As temperatures rise, struggling to sleep in the heat becomes a common frustration, often leading to restless nights. Marks & Spencer may have found a simple yet effective solution that’s winning fans among hot sleepers.
Their Stay Cool Lyocell Rich Fitted Sheet, starting at £20, combines lyocell and cotton to help regulate body temperature through the night. The fabric’s moisture-wicking properties draw heat and sweat away from the skin, making it ideal for anyone who tends to overheat during sleep.
Designed to fit mattresses up to 25cm deep, the sheet is available in single, double, king, and super king sizes. For added comfort, matching pillowcases are offered, delivering the same cooling effect around the head and neck.

A spectrum of 11 colours, including soothing shades like sage green and dusty blue, lets customers easily match the sheets to their bedroom decor.
While cooling sheets can significantly improve sleep quality on warm nights, extreme heat may require additional measures. Combining breathable bedding with a fan can create a more comfortable sleep environment.
The Dyson PC1 Cool Air Purifier (£349.99 at Argos) is a premium option, offering cooling airflow and air purification with 350° oscillation and 10 speed settings. For a more budget-friendly choice, Levoit’s 20dB Quiet Pedestal Fan (£119.99 on Amazon) features adjustable height and can cool spaces up to 30 meters away.
The Stay Cool Lyocell Rich Fitted Sheet has garnered over 420 five-star reviews. Customers praise its comfort and cooling effect. One reviewer said, “They are comfy, and when I feel warm during the night, I move my feet to a different spot, and the sheets cool me down. Easy to wash and stay in shape after several washes.”
Another added, “Great quality pillowcases for warmer weather. Soft, wash well, and always a pleasure to use.”
Not everyone noticed a cooling difference, though one user remarked, “Lovely smooth texture, but I can’t say I’ve noticed it being cooler.”
Others emphasized comfort, with comments like, “So soft and comforting. I was afraid I’d slip, but it’s very comfortable,” and “These sheets are really the best I’ve tried over many years.”
