Dunelm's linen bedding is a heatwave essential for getting a good night's sleep

This bedding is perfect for those who are struggling to get some much needed shut eye during the heatwave - thanks to clever technology to help keep you cool in the sweltering heat
Trying to sleep while it's hot is no mean feat, but this bedding will help keep you cool in bed. Dunelm has come to the rescue for those needing to get a good night's slumber thanks to their Fogarty Cooling Cotton Duvet Cover.
If the hot weather is ruining your sleep, this set has been crafted from responsibly sourced cotton with TENCEL, for temperature regulation and added comfort.
It also features lyocell fibres that are gentle on the skin and moisture-wicking (making it ideal for those who tend to sweat throughout the night) keeping you cool even in the heatwave.
The duvet cover is available at Dunelm for in four sizes: single, double, king-size and super king-size, ranging from £11.50 up to £40, and is machine washable for easy maintenance, and can be ironed on a high setting. You can also buy the matching pillowcases for £10 a pair.
With an impressive 4.2 out of 5 rating, it's clear shoppers are a fan. One person called it "luxurious" and said: "Purchased both the duvet cover and fitted sheet and have to say it's probably one of the nicest sets I have. Lovely and soft and whilst I have heard it keeps you cool it definitely keeps you nice and snug also. Will be returning to buy another set in the dark grey as a nice contrast to the light grey I already have."
While another added: " Perfect for warm weather! I originally had the bottom sheet, so glad we now have the quilt! Soft to touch, and during the night while it's been warm this has helped so much to go back to sleep! Fully recommend if you get to hot or struggle to sleep in heat."
A third noted: "The material is quite cooling, but it's very thin and does crease a lot after a wash compared to my other 100% cotton bedsheets from Dunelm. It's ok overall, but wish it came with at a pair of pillows instead of having to buy it separately."
Alternatively, The Fine Bedding Company also has a similar bedding set on offer for £23.80. The Smart Temperature 200 Thread Count 100% Cotton white duvet cover uses a dynamic cooling system, which is designed to help you feel cool and comfortable throughout the night and is perfect for those prone to night sweats.
The intelligent thermoregulation system works by sensing an increase in body temperature and activating a unique cooling effect; and when body temperature drops, the reduced body heat will guide the cooling effect to ease back so that you won't feel a chill.
Similarly to Dunelm's bedding, Habitat also has a Cool Lyocell Cotton Bedding Set for £23.50. Made with a cotton and tencel mix, it makes it naturally breathable and absorbent. While a 180 thread quality ensures its comfortable and soft for sleeping under.

