And although purchasing a fan or making your own air conditioner may be your first thought, the type of bedding you use can make a huge difference.
Aldi Duvet
Landing in stores this Thursday, Aldi's Always Cool Hydrocool King Duvet is priced at £16.99.
The 4.5 tog cover absorbs body moisture, to keep you cool and dry on hot nights.
The polyester duvet is also super lightweight, which will also help to keep you cool.
Aldi said: "Keep your body temperature regulated with this duvet that is treated with Hydrocool technology which absorbs body moisture keeping you dry and cool."
The duvet will be located in the middle aisle of Aldi stores, however, you'll have to be quick since, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone.
You can also pair the duvet with Aldi's £7.99 Cooling Pillow.
With medium support they ensure the right level of comfort for your head and neck, so you can enjoy a great night's sleep, all night long.
They are sized at 74 x 48cm with a pinsonic cover and a polyester cover and filling.
The intelligent Hydrocool technology moisture management works by absorbing moisture created by body heat.
Aldi is selling a home organizing essential for just $29.99 – and it's $46 cheaper than the Home Depot version
This creates a dry, cool and comfortable sleeping environment.
£38 cheaper than John Lewis
The clever duvet is a whopping £38 cheaper than John Lewis' Climate Control Duvet, with the king size cover setting you back £55.
The John Lewis quilt is also 4.5 Tog and uses the same technology, to remove moisture from your skin as you sleep.
John Lewis said: "Combining dual action technology, this duvet works in response to your body's natural way to regulate temperature, helping to keep you comfortable night after night.
How to keep cool in hot weather
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS...
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
"The Temperate® fibre filling and HYDROCOOL® technology applied to the fabric work together to wick moisture away from the skin, helping you to enjoy a more restful night's sleep."
More hacks to keep cool
Corey Sims at CSDB revealed that a free hack to keep yourself cool at night is to freeze your bed sheets and pyjama s.
The expert added that you can also fill a spray bottle with water, and use it to spray your curtains, which will lower the temperature of your home.
"Dampen your curtains to cool the room," the expert advised toasty homeowners.
"As air blows across the wet drapes, evaporating water absorbs heat and lowers the room temperature.
"The hot weather also ensures the curtains dry quickly without smelling damp."
