LIDL has the perfect item for those who are struggling to sleep through the summer heat.
The handy product will keep the temperature down and your body relaxed while you snooze.
Shoppers can get their hands on Livarno TopCool Neck Support Pillow for just £10.99.
That's more than £30 cheaper than a similar product in John Lewis, with the product available from tomorrow.
The pillow is made of TopCool micro-fine fabric which absorbs moisture from your body leaving your skin dry and comfortable.
The cooling technology will be great for increased sweating during sleep when temperatures soar to 34C this weekend.
The breathable and soft fabric also means it dries quickly, so you don't have to flip your pillow all night.
The pillow's shape is adjusted for correct sleeping posture, encouraging your neck, shoulders and head to relax.
It is perfect for those who prefer to sleep on their back or side, and want to bid goodbye to neck soreness in the morning.
Although at 50x36cm it is smaller than a standard pillow size, the Livarno pillow comes with its own cover with a zip.
The cover can be easily removed and washed at 60C.
According to The Sleep Charity 16°C-18°C is ideal for a good night's sleep, but if your bedroom temperature is over 24°C you're more likely to wake up.

Princess Eugenie's Wimbledon-ready outfit is everywhere this summer - shop the royal-approved white lace dresses perfect for events

Princess Eugenie turned heads on a recent visit to Tate Modern for the 25th Anniversary Fundraising Gala, looking radiant in a breezy white linen peplum dress by Self-Portrait - a favourite label of her sister, Princess Beatrice. She elevated the look with a statement orange Chanel top-handle bag and nude Staud mules, creating a fresh ensemble that nodded to Wimbledon whites - just in time for the tournament kicking off next week. Eugenie isn't the only royal showcasing summer's chicest shade. In recent weeks, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and Queen Camilla have all stepped out in elegant white outfits. With temperatures on the rise, white remains the smartest choice for staying cool and occasion-ready - whether you're attending a formal gala or a sun-soaked garden party.

Like Eugenie, she added a pop of colour with an orange handbag by her go-to accessory designer, Sophie Habsburg. On her feet were a well-worn favourite: her trusty Penelope Chilvers espadrilles, offering both style and comfort.

