Shoppers are racing to buy a bestselling cooling blanket that customers claim feels 'genuinely cold to the touch' as soaring temperatures persist. The Ailemei Direct Cooling Blanket for Night Sweats has been reduced from £32.99 to £21.44 in a limited-time Amazon offer, with numerous buyers hailing it as a 'lifesaver' during sweltering weather and sticky nights.
The blanket has racked up hundreds of glowing reviews from hot sleepers. One shopper wrote: 'I honestly can't recommend these enough! They're soft, cool and easily cool you down when in one of the many heatwaves that we have had recently! My favourite thing to do is throw it in the freezer and put it on just before going to sleep.' Another added: 'It is genuinely cold to the touch. The whole blanket is properly cold, it stays cold all night. It really helped me sleep through a very humid summer.'
However, not every customer was entirely convinced. One buyer commented: 'Lifesaver in hot weather. Although it's cold, if you wear it for too long you don't notice the cold. Also not very large in size.'
Crafted especially for hot sleepers, night sweats and hot flashes, the blanket employs cooling fabric technology designed to absorb and disperse body heat more effectively throughout the night. According to the manufacturer, it boasts a Cool-Sense Value (Q-max) exceeding 0.441, and its double-sided design helps reduce internal temperature by roughly 2C.
The lightweight blanket is machine washable and easy to fold for travel, making it suitable for flights, camping adventures and balmy evenings outside. The brand advises that the cooling effect performs best when paired with a fan or air conditioning. The £21.44 price tag applies to the grey stripe design, with other sizes and patterns available at different price points.
For those weighing up alternatives, Dunelm stocks a 'soft and cooling' blanket priced between £32 and £48, while Oodie has a cooling blanket discounted from £99 to £74.25 for the single size, with the queen costing £96.75.
