cooler, a bit breezy at times, and a bit wet at times too," she said. "We are keeping an eye on a new front which looks like it will move in on Friday night, bringing rain which could be heavy, and possibly thundery at times on Saturday. "Rainfall totals of 20-30mm are likely in places and, at present, this looks like it will affect the southern half of the UK. We are keeping a close eye on this to see how it evolves over the next 24 hours or so."
