Simba Hybrid Duvet, from £195
Being too hot (or too cold) in bed is a sure-fire way to a bad night’s sleep. As you prepare for shut-eye, your body naturally lowers its temperature by a degree or two to help you move into a restorative slumber. It then rises again in the morning to give you the energy to stay alert. Naturally, it’s harder to get the quality sleep you need if you’re too hot at night and overheating can cause you to wake up throughout the night too. So as well as activities like taking a bath in the evening and clearing your head of any worries, it’s worth investing in some quality bedding.
Simba’s new high-tech Hybrid Duvet has been designed to stop overheating. The magic ingredient is a material called ‘OUTLAST®’, originally developed by NASA to protect astronauts from temperature changes in space. I swear by my Simba mattress, it’s insanely comfy and the design means you don’t feel your partner moving around – so I couldn’t wait to try their duvet. And, as expected, it didn’t disappoint.
The Hybrid Duvet feels icy cool the minute you slip into bed. It gives you that same crisp feeling you get from fresh sheets, night after night. The duvet works by absorbing and releasing heat to keep you at the right temperature. Too warm? It’ll absorb the heat and cool you down. Too cold? It releases heat to warm you up.
It really does work. I’m prone to overheating at night and can honestly say this hasn’t happened since using the duvet. Plus, thanks to its 300 thread-count cotton design, Duck down and feathers, it feels like a luxurious hotel duvet while being super lightweight too. It gets 10/10 from me.
