Dunelm's cooling mattress topper aids a 'good night's sleep', shoppers say

Daily Mirror26-04-2025

The memory foam topper is made with cooling technology to regulate your body temperature whilst you're sleeping
With summer around the corner, those who struggle to sleep at night might find it even more difficult due to the heat. If you'd rather save on electricity and avoid using a fan overnight, then you can opt for cooling bedding.
Speciality-designed bedding, such as pillows and mattress toppers, regulates your body temperature while you sleep. This results in less time tossing and turning and a better night's sleep.
Dunelm is well known for its bedding and offers a wide range of covers, duvets, blankets and more. It also has a cooling bedding range, which includes a Cooler Than Memory Foam Mattress Topper.
The Cooler Than Memory Foam Mattress Topper comes in single (£65), double (£75), king (£85) and superking (£95). It has more than 290 reviews with some buyers saying it has helped them sleep better.
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.
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.
On Dunelm's Cooler Than Memory Foam Mattress Topper, one buyer said: "I went down to the store and looked at some display samples to compare this with the other memory foam toppers. I am really happy that I went with this mid-range option, as I saved money, and I think the quality is also very good."
They continued: "It has changed my sleeping quality. And if you don't like a snug fit, then this is the option to go for as the thickness is just enough to be comfortable without sinking you in. It doesn't get hot either. I am about 80kg. Totally suggest it!"
A second added: "Comfortable and soft giving a great night's sleep. Great buy and value for money."
However, a third wasn't as pleased after washing it. They said: "Says machine washable, I have had this item for less than a month. I've washed it, but the zips are broken now. I wouldn't entertain this product."
A fourth said: "This is the second one I have purchased, and I am extremely impressed with the quality and comfort, not hot like a memory foam one."
A fifth said: "Delivery spot on, mattress topper has given me a comfy sleep, without cost of expensive full mattress. So comfy! Would recommend."

Popular kids' toy sold on Amazon urgently recalled over 'serious' injury risk

Parents have been warned after a popular summer kids toy - sold on Amazon - was recalled over fears it could pose 'serious risk of injuries' due to 'accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index' A popular children's toy sold on Amazon has been recalled over fears it could pose a "serious risk of injuries". Parents have been warned not to let their kids use a specific plaything, previously available from the major online retailer. The Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons have since been removed from the website after the product recall - following fears around the safety of the items. The toy posed a safety risk because "it contains accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index that exceeds the acceptable level", according to the item's risk description. The water balloons were available to buy in a pack of six and retailed for £18. ‌ ‌ The risk description also said: "Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation." The Office for Product Safety and Standards listed the recall and said the toys were sold via Fruggo. It said: "The product has been recalled from end users. The listings have been removed by the online marketplace (Fruugo)." It added that these toys did not meet the regulations of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. The toy was described as a "bag of colourful reusable water balloons, sealed with magnets" and the country of origin was said to be China. This comes two months after Easter toys sold at Home Bargains were urgently recalled due to concerns they could cause children "to choke". The retailer urged shoppers who bought the Happy Easter plush toys to return the product to stores. The company's website stated that the product, distributed by TJ Morris Ltd and sold in their stores, posed a "serious asphyxiation risk". This was due to the internal fibrous stuffing material - which could easily be accessed by kids because the stitching around the toy was weak. The toys were available in three variations – a yellow chick, a pink rabbit, and a white rabbit – and were all removed from sale. The affected toys had the barcode 10811016. Toys haven't been the only items hit with product recalls recently. Lidl was forced to pull a popular protein bar from shelves due to health fears. The Cookies & Cream Protein Bars, made by Healthy Fit, were removed from stores in Northern Ireland because they contained milk and soya. These items, which are common allergens, were not declared in English on the label. This therefore posed a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, and/or an allergy to soya.

