Credit: Aldi
The budget supermarket's new lightweight, temperature regulating duvet could be the perfect solution.
Aldi's Always Cool Duvet hits shelves from today, July 10, and is available in a double size for £14.99 and king size for £16.99.
The 4.5 tog polyester duvet is designed with moisture-wicking technology to absorb sweat and help to regulate body heat for a more comfortable night's sleep.
The product can be found in Aldi's middle aisle, and comes as Brits are set to sizzle in more scorching temperatures of up to 31C this weekend.
It's also a whopping £38 cheaper than John Lewis' summer duvet.
The retailer's Climate Control Duvet, which is also 4.5 tog and uses similar sweat-wicking technology, costs £55 for a king size.
Other bedding bargains hitting Aldi's middle aisle
Aldi's smart duvet is part of a range of summer bedding hitting the retailer's middle aisle this week.
It's Always Cool Pillow Pair for £9.99 means you'll never need to turn your pillow over to the colder side again - as its hydrocool fabric keeps each side cool to the touch.
The supermarket is also offering a memory foam version for those looking for a bit of extra support.
The Slumberdown Hydrocool Memory Foam Pillow costs £12.99, and features a supportive memory foam fibre filling, as well as a cooling technology to regulate body temperature.
The sausage roll that's better than Greggs – and it beats Aldi and Lidl too
The product is up to £136 cheaper than high street alternatives, with the Tempur Cloud Smart Cool Medium Pillow selling at John Lewis for £149.
For those looking to keep their homes cool in the hot weather, Aldi is also selling a budget-friendly Pedestal Fan for £29.99.
The fan comes with a remote control, and features three speed settings, three breeze modes and five durable metal blades.
If you're looking to get your hands on any of the new products, Aldi has reminded customers that they'll need to be quick.
"It's a case of 'you snooze you lose', as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone!," the retailer said.
More ways to beat the heat
Aldi isn't the only high street retailer offering sizzling summer bargains.
From today, Lidl is launching a new range of fans, including a Dyson dupe for £70 and an air conditioning unit for £150.
The German retailer recently launched a huge bedding and homeware sale in its middle aisle, with prices from as little as £3.99.
Shoppers can get a whole refresh of their bed linen for just over £50, with the range coming in a range of different colours and sizes.
The Renforce BedLinen range, featuring a breathable cotton and polyester mix, is priced at £9.99 (single), £11.99 (double), and £13.99 (king).
For a more luxurious option, shoppers can get the muslin bed linen range, priced at £24.99 for the double and £29.99 for the king size.

Huge EV boost as new chargers planned for UK add 249 miles in just 5 minutes

EV drivers tired of slow charges are in for a major boost as automotive giant prepares to roll out its ultra-fast 'Flash Charges' across the UK, dramatically enhancing the country's EV infrastructure Brits with electric vehicles (EVs) are set to experience a giant leap forward in charging technology - but there's one small catch. Chinese automotive giant BYD is preparing to bring its ultra-fast 'Flash Chargers' across the UK in a move set to dramatically enhance the UK's EV infrastructure, making charging quicker and more convenient than ever before. The new chargers, capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt (1,000 kW) of power, are engineered to reduce charging times substantially. ‌ However, these new technologies won't be rolled out in the UK until 2026, meaning EV owners will have to wait months before getting their hands on the super-fast chargers. The news comes shortly after BYD announced the creation of its own ultra-fast EV charger, representing a major step forward in the industry. It stands out for its remarkable capability — it can add approximately 1.2 miles of range every second, meaning drivers could gain up to 249 miles of range in just five minutes. ‌ EV sales hit 315k in 72 hours for one car brand as 500-mile range car launches This speed is comparable to the time it takes to refuel traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, effectively closing the gap between electric and petrol/diesel cars in terms of convenience and usability. The rollout of these high-speed chargers is expected to make EV ownership significantly more attractive to a broader range of drivers. In an exclusive interview with the Independent, BYD special advisor Alfredo Altavilla confirmed the company's ambitious plans. He stated: "In 2026. You will get a few stations in every country in Europe. They will be branded BYD, but they will be open to everybody." ‌ So while Flash Chargers will carry BYD branding, they will be accessible to all electric vehicle owners, not just those driving the manufacturer's models. But it's important to note that only vehicles equipped to handle megawatt-level charging will be able to take full advantage of the fastest charging speeds these stations will offer. BYD's latest car tech — the Super e-Platform — features a 1,000V high-voltage architecture with a Flash Charging Battery. It is available in the Han L and Tang L models, which can already be ordered in China. ‌ BYD's advisor told the Independent that Denza — the manufacturer's more upmarket brand — models would debut BYD's new technology across the UK and Europe, along with SUVs and sports cars from BYD's luxury brand Yangwang. Altavilla said: "The idea is for Denza and Yangwang to be the so-called technology manifesto of the BYD group. Those are the two brands where all new technologies will be firstly introduced. So, the flash charging for example." The introduction of BYD's Flash Chargers represents a major milestone in the evolution of EV infrastructure in the UK. With the ability to add nearly 250 miles of range in just five minutes, these chargers promise to make EVs even more practical and appealing for everyday use. As the UK moves towards a more environmentally friendly future, such innovations are set to play a crucial role in accelerating the adoption of greener technology and reducing our reliance on planet-killing fossil fuels.
