Dunelm has launched a Soft & Cooling Blanket as part of its summer bedding collection, receiving a 4.6 out of five-star customer rating from more than 50 reviews. Priced between £32 and £48, the blanket is made from a blend of nylon and polyethylene, designed to regulate temperature and promote cooler sleep during hot and humid nights.
Product Features and Design
The blanket features a quilted classic design in neutral colours, available in two sizes. Dunelm claims its 'unique airflow regulation' ensures a cool night's sleep. The blanket is machine washable but should not be tumble dried or ironed. One shopper described it as 'absolutely fabulous for the hot and humid nights' and a 'complete gamechanger regarding a good night's sleep.'
Customer Feedback
Another buyer noted: 'This is just what is needed in the warmer weather. I am sleeping under this with no other bedding on top and it is perfect. Just the right weight for the warmer nights. It also fits in the washing machine and was dry in a very short time. I wish there were more colours.' A third reviewer said: 'This blanket is amazing. It feels very cool to the touch on one side. I have tried many types of cooling bedding and none come close to this!'
Minor Criticisms
One customer gave four stars, commenting: 'Would have given it five stars but it tends to slip easily, which is a bit annoying. Apart from that, the colour is true to the picture, and the quality is good.' Another simply wrote: 'Ideal for this time of year, so you are covered by a soft layer but not too warm.'
Comparisons with Alternatives
Similar products are available from Amazon, such as the Luxear cooling blanket with Arc-Chill 3.0 technology starting at £29.99, and Argos offers the Silentnight Restore Cooling Blanket at £45, made with cool-sensation fabric.
Overall Verdict
A detailed review stated: 'Love, love this cooling blanket and ticks every box for anyone suffering from overheating at night. The fabric is soft and silky and it's not too light in weight so you feel comfortably covered.' Another user concluded: 'Was hoping this was good but was worried it wouldn't be. One side feels ‘cool’ and the other side feels normal. We used this on a hot night recently... it defo helped us both. I'm not saying it’s a miracle cold blanket, but it's a 100% improvement on a thin summer duvet.'