NHS app to become default source for appointments, screenings and test results

Millions more people will receive personal health information directly to their smartphones within the next three years in a move that is expected to save the health service £200 million, the Department of Health and Social Care said. It will also avoid the need for at least 50 million NHS letters being sent by post each year, with the Health Secretary likening the shift from analogue to digital to 'online banking or ordering a takeaway'. The £50 million investment will see 270 million messages sent through the NHS app this year, an increase of 70 million on the previous financial year. Push notifications will provide appointment reminders to patients to try to reduce the risk of no attendance, with around eight million missed appointments in elective care missed in 2023/24. 📱 Do you have your NHS App notifications on? 📩 To help patients, over 160 million messages were sent via the NHS App in the last year. ✅ Turn notifications on to get the most out of your NHS App. Learn more: — Department of Health and Social Care (@DHSCgovuk) June 7, 2025 More than 11 million people in the UK currently log into the NHS app every month, while almost 20 million are opted in to receive healthcare messages from the app. Where app messaging is not available, particularly for elderly patients without smartphones, communications will be sent via text message and then by letter as a last resort and phone lines will be freed up. It is hoped the changes will give patients better access to manage their healthcare journey and make informed decisions about their care. NHS app services, which were launched in December 2018, are now used in 87% of hospitals across England. Last month, NHS England announced millions of patients would be able to get 'Amazon-style' tracking updates on their prescriptions through the app, to check if their medicines are ready to collect or have been despatched for delivery. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: 'People are living increasingly busy lives and want to access information about their health at the touch of a button, rather than having to wait weeks for letters that often arrive too late. 'This Government is bringing our analogue health service into the digital age, so that being a patient in the NHS is as convenient as online banking or ordering a takeaway. 'The NHS still spends hundreds of millions of pounds on stamps, printing, and envelopes. By modernising the health service, we can free up huge amounts of funding to reinvest in the front line. 'Through the investment and reform in our Plan for Change, we will make the NHS App the front door to the health service and put power in the hands of patients.' Rachel Power, chief executive of the Patient's Association, said: 'This major upgrade to the NHS App marks a significant step in modernising how patients receive information, from test results to screening invitations. 'This was a recommendation from our Digital Coalition and realises changes that patients have asked for. 'We welcome this investment and the ambition behind it. Success for any digital innovation will be the implementation of the Digital Inclusion Plan and working directly with patients and communities.'

‘Miracle' hair growth gummies that ‘transform hair in weeks' and make nails long

Amazon shoppers are praising this tasty and effective supplement for boosting the growth of hair and nails, with some reporting noticing a difference in just a few weeks Hair loss and hair thinning is a common beauty concern amongst men and women, of all ages, and it can be tricky to treat. While serious issues should be discussed with a doctor or trichologist, there are a number of supplements you can take that help to boost hair growth – including these chewy gummies from Amazon. We've previously seen WeightWorld's Biotin Hair Growth Supplement prove to be hugely popular with Amazon shoppers due to its bargain price (£9.99 for a year's supply) and effective results, but if you don't like swallowing tablets, WeightWorld's Biotin Gummies might be more up you're street. They usually cost £15.45 for 120 gummies – two months' supply – but they're currently on sale for £13.90. These easy-to take chewable gummies not only contain biotin – an essential nutrient for skin and hair, as well as the metabolism and the nervous system – but also vitamin A, B, C, D and E, and selenium, all of which help to encourage healthy skin, hair and nails. They're also suitable for vegetarians, and have a yummy raspberry and blueberry flavour. With thousands of five star reviews, shoppers have been praising their effect on hair growth, with some reporting that it looked longer and thicker in as little as a few weeks. The comment from the shopper who posted these photos at the top of this page wrote, "Massive difference already December to February!", demonstrating impressive hair growth in just two months. "Nicely packaged and they taste quite nice. I'm post menopausal and noticed my hair thinning around my hairline. I've tried expensive shampoos etc. and they helped but didn't really solve the problem. However, after taking these there is a noticeable difference in my hair. My hair feels thicker than it ever has since menopause and I've got definite regrowth," another review reads. A third review titled 'Transformed my hair' continues: "I have been taking these gummies for 5 weeks and I have already noticed a significant change in my hair health. I have curly Caucasian hair which has been through it all, bleaching, heat, etc. The changes: my hair is more shiny, far less breakage due to brushing, which has already increased length, my hair is more resistant, curls seem to 'bounce back' after being styled in a bun or pony tail. I can't rate this product enough, for what it costs it's made a true difference." Where there also seems to have been noticeable results is with nail growth, with many leaving comments such as, "My nails became much stronger and grew in faster" and "After a couple weeks use I noticed my nails become a lot stronger and were breaking a lot less". Not everyone was completely won over though, with some not really noticing many improvements (it's worth noting that most dietary supplements should be taken for several months before you can expert to see a difference). "It's good texture and tasty but it's not for me. It didn't do anything with my brittle short nails even I took it for longer time," one three star review reads. "Plus it's expensive than other more effective products. For me, 5000mcg is not enough." If you do want a higher concentration of biotin, then WeightWorld's Biotin Hair Growth Supplement tablets might be better for you. There are also topical products you can use to boost hair growth. Scalps serums such as Champo Pitta Growth Serum, £34, and UKLASH Hair Growth Serum, from £34, are come highly rated, while many swear by the TikTok-popular trend of massaging rosemary oil into roots.
