So, in an effort to beat the next hot conditions, Dunelm shoppers have invested in a specially designed mattress topper, although some say it is more like a 'mattress protector'. You might think it sounds counterintuitive to add more to your bed when trying to keep cool, but Dunelm says otherwise.
Dunelm has many mattress toppers available to offer your beloved bedding some added protection and help it last longer. However, goes a step further with its 'cooling' abilities.
, shoppers can enjoy "ultimate cooling comfort". The topper can offer this because of its "phase-changing material".
Dunelm says: "This topper adapts to your body temperature, providing a consistently cool and refreshing sleep environment. The soft and breathable cotton cover enhances airflow, ensuring your bedding stays dry and comfortable throughout the night."

Another wrote: "It's so cool yet comfortable. I can hardly get out of bed in the mornings!" A third put: "Feels very breathable, cool without being cold, and very comfortable on top of my mattress."
And, it's not just people struggling with the weather who were thrilled. Someone else added: "I am menopausal, so I actually got a good night's sleep for once! It has made the bed more comfy and cool."
A fifth person shared: "We bought to replace our old feather topper, which was now totally flat, and we are so happy that we did. I’m not sweating in bed so much as I’m a woman of a certain age, and it is so comfortable. We wish we had bought one years ago!"
Not everyone was happy though. There were quite a few complaints about the topper being thinner than advertised, with lots expecting 8cm of cover but only unboxing something with 8mm.
However, these are some of the older reviews, and it appears the Dunelm website now accurately states the 8mm thickness for online customers. Someone else wrote: "I have had it for a couple of months, and it is as flat as a pancake, a protector at best. I have had really good thick mattress toppers in the past, but this doesn't compare!"
