Hot sleepers love 'soft, soothing' £20 cooling blanket that 'works all night'
"It really does cool you down on a hot night. We no longer need the fan. Fantastic!"
Things have been heating up in Sc otland this week, with scorching 26C temperatures expected today, August 12, and conditions to be even hotter as the week continues.
And although sleeping at night can be stuffy, sticky and uncomfortable in the heat, one way to rest easy during hot weather is to invest in a cooling blanket. And luckily for those looking to buy one, the EMME Cooling Throw Blanket is currently on a generous offer on Amazon.
Usually retailing at £29.99, the smallest version of the grey blanket (130cm x 170cm), which comes in a range of colours, is currently reduced by 33 per cent to £19.99.
Other sizes of the grey blanket on offer include the 150cm x 200cm blanket, now £29.74 down from £34.99, and a larger blanket sized 230cm x 230cm, costing £40.79 down from £47.99.
The largest available blanket measures 274cm x 230cm, and is currently £45.89 down from £53.99. The full range of colours, sizes and prices is available on Amazon's website.

Product Description
The blankets use cooling technology through 'Upgraded Arc-Chill Cooling Fibres' which can help to absorb body heat, claiming to reduce skin temperature between 5C and 7C instantly.
The throw is reversible, with the cooling material on one side and comfortable, winter-friendly material on the other, making it perfect for all seasons. Made from 100 per cent Mica Nylon, the blanket is soft, skin-friendly, comfortable and breathable, according to its product description.
The blankets are fully machine-washable, although washing them cold with a laundry net bag can prevent entanglement or damage to the product.
Those browsing alternative cooling blankets may consider the Silentnight Restore Cooling Blanket for £45, which measures 178cm x 152cm. Or, Debenhams offers the similar Cooling Blanket Throw for £13.99, which measures 120cm x 150cm.
But hot sleepers adore the discounted Amazon blanket, which has raked in some glowing reviews. One happy customer said: "I don't know the wizardry behind this blanket - but somehow it works.
"I was sceptical as when I first lay it on me I thought yes it feels cool but maybe that's just the material, but no, it kept me cool all through the night.
"I only wish I'd bought more than one because not only do I love it, apparently so does my husband and dogs - so it's a battle over who claims it first."
Yet a less happy customer said: "Cool as soon as you put on ur self then that's it coolness has gone, wanted to try them as everyone was raving about them but don't waste your money use a fan instead loads better."
But another impressed shopper stated: "It really does cool you down on a hot night. We no longer need the fan. Fantastic!"
And another said: "Even though this blanket isn't made for anxiety or depression, it genuinely feels like the kind of comfort those blankets give. It's soft, cool, and oddly soothing — like a little safe space for when you just want to switch off."
The discounted range of cooling blankets are available on Amazon.
