Now, lie down and cool off.

Bed linens to keep the temperature just right

Many types of fabric can help you stay comfortable in bed. Cotton, viscose, and lyocell, for example, transport moisture away from your body, helping you maintain a nice, even temperature.

Nylon and Polyester ❄️

A special fabric that does not preserve heat, and transports heat away. 

Viscose & Rayon ❄️❄️

Wax-infused viscose fibers absorb excess body heat and release it when your body temperature drops.  

Lyocell ❄️❄️❄️

Soft silky feeling, absorbing and removing moisture away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable all night (or day) long.

Cool as a cucumber throughout the day

When the sun is at its strongest, is when we are hottest. Here are some tips to keep you and your home cool in the day.  

Keep out the heat and light

Curtains and blinds can help your home stay at a comfortable temperature. Thicker curtains keep out the sun’s hot rays and different layers in your windows also help insulate your home.

So do cellular blinds, which have a honeycomb structure that traps air, a natural insulator, inside them.

Different light management options for curtains and blinds include light filtering, privacy, room darkening, and block-out curtains.

Get hydrated with H2O and ice cool treats

Did you know that increased water intake on hot days can help prevent dehydration and heatstrokes? With more sweating and loss of water from the body, an increase in water intake can help replace fluids and cool down your body temperature, too.

Keep our fur friends paw-fectly cool, too

Did you know that our pets are not able to cool themselves down as efficiently as us because they are not able to sweat? Here are some ways to help them beat the heat!

Is the hot weather making your furry best friend uncomfortable?

Cool them down with these tips and ideas:

  1. Place a cooling mat under their sleeping mat or area so they can relax and rest well.
  2. Make cooling snacks with a popsicle maker to encourage hydration, or add ice cubes to their drinking bowl for a cool tasty drink.
  3. Use a spray bottle to spray cool water on their fur to bring down their body temperature.
  4. Fill a baby bathtub with cool water just enough to let them stand in it with their feet emerged, this helps them regulate their body temperature. 
  5. Dampen a hand towel, chill it in the freezer, and place it around their neck or groin area for a quick cooling effect. 
  6. Give them a quick shower with cool (not cold) water, to effectively lower the temperature quickly.