How to master the unofficial dress code for Wimbledon

If you were about to step onto one of Wimbledon 's Championship courts – whether for a practice or a match – a strict dress code would apply. According to the official rules, competitors' tennis attire must be 'almost entirely white', which, to clarify, does not include 'off white or cream'. But for those heading to SW19 for the considerably less arduous task of spectating this year's tournament, no such restrictions apply. 'In general, there is no official dress code, but smart dress is encouraged – particularly for Centre Court and Court One,' Wimbledon tells The Telegraph. 'In the Royal Box and Clubhouse, men are asked to wear a suit and tie, and it's broadly equivalent for the Members's areas.' There are also a few 'forbidden items', including clothing that bears political or 'objectionable or offensive' statements, as well as oversized hats that could obstruct the view of fellow attendees. But while your best headpiece will have to remain in its box for next year's Royal Ascot, Wimbledon's otherwise relaxed rules leave plenty of room for summertime self-expression, whether you're heading to Centre Court, watching from Henman Hill, or embracing the mood in your everyday dress. Of course, an absence of guidelines can lead to sartorial crises – freedom can be perplexing, even intimidating. Luckily, something of an unofficial Wimbledon dress code has taken shape over the years, and the best course of action is to follow the example of chic guests who have aced the look in the past. Take Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, Princess Diana's immaculately turned-out twin nieces, who are regulars at the tennis, as well as the other key events in the British social calendar. 'For Wimbledon, we like to adopt a classic style, and love smart tailoring in a lighter colour palette,' says Amelia. 'This feels weather-appropriate and comfortable, and also leaves a lot of room for your accessories.' As the Spencer sisters have just announced a six-month partnership with Aspinal, it's a safe bet that they'll pair their suits with a handbag from the British leather-goods brand this year (the contents, they say, will include sunglasses, a small fan, sun cream and lipstick). The twins were among many high-profile guests who opted for sharp tailoring in pale hues at Wimbledon last year. Glenn Close showed how keeping things simple can be the smartest option in a double-breasted ivory trouser suit by Ralph Lauren, while Kate Beckinsale looked court-ready in a bright white single-breasted blazer and subtly flared trousers. It's a strong option for men too, as last year's crop of suited and booted gents showed – see Richard E. Grant in a sunshine-yellow waistcoat under a crisp white suit, or David Beckham in a sandy linen suit and a knitted tie by Hugo Boss. When it comes to finding the perfect suit – for Wimbledon and beyond – few are better placed to advise than Daisy Knatchbull, the tailor behind the first women's-only shopfront on Savile Row. 'Pale colours, worn the right way, can be an incredibly chic choice for a suit, so long as you're aware of not being washed out by the shade,' she says. 'Balancing with neutrals or adding a texture to give depth to your look – tweed, rib, lace or silk – can be helpful. A high contrast is fun too – bold accessories such as a metallic shoe or bag can complement pale colours beautifully.' Perhaps Beckham had the texture trick in mind when he added his knitted scarf, an accessory that Zendaya also opted for last year, with a Ralph Lauren herringbone blazer, chambray shirt and jeans. This look embodies another – slightly more casual – school of Wimbledon-style thought, which takes stylish neutral separates and introduces an element of preppy informality. Other key reference points from last year include Alexa Chung in a structured midi skirt and casually buttoned cable-knit cardigan (also by Ralph Lauren), and Paul Mescal, who layered his custom Gucci suit over a striped T-shirt. Those looking to achieve a similar look without the luxury of being dressed by a top fashion house might look to Cos's elevated basics, Massimo Dutti's breezy linen separates and M&S's Wimbledon-ready flats. To add a touch of on-trend athleticism (it's been a year of Miu Miu-esque rugby shirts and high-fashion baseball caps, after all), there are plenty of tennis-inspired pieces to browse. Reformation's 'Courtside Collection', designed for 'off-court activities like drinking Pimm's', features varsity-style knits and an elegant white belted linen dress, perfect for nodding to Keira Knightley's elegant Chanel look at Wimbledon 2024. Of course, there's no need to stick either to sporty neutrals or immaculate whites. You could honour the official colours of Wimbledon – green and purple – à la the Princess of Wales, who's worn a regal Safiyaa London dress, a zesty lime Self Portrait number and a mint-green Balmain blazer in previous years. Helen Mirren, meanwhile, went for a forest-green midi and silver brogues last year. If you want to add a colourful spin but don't want to commit to full-on blocking, a bright and bold accessory can do the trick nicely; for an infinitely uplifting investment option, turn to the queen of playful bags, Lulu Guinness. The final category to consider when dressing for Wimbledon is prints. Pippa Middleton made the case for pretty florals last year in a Beulah London dress, proving that this will always be a fail-safe option. But this year, there's likely to be an influx of another pattern currently enjoying a moment in the spotlight: polka-dots. These have an enduring legacy at Wimbledon; the Princess of Wales wore them consecutively in 2017 and 2018, while two stars got the look spot on last year – Margot Robbie in head-to-toe Alaïa and Sienna Miller in a cropped shirt and pleated skirt set by Prada. For those looking to put their spin on the trend, there are a host of dotty options out there on the high street at the moment. Just add sunglasses, strawberries and – knowing the great British weather – a lightweight waterproof. Get the look…