Gardeners warned of 'ticking time bomb' and told to act now

Householder should be aware of the issue before it's too late. Householders are being warned of a 'ticking time bomb' which may be growing in your garden. According to experts at PropertyMarket, if you have Japanese Knotweed near your home, you should act now. ‌ The pesky plant has a deceivingly harmless appearance, but if left undetected, it can have costly impacts on your property. During the summer months, the East Asian plant grows rapidly, usually by around 10cm per day, causing some serious damage along the way. ‌ It is easy to mistake this plant as a pleasant addition to your garden, but it is important to address its presence as a priority. As well as growing rapidly, it can reach heights of around three metres and burrows deep underground. ‌ Japanese Knotweed can force its way through expansion joints in concrete, cavity walls, weaknesses in the damaged mortar between paving slabs or bricks, and it can also hinder drains and sewers. If left unaddressed, it can also potentially cause substantial structural damage, especially to properties that are more vulnerable, such as character homes. The plant, described by the PropertyMarket experts as a "ticking time bomb", reportedly causes over £170million in damages to properties each year. It can be helpful to seek expert advice to help plan an effective treatment regime for Japanese Knotweed and to help minimise any potential return. ‌ If you haven't heard about Japanese Knotweed or don't know what it looks like, then it is very easy to miss it in your garden. "This plant has various growth stages throughout the year, which can make it hard to identify. In the spring, it will have red or purple asparagus-type shoots, quickly transforming into green or bamboo-like stems, but then in the early summer, it is usually fully grown at three metres high. ‌ By this time of year, the plant flowers will produce clusters of spiky stems in tiny creamy-white flowers. The leaves are luscious green and show their unique flat, shovel, or heart-shaped appearance. During the late autumn and winter, the leaves drop, and the canes become dark brown. The Japanese knotweed then remains dormant during the winter months before coming back to life in spring. ‌ The correct treatment will depend on a variety of factors. However, there are normally two methods to beat the issue: herbicide treatment or physical removal through excavation. A severe Japanese Knotweed infestation can make your home significantly harder to sell and can lower the value of your property. Buyers may look to renegotiate the initial offer for any property, if they know they will need to spend time and money eradicating any of the plant. ‌ Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £25. However, most UK lenders will still potentially lend to consumers if they can feel assured that the problem can be treated effectively. Michael Holden, a former NAEA Propertymark president, said: 'When buying a home, the key issue is to make sure that you ask the vendor and the estate agent as to whether the property has had any present or historic issues with Japanese Knotweed or invasive plant species generally. "Bamboo, for example is now becoming more of a concern. Where there are potential issues, it is advisable that a specialist survey is undertaken to identify invasive plants in the property's garden and any other matters that would require further investigation.'

Dunelm's £25 'quiet and powerful' fan is 'perfect' for hot nights

The tall fan has been rated highly online, with people saying it gives 'instant relief' on humid nights The latest Met Office forecasts claim that parts of the country could experience daytime temperatures of up to 30C this week, meaning summer has truly arrived in the UK. With the arrival of that kind of summer heat, Brits are likely to be setting up their fans in a bid to stay cool. However, the evenings might not provide the cool temperatures many would hope for after sunny conditions all day. Some parts of the UK will struggle with humid heat nearing 20C during the late night and early morning hours, potentially disrupting a good night's sleep. You can check your local forecast here. If you haven't done so already, it might be worth investing in a fan to help make those nights more bearable. There are plenty available, such as Argos' Bush 16-Inch Pedestal/Desk White Fan (£24, down from £30) and (£19.99). Dunelm's 16-inch White Pedestal Fan also comes highly recommended by shoppers. This basic and affordable option has received glowing online reviews and is priced at £25, reports the Mirror. It can be collected free of charge from most branches within a few hours of placing a click-and-collect order. With three different speed settings, this fan is "perfect for keeping you cool and comfortable during the summer months", according to Dunelm. Customers have praised the effective device for offering a "quiet" solution to staying cool. One customer said: "A godsend in really hot weather. Brought instant relief during really hot nights. Standing in front of it, feeling the cool air was amazing." Another shared that they had "bought one for every room." A third added: "Probably the best fan I have ever purchased. Very quiet and powerful. Ideal for the heat!" Someone else said: "Very easy to assemble and put together. It works well and makes a nice breeze. [It is a] good height, especially for being in bed or on the sofa." A fifth person wrote: "The fan works well. Even on the lowest setting, it creates a nice cool breeze. It's very quiet to run and doesn't take up a lot of space." And another put in their review: "Quiet fan even on full power!" However, not all reviews were as positive, with some customers having a few issues such as the power cord being "quite short" and others mentioning that the fan's turning mechanism would "click loudly all the time." One shopper claimed that the fan would "shake violently" on any speed above 'one'. How expensive is it to have a fan on all night? Many wonder about the cost of running a fan throughout the night during warm weather. Panic about waking up one day to sky-high electricity bills shouldn't worry people - having a fan on all night typically consumes just pennies' worth of energy. Consumer champions at Which assure that electric fans aren't heavy on power, even at top speeds. That said, Which does highlight: "Energy use varies between different types of fan and by brand. Generally speaking, desk fans are smaller so will use less energy, whereas bigger pedestal or tower fans use more energy, making them more expensive to run."
