Marks & Spencer has cut the price of its Ultimate Soft & Silky Bedding Set by 40 per cent, with a double now costing £41.40 instead of £69. The reduction comes as the UK prepares for another heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach the 30s this week.
Price reductions across all sizes
The single size has dropped from £59 to £35.90, while the king-size set is now £47.70, down from £79. The bedding is made from 300 thread-count lyocell, a fabric known for its breathability and smooth texture. It is available in a crisp white shade, designed to give bedrooms a hotel-inspired look.
The set includes a duvet cover and at least one pillowcase, depending on the size. Practical features include corner loops to keep the duvet in place and anti-allergy properties that M&S says are scientifically proven to reduce dust mite allergens. A matching fitted sheet is also available at 40 per cent off, sold separately.
Customer reviews highlight comfort
Shoppers have praised the bedding for its cooling effect during warm weather. One customer said: "I really love this bedding, it's got zips on the pillowcases and the duvet cover which makes it so easy to make. It's cool and comfortable, especially in the recent heatwave. I would definitely recommend."
Another added: "I find it to be very comfortable when paired with the bottom sheet of the same range. During the heatwave we used the duvet cover without a duvet in it. It is definitely soft and comfortable and during normal temperatures does feel soft and cool against the skin."
One review noted a sizing issue: "The cover comes up very large compared to the duvet size." However, another enthusiast commented: "It's wonderfully soft, lightweight and has the same cooling feel that makes such a difference if you tend to sleep hot. The fabric drapes beautifully and feels luxurious against the skin, making it a pleasure to sleep under. I also love the zip closure; it's so much neater and easier to use than buttons. This has become my favourite bedding, and I'd happily buy more if M&S introduced additional colours."
Additional cooling options
For those seeking extra cooling, the Dyson PC1 Cool Air Purifier is available at Argos for £450, offering 350° oscillation and air purification. A more affordable option is the Levoit 20dB Quiet Pedestal Fan at Amazon for £99.99, which has an adjustable height and covers up to 30 metres. As the heatwave continues, these products may help improve sleep quality during the warm nights.