The sausage roll that's better than Greggs – and it beats Aldi and Lidl too

We reveal plenty of ways to save on your supermarket shop ON A ROLL The sausage roll that's better than Greggs – and it beats Aldi and Lidl too Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S officially picnic season – but what are the best supermarket foods to pack in your hamper? We've tested all the own-brand sausage rolls from the major supermarkets to see which are the best value for money - and whether they beat Greggs. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Rosie Taylor has tested supermarket sausage rolls vs Greggs Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures We've scored them out of 10 for taste and 10 for value, taking into account the pork content and price for a 360g pack of six. Here's how the sausage rolls scored out of 20 overall: Tesco Pork Sausage Rolls, £1.95 for 6 9 The test of Tesco's sausage rolls got off to a bad start Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Our test of the Tesco sausage rolls got off to a bad start with a large piece of gristle in the first bite. The sausage was tasteless, which is unsurprising as it contained just 27 per cent pork – the joint-lowest of all the supermarkets. But the pastry was light and flaky. At 33p per roll, these were middle of the range on price but you don't get much sausage for your money. Taste: 5/10 Value: 5/10 Total: 10/20 Asda Pork Sausage Rolls, £1.95 for 6 9 Asda's didn't fare much better Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures The Asda sausages were also disappointing, as the sausage meat was a bland, smooth paste and the pastry had a greasy aftertaste. Overall these were greasy and tasteless – and cost more than the budget versions from brands like Aldi and Lidl. Taste: 4/10 Value: 6/10 Total: 10/20 Sainsbury's Pork Sausage Rolls, £1.69 for 6 9 Sainsbury's Sausage Rolls taste test – with Rosie Taylor ***Pic by David McHugh / Brighton Pictures 07768 721637** Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures At 28p per roll, Sainsbury's versions were one of the cheapest supermarket sausage rolls we tried – but they had one of lowest meat contents, at just 27 per cent pork. Although the pastry was light and flaky, the meat filling was unusually dark and tasted bland. Taste: 6/10 Value: 6/10 Total: 12/20 Morrisons Pork Sausage Rolls, £2.40 for 6 9 Morrisons' pastry had large gaps in, but it tasted buttery Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Morrisons' sausage rolls had a great taste, with plenty of seasoning and the second highest meat content of all those we tried, at 30 per cent pork. The pastry had large gaps in and crumbled apart easily, but it tasted buttery. At 40p per roll, these were one of the most expensive options – but were worth the price. Taste: 8/10 Value: 6/10 Total: 14/20 Aldi Crestwood Sausage Rolls, £1.69 for 6 9 Aldi and Lidl's sausage rolls were very similar Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Both Aldi and Lidl's sausage rolls were extremely similar, with a crumbly sausage meat filling and stodgy pastry that looked undercooked – even after heating them in the oven. At 28p per roll, these budget versions tasted bland but salty. Taste: 6/10 Value: 7/10 Total: 13/20 Lidl Chef Select Sausage Rolls, £1.69 for 6 9 Aldi's, like Lidl's rolls, contained 29% pork Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Just like the Aldi version, these budget sausage rolls were inoffensive but covered in stodgy, undercooked pastry. Both Lidl and Aldi's versions contained 29 per cent pork. Taste: 6/10 Value: 7/10 Total: 13/20 WINNER Waitrose Sausage Rolls, £2.40 for 6 (360g) 9 Waitrose's sausage rolls were crowned the winner Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Posh supermarket Waitrose's sausage rolls were the joint-most expensive – at 40p per roll – but worth the extra pennies. The pastry was crumbly and brown, although it was not quite as crisp and flaky as the pastry on a Greggs' sausage roll. The filling had a wholesome taste of pork and herbs. It wasn't surprising to find they had the highest pork content (36 per cent) of all the sausage rolls we tried. These are worth splurging on – and they're still nearly a third cheaper than Greggs. Taste: 8/10 Value: 7/10 Total: 15/20 Greggs Sausage Rolls, £3.90 for 4 large rolls (440g) 9 The posh supermarket even beat Greggs Credit: PA The 'nation's favourite' sausage roll is a classic for a reason. It had crisp, light and flaky pastry, although the sausage meat itself was fairly bland. That is perhaps not surprising - the pork content of the Greggs sausage rolls is far lower than any of the supermarket versions we tried, at just 22 per cent. And they were also the most expensive. You get more sausage roll by weight in a pack of four from Greggs (400g compared with 360g in all the supermarket versions). But it still works out around a third more expensive gram-for-gram than the most costly supermarket versions at Waitrose. Taste: 8/10 Value: 5/10 Total: 13/20
