Elsewhere, Argos is selling a £45 Silentnight Restore Cooling Blanket. The grey throw is made from a cool-sensation fabric - for instant cooling comfort - and a breathable jersey cotton. It measures 152 x 178cm.
Reviewing Everlasting's Comfort Cooling Blanket, one shopper said: "I bought this blanket for my partner after I bought one for myself last summer. They are so effective. We love them, so I would recommend them to anyone wanting a cooler, more refreshing sleep during the heat!"
A second buyer had mixed feelings towards their purchase, writing: "It is soft and lightweight. I'm a restless sleeper and it did not stay on me. I put it under me to try. Either way, at first, it is cool.
"Once my body is on it or under it, after 10-15 minutes, it retains my body heat if I don't move. Moving it collects the air, so to speak, and cools down, as long as my body isn't touching it. It does not help with hot flashes with me."
Another wrote: "This is the second blanket I've purchased, so we can have one in the kids too. It's lightweight and very soft. I like to cover myself with it when I'm having a migraine."

An additional customer concludes: "I would really like to give this an honest review, but my kids have stolen it and I can't get it back from them. They come in from school on a hot day and just wrap up in it for 10 minutes, which cools them down a treat.
"They've been sleeping absolutely fine in them and said they actually managed to sleep pretty quickly at night instead of the usual fidgeting due to how cool the blanket feels. It's nice and silky, performs well, but a little expensive, but as long as it lasts all summer, then it's worth the money."

No phone zone: four ways to help turn your shower into the ultimate Zen oasis
Let's be honest, there's not many places we don't take our phones with us these days. We scroll in bed, we make video calls nestled between the sofa cushions, and we're often reading a recipe on our screen while leaning over the hob. Thankfully, the shower is usually a phone-free zone – try typing away on a wet screen and see how far you get! But why not make an intentional decision to make it a place where you can completely zone out? Just like that carefully chosen squishy yoga mat upon which you stretch and forget all your worries and the specially selected garden chair where you like to journal amid nature, your bathroom can offer moments of much-needed Zen in a busy life that can often feel relentless. Indeed, the shower is the unsung hero of our 'always on' world, allowing even the most screen-addicted of us some respite from the average of more than three hours per day spent tapping away on our smartphones. In our modern world, the shower is no longer a place where you simply just scrub yourself clean, but also a dedicated space to tune out the noise – be that the ping of an email notification or that new reel your friend just posted – and focus on your wellbeing. Here are four things you can do that will help you rely on your smartphone less – and make the most of your time in the shower. We all know that the less you're able to glance at your screen, the better. If your Google or Amazon smart speaker has already roused you from a deep slumber, then use the same device to switch on your Mira digital shower from the comfort of your bed by using your voice alone. This hands-free command will signal it to power up to your customised setting – ready with your preferred temperature and sprays – so that you can allow your Zen to keep flowing as you make your way to the bathroom. Want to tweak the settings to align with a change of mood? Head with intention to your Mira Showers app before returning to soak in the offline world. Heaven! The shower is the perfect place to close your eyes in the evening after a busy day – allowing a sense of calm and contentment to wash over you for a moment or two. One key element for elevating this everyday experience into your very own daily 'spa' is the type of showerhead you use. The rainfall-style overhead Mira Beat 25cm Deluge creates an indulgent waterfall effect that practically transports you to a tropical island. Another powerful tweak? Consider your aesthetic – for you, not social media. Stylish tiling, luscious plants and premium toiletries can be let down by tired-looking shower fixtures. But Mira's black shower range – featuring finishes from matt black to sleek black onyx – makes a stunning statement that will no doubt lift your mood every time you enter the bathroom. Another factor to really ensure you leave the world outside the bathroom door behind for a while is to turn up the heat. Be certain of stepping into steamy temperatures every time with the Mira Beacon shower, which comes fitted with sleek HydroGlo technology – featuring an indicator that lights up when your shower reaches your desired temperature. Better still, upgrade your wellness further with a little help from the digital Mira Activate with ColdBoost shower, which allows you to explore cold showering at your own pace (whether you are looking for beginner-friendly or advanced immersion) – which has been linked to enhanced mood and boosted alertness – from the comfort of your own home. Simply select one of the presets – ranging from one to three minutes, a fraction of the time you while away online – at an intensity that suits you. If your device is hanging over you with unanswered messages and calendar appointments, then take some of the pressure off by adding a different kind of pressure in the shower. Enjoy the meditative hydro massage that comes with the Mira Platinum digital shower range – a smart set-up whose flow is controlled by a wireless LED controller. The Mira Switch four spray showerhead allows you to simply adjust from one experience to another – from 'saturate' to 'soothe', it can be tailored to however you are feeling. Because there is no one-size-fits-all when you simply want to get away from it all. Head to Mira Showers to discover the full range of showers available and how to get one installed by Mira-approved experts for complete peace of mind

Dunelm's 'stylish' £35 sun lounger adds 'Mediterranean vibes' to any garden
People are raving about the 'comfort and style' of this affordable chair that 'looks great in summer' Brits are expected to soak up some much-anticipated summer weather this week, and this might mean the hunt for budget-friendly outdoor furniture. There's no need to splash out to find a chic garden set to enjoy the incoming 30C sunshine. Dunelm's Helsinki Lounger, priced at a reasonable £35 per chair, offers a selection of vibrant colours - including two shades of blue, a coral pink and a charcoal grey. Most Dunelm stores have the lounger ready for same-day click-and-collect, allowing shoppers to make the most of the sunny weather without waiting for a delivery. The retailer shared on its website: " This lounger redefines outdoor comfort, inviting you to unwind in luxurious tranquillity. The adjustable backrest allows for personalised reclining positions, ensuring optimal comfort for lounging or soaking up the sun's rays." Crafted with "durable materials" the lounger is said to be built to last through the often unpredictable British summer weather, reports the Mirror. Dunelm added that "this lounger will provide longevity without compromising on style or comfort". For those looking to grab a bargain on garden chairs just in time for the warm spell, options like the Folding Metal Zero Gravity Sun Lounger (Argos, £45) or the Colorado Grey Metal Sun Lounger (B&Q, £50) are available. However, the Dunelm offering remains a firm favourite among many shoppers. In the reviews, one customer said: "A super stylish and comfortable lounger. Excellent quality and well-made. Great Summer colour. Good value for money." Lulu added: "Bought these chairs last summer, they have been fantastic. I've taken them on holiday and used them at home, very comfortable." Phil shared his satisfaction: "Seems a very good and early indication is a good product too - so much so we went back and bought a second one!" And Frances suggested: "Good value for money sun lounger ideal for my small patio. I went for the colour green which gives Mediterranean vibes." However, not all feedback was glowing, as Lucy claimed: "Sun faded after a week which is a real shame as I was so excited and loved the colour." Fiona also encountered the same problem, writing: "Within two week of using this the plastic arms have faded. Making it look much older than it is." Despite these issues, the majority of the 200 reviews celebrated the chair's five-star performance. A satisfied shopper said: "beautiful chair, I bought 4. Such nice colours and perfect for summer." And another added: "Amazing chair, I went back to buy another one because my husband was so jealous! Very comfortable, good quality, has survived a few nights I've accidentally left outside!" With summer making its presence felt this week and temperatures expected to soar to 30C in some parts of the UK, Brits are gearing up to enjoy the heatwave. However, the sunny weather comes with health advisories. The NHS provides extensive advice on how to protect yourself and children from the sun, highlighting the dangers of sunburn and its link to skin cancer. More details on protective measures can be found through the resources provided by Cancer Research UK.
