When you're trying to get to sleep in this hot weather, is there anything better than turning your pillow over to get the cold side? We don't think so, and now we've discovered a way to get that blissfully cool feeling all over your body while you sleep.

This weighted blanket from SCM gives a whole new meaning to 'Netflix and chill' because it's designed to cool you down in warm weather. It's made with nano-ceramic bead technology and comes with two covers, one for the winter months and one for times like this summer, when you want to snuggle but you don't want to break out in a sweat.

The cover is made from Coolmax microfibre technology, designed to 'ventilate heat away from your body.' And shoppers seem to be loving it, because it's racked up an average 4.5 star rating on Amazon.

Weighted blankets are already huge in the US. It's said that if you choose one that weighs about 10 per cent of your body weight, it can trigger the same feelings as a hug - just one of many reasons a weighted blanket is said to help you sleep better.

"Much like a tight hug or the comfort that comes to a baby when swaddled, a weighted blanket releases serotonin and endorphins which are the chemicals our bodies naturally use to feel relaxed or calm," says SCM.

"Our bodies convert the serotonin to melatonin - which is a natural sleep inducing hormone." We're up for anything that gives us all the good feelings of being snuggled and cosy under a blanket, whatever the weather.

And if your pillow isn't cutting it no matter how many times you turn it over, we've found a 'cooling sleep restoration pillow' that does the work for you - this memory foam one has built-in cooling pads for a chilled sleep all night long.

Designed for warm sleepers and humid climates, it has a soft, breathable bamboo fibre case. Added bonus: it's made of hypoallergenic memory foam so it's designed to be kind to your neck, too. And the sellers are so confident you'll love it that they offer a full 90-day money back guarantee.

So if you're loving everything about this weather except your sleep, the answer to your nighttime prayers might just be a new new blanket or pillow.
