Cool bedding highly recommended for 'comfortable night's sleep' in hot weather comes in seven colours and is shoppers' 'new favourite' Fogarty cooling bedding range is made from 70% cotton and is 'perfect' for warm weather Bedding that easily beats the uncomfortable heat on a hot summer's night (Image: Fogarty / Dunelm ) With high temperatures comes the high chance that many people will find getting to sleep in the hotter conditions a challenge - enough people struggle for bedding manufacturers to produce ranges of 'cooling bedding'. Fogarty's range of cooling cotton bedding has become a popular choice with Dunelm customers, with duvet covers ranging in price from £11.50 to £40, fitted and flat sheets range from £7 to £28 both depending on the size required, plus a pair of pillowcases costing £10. The range also includes a bed valance, ranging in price from £10 to £28. The range of duvet cover, pillowcases, flat or fitted sheets, and valances currently come in seven colours - mushroom, sage green, navy, silver, white, dark grey and blush pink.

The items are sold separately, not as a bedding set, offering you flexibility as to where you want the most 'cooling' impact. The manufacturer states, 'naturally soft and cooling, this Fogarty Cooling Cotton Duvet Cover is essential for your home. Beautifully crafted from responsibly sourced cotton blended with TENCEL™, this duvet cover is a great addition to any bedroom. This duvet cover features lyocell fibres that are strong, wick moisture, and are gentle on the skin'. Customers have been happily giving their feedback on Dunelm's site, with one saying, 'Perfect for warm weather! I originally had the bottom sheet, so glad we now have the quilt! Soft to touch, and during the night while it's been warm this has helped so much to go back to sleep! Fully recommend if you get too hot or struggle to sleep in heat. Worth every penny'. Pretty in pink - but buyers need to realise the duvet cover, pillowcases and sheets are sold separately (Image: Fogarty / Dunelm ) Another buyer states, 'I'm happy to say I have found a new favourite with the Fogarty cooling products. Can't recommend them enough for a comfortable night's sleep. I bought white set of pillow cases, sheet, duvet etc. it looks nice and clean on the bed. Very happy'. One customer admits to being a little confused by the bedding at first, but now loves it, saying, 'Definitely the cooling cotton works, they are cool to touch and to sleep on! I have found they are of good quality and quick drying. However because they are cooling cotton when drying I'm not used to this, and think the sheets are damp! 100% they're not, they're just cool!'. Can be machine washed, tumble dried and ironed and also comes in a dark navy as well as lighter, summery shades (Image: Fogarty / Dunelm ) One customer is blaming the rest of the family for over-heating, saying 'We often have multiple dogs and my very hot husband in the bed and so cool is king in our house - love these sheets so cool and feel like I'm on a lovely holiday every night - great quality, while another says, 'Incredible sheets, so cool and fresh and wonderful to get into for a nice clean feeling, nothing's better'. But the Fogarty duvet cover and cooling bedding range is not just for summer according to one customer who comments, 'Absolutely love this, it's so luxurious and cosy you just can't wait to jump into bed'. Article continues below Of the sprinkling of more negative comments two themes emerge - that customers were hoping it came with pillowcases too, and that for some people the set creases and needs ironing in their view, with one saying, 'The material is quite cooling, but it's very thin and does crease a lot after a wash compared to my other 100% cotton bedsheets from Dunelm. It's ok overall, but wish it came with a pair of pillows instead of having to buy it separately'. Alternatives to the Fogarty range of cooling bedding are the Habitat Cool Lyocell Cotton Dove Grey Bedding Set priced £23.50 in dove grey or white available from Argos and the White Cool Touch 200 Thread Count Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set in sage green or white priced from £20 to £62 from Next.
