Amazon shoppers have heaped praise on an "amazing" gadget that has been hailed as a "game changer" for staying cool on sticky summer nights.
The Elegear Cooling Blanket has sold in hundreds over the past month as temperatures climb, branded a "godsend" thanks to its breathable fabric specially designed with 'Japanese Arc-Chill' technology to absorb body heat. Made in a double-sided design featuring a cooling side as well as a soft cotton side to make it suitable for use all year round, the brand claims that the blanket can reduce skin temperature by 2-5°C "instantly" - and it "really works", according to Amazon shoppers.
Priced at £36.99 for a standard size of 150x200cm with smaller and larger options also available as well as matching pillow cases, the blanket comes in a selection of colours including blue, pink and grey to suit any décor. And with an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars based on almost 25,000 reviews, it's safe to say it has impressed customers.

One person branded it "the best blanket for warm weather," writing in a five-star review: "I don't normally leave reviews unless something is really great or really bad, and this definitely fits into the first category! The blanket is wonderfully cooling, and on a night it's a little too chilly the cotton side is great too. It feels really luxurious and washes well. Absolutely no faults!"
Another shopper praised its "amazing technology", adding: "I bought the blanket and pillow cases for my son and my daughter. They have both said that they were really good keeping them both cool on the hottest nights we've had this year. My daughter also said it was wonderful to wake up without being in a pool of sweat."
A third reviewer raved: "I was sceptical about a blanket actually cooling someone at night but that is exactly what it does. It is comfortable and soft, the blue is a pleasant colour, it is lightweight and the blanket washes well. I was so happy with my purchase I have bought a second one."
And someone else said: "Suffering from night sweats due to menopause. This blanket actually works! It's been a game changer and improved my sleep."
While 85% of Amazon shoppers awarded the blanket either four or the full five stars, it didn't work for everyone, with one person saying they thought it "didn't make any difference" while another described it as "just another blanket". An additional complaint reported by several reviewers was that the texture became "bobbly" after a few uses.
As for what's on offer elsewhere to help you achieve a cool night's sleep, Marks & Spencer shoppers have been snapping up some "luxurious" and "unbelievably soft" bedding designed to beat the heat. The Comfortably Cool Lyocell Rich Duvet Cover is made from smooth fabric featuring natural fibres that "wick moisture away".
Available in single, double, king and super king sizes and priced from £39.50 to £65, the bedding is also equipped with M&S' 'StayNew' technology, designed to keep it looking and feeling fresh even after multiple washes. The duvet cover also comes in 11 plain colours from classic white, cream or grey to calming powder blue, sage or light mauve.
Racking up hundreds of reviews on the M&S website and an overall rating of 4.2 out of five stars, the bedding has earned high praise from shoppers, who hailed it as "excellent" and a "must-have" for summer. Those who love the duvet cover can pick up a matching pair of Comfortably Cool Lyocell Rich Pillowcases for £17.50, as well as a Comfortably Cool Lyocell Rich Fitted Sheet for between £25 and £35 depending on size.
