As temperatures begin to rise, going to bed feeling overheated often leads to tossing, turning and a restless night. But M&S may have a simple solution that's catching shoppers' attention.

The Stay Cool Lyocell Rich Fitted Sheet (from £20) is made from a blend of lyocell and cotton, which helps to regulate temperature at night. It also features moisture-wicking properties that draw heat and sweat away from the body, ideal for those prone to overheating at night.

The fitted sheet is designed to suit mattresses up to 25cm deep and comes in four sizes: single, double, king size and super king. Matching pillowcases are also available, offering the same cooling benefits around the head, neck and shoulders.

Shoppers are also spoiled for choice when it comes to style. With 11 colours on offer, including sage green and dusty blue, it's easy to find an option that complements existing bedding.

Of course, while cooling bedding can make a noticeable difference, it's not a complete fix during particularly hot weather. When temperatures really climb, pairing breathable sheets with a good fan can help create a more comfortable sleeping environment.

A particularly popular model is the Dyson PC1 Cool Air Purifier (£349.99, Argos), which combines cooling with effective air purification. It has a wide 350° oscillation to cover larger spaces and 10 speed settings.

For a more affordable option, Levoit's 20dB Quiet Pedestal Fan (£119.99, Amazon) is ideal. It has an adjustable height, meaning users can use it for desks and the floor, and it covers distances of up to 30m.

But for those convinced by the Stay Cool Lyocell Rich Fitted Sheet, it already has more than 420 five-star reviews. This happy shopper shared: "They are comfy, and when I feel warm during the night, I move my feet to a different spot, and the sheets cool me down. Easy to wash and stay in shape even after several washes."

Meanwhile, a second, who also purchased the pillowcases, piped up: "Great quality and perfect pillowcases for when the weather is warmer or if you feel the heat in bed. Lovely and soft wash and iron well, always happy with this purchase."

However, it hasn't worked for everyone. This person remarked: "Lovely smooth texture, but I can't say I've noticed it being cooler."
