Why do we overheat at night?
There’s nothing worse than feeling stuffy and too hot to sleep during the night. Many of us experience sleep disturbance due to overheating.
There are a few things that can make this happen. Firstly, our body temperature naturally fluctuates throughout the night, usually decreasing as we prepare for sleep and then rising in the early morning hours.
A warm bedroom, heavy bedding, or high humidity can also be a factor, making it difficult to cool down, especially if you’re a hot sleeper.
Additionally, certain materials commonly used in conventional blankets and bedding can trap heat and prevent proper ventilation. This lack of breathability causes heat to build up around your body, leading to discomfort and sweating. That’s why it’s important to change up your bedding through the seasons. Opting for a lightweight summer duvet, cool bed sheets and of course wrapping yourself up in our Silentnight Restore Cooling Lightweight Blanket as the weather gets warmer makes a lot of sense.
Menopause and sleep disturbance is also common, as hormonal changes during this time can also cause night sweats and overheating. Cooling pillows, cooling bed sheets and this cooling blanket can really help.
Did you know that also consuming spicy foods, caffeine, or alcohol close to bedtime can increase body temperature and disrupt sleep?

What’s the difference between a traditional blanket and a cooling blanket?
A blanket with a difference. But what are the differences?
Cooling technology vs. Warmth: When you hear the word blanket you automatically think of an extra layer of warmth. The Silentnight Cooling Lightweight Blanket features innovative cool to the touch cool fabric designed to provide instant cooling comfort. In contrast, a traditional blanket is typically designed to retain heat and provide warmth, often using materials like fleece, wool, or thick cotton.
Breathability: The cooling blanket incorporates breathable jersey cotton on one side, allowing air circulation to prevent overheating. Traditional blankets usually focus on insulation and may not prioritise breathability, which can lead to a build up of body heat.
Lightweight Design: The cooling blanket is lightweight, ensuring it doesn’t feel heavy or restrictive, which helps excess body heat escape. Traditional cosy blankets are often heavier to provide a sense of warmth and snugness, which can sometimes feel cumbersome and trap heat.
Purpose and Use: The cooling blanket is specifically designed to help individuals, manage overheating, night sweats and hot flushes at night, providing a cooler, more comfortable sleep environment. Traditional blankets are primarily aimed at providing warmth and comfort in colder temperatures without specific cooling features.
Maintenance: The Silentnight Cooling Lightweight Blanket is machine washable and dryer safe, making it easy to keep clean and fresh. While many traditional blankets are also machine washable, some may require more delicate care, such as dry cleaning, especially if made from materials like wool or fleece.
Calling all Overheaters
If you tend to overheat at night, consider replacing your lightweight summer duvet with the Silentnight Cooling Lightweight Blanket and using cooling bed sheets to ensure refreshing, undisturbed sleep, especially during the summer.
The Silentnight Restore Naturally Breathable Fitted Sheet is made from a blend of naturally cooling bamboo and cotton materials. We also recommend cooling pillows for hot sleepers to help regulate body temperature at night, such as the Silentnight Cooling Copper Pillow or the Silentnight Cooling Gel Pillow Pad.
The Silentnight Restore Cooling Weighted Blanket is also made from cooling fabrics and combines deep touch pressure with cooling fabrics to offer a therapeutic hug-like sensation, which can help alleviate anxiety and stress for overheaters.
Using cooling bedding can help alleviate discomfort from night sweats and hot flushes, allowing for a peaceful and uninterrupted night’s sleep.
To summarise, when it comes to battling the heat and achieving a restful night’s sleep, our Silentnight Restore Cooling Lightweight Blanket stands as a champion as a cooling blanket for bed.
