Hot sleepers swear by this ‘incredibly soft' and breathable bamboo bedding for better rest
This temperature-controlling bedding set has hundreds of near-perfect reviews from shoppers who say it's a godsend on hot nights
We conducted a Mirror sleep survey with DFS and the results showed two main things: Brits aren't getting enough sleep, and heat is one of the main factors for disturbed rest. We polled 2,000 people and found out that the average respondent has spent over £250 chasing a better night's rest.
So, if there was a bedding set for well under half that amount that could make hot nights a little cooler, would you be interested? Panda's 100% Bamboo Bedding Set promises to do just that with some very clever fabric tech. Usually priced at £110 for the complete set, you can shop it for under £100 this week – ideal timing for the hot weather.
Made from 100% organically grown bamboo, the fabric feels super soft against the skin and is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking and thermoregulating, making it a good option for this week's heatwave. It's also hypoallergenic, antibacterial and odour-resistant, so it stays fresher for longer.
The bamboo is grown without pesticides in sustainably managed forests, so it's a considered choice for your home as well as the planet. Each set includes a duvet cover, fitted sheet and two pillowcases (one with a single set), available in four shades – blush pink, white, grey or blue – to suit your bedroom style.
Our head of shopping has a Panda Bamboo Bedding Set of her own and swears by it for sleep. Other buyers on Panda's website seem to agree...
One happy shopper pens: "This is the second set I've ordered as my husband's a chronic over-heater so breathable sheets are a must. The only downside is the set is too big despite multiple washes."
Another writes: "Living on a boat means that we need bedding that can cope with humidity and that is breathable. All of our bedding comes from Panda, including the duvet, pillows and bedding sets and they've been absolutely brilliant for boat life being naturally anti-mould, breathable and also warm and soft to the touch. They're also machine washable and dry very quickly which is ideal."
"This bamboo bedding is genuinely brilliant. In between silk and cotton but my skin feels better and it is a beautiful set. No complaints," a third says, while a fourth chimes in with: "The fabric is incredibly soft and cool. My only criticism is that the button holes are a bit small and it takes forever to do the buttons up or undo them."
The few complaints about the bedding mostly centre around the fabric being a little slippery for those who toss and turn in the night (it could slide off one side of the bed) and the button holes being a little small at first. However, few seem to be able to knock the fabric for its cooling abilities.
If you can't splash out the £99 on the set, there are other options to consider. Marks and Spencer, for example, has a whole range of temperature control bedding, with the Comfortably Cool Lyocell Rich Duvet Cover, from £39.50, being a stand-out. Dunelm's Fogarty Cooling Cotton Fitted Sheet, from £16, comes in plenty of colour choices and promises to keep night time sweats at bay.
