Struggling to Sleep in the Heat? IKEA's 'Game-Changer' BLÅNEPETA Duvet Insert Is Made for Warm Weather – and It's Only $70

We might be heading into August, but much of the US is still battling extreme temperatures. It can make getting a comfortable night's sleep more difficult than ever.

Switching to lightweight linens is an obvious way to keep cool, but for sleepers who prefer a little weight on them when sleeping, even in a heatwave, a 2.5 tog duvet insert offers a brilliant alternative.

Not only is IKEA's BLÅNEPETA Duvet Insert cool to the touch and moisture-wicking − it's also just $69.99. It's the perfect pick for keeping a bed cool in summer.

Heavy, heat-trapping bedding might be one of the things that are making your bedroom hotter, but the BLÅNEPETA Duvet Insert, available at IKEA, is anything but.

Infused with lyocell fibers in both the fabric and the fill, it feels cool and refreshing, and works to effectively absorb and redirect moisture away from your body as you sleep to keep you both dry and comfortably cozy.

When paired with a set of the best cooling sheets (our favorite is the ettitude Signature Bamboo Sheet Set) it's a simple, budget-friendly way to ensure better sleep, even throughout the enduring summer heatwaves.

It's also conveniently machine-washable, making it all the easier to stick to the correct spring and summer bedding washing frequency and wash, dry, and care for your duvet insert regularly.

With an average rating of 4.4 stars on the IKEA site, the reviews, which praise the BLÅNEPETA Duvet Insert for warm weather, speak for themselves.

'Just the right weight,' says Lauren. 'This is the second Blånepeta duvet we have purchased in a month − the weight is perfect to have a great summer sleep.'

Another, from Demetria, commends it as 'perfect.' 'We’ve recently changed up our bedding to the Scandinavian Sleep Method where we each have our own Twin duvet with cover instead of one large duvet and a flat sheet,' they explain. 'As such, we needed new options for seasonal change. These are super cool to the touch, [and] provide exactly the right amount of comfort and weight on warmer nights. Really happy with our decision.'

A final standout review from Joanne refers to it as a 'game changer,' elaborating enthusiastically, 'This has improved my quality of life dramatically. I absolutely love the way it keeps me cool while I sleep.'

If you've been struggling to sleep well this summer, don't delay in making the switch. Even better, pick up a second for cooling a guest bedroom at the same time, and a cooling mattress topper or pad to go with it.
