With the first 'tropical night' recorded, where temperatures stayed above 20 degrees, it's likely you've been struggling to sleep in the heat. If so, we've found a few bedroom buys that can make sleeping feel that little bit more comfortable.
From temperature-regulating bed sets to cool mist fans and moisture-wicking pillows, you don't have to spend a total fortune on revamping your room for the heatwave; however, a few smart buys can totally transform your night.
We've rounded up products from high street brands, including Marks & Spencer and Dunelm, as well as specialised sleep brands such as Emma.

JISULIFE Handheld Turbo Fan and Valiant Wireless Neck Fan
Turbo fan available for £22.99, and neck fan available for £14.99. For me, a portable fan is a summer essential that I literally cannot go anywhere without. There's nothing better than being able to smugly sit there with your fan and enjoy the cool breeze.

If you want to go one step further, you can also get a wireless neck fan that frees up your hands and provides some cooling air down your neck, hairline and back.
