Wool Duvets, Pillows and Mattress Toppers, Can They Help Night Sweats?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Daisydot:
What about a chillow pillow,I didn't like it but lots of people swear by themx

CLKD:
Our mattress is like that but I can never remember which side is 'up'  ::)

I think the idea is that wool being natural 'breathes' ......

Dancinggirl:
To answer the original question; I haven't tried wool duvets or mattress toppers but I do find that a feather duvet is better at temperature control than anything synthetic. I bought the temperature control duvet from John Lewis but found I got hotter with this than my 2.5 tog feather duvet. In winter I use a 4 tog feather duvet. The window in the bedroom is only closed when the temperature outside goes below 0 degrees.
I do have a cotton mattress protector that is filled with cotton wadding and this is nice and cool. I also have a cotton pillow protector.
I don't think you can get a Chillow any more but if you chill some water in the fridge, you can fill a hot water bottle with this and that can really help to cool down when you wake feeling hot and sweaty. DG x

CLKD:
? frozen ice-blocks in a pillow case?

Daisydot:
That'd be pretty uncomfortable CLKD  ;D
You can still buy JML chillow pillows from amazon £9.99 x
