Hybrid duvet dubbed the menopause miracle

A high-tech duvet has been hailed a ‘menopause miracle’ thanks to its ability to regulate body temperature throughout the night.

Women suffering hot flushes – a common symptom of the menopause – say Simba’s ‘hybrid duvet’ has helped to keep them cool while they sleep.

The feather and down-filled luxury comforter, which costs between £245 for standard double and £345 for a super king size, contains Outlast, a technology developed by NASA to protect astronauts from temperature changes in space.

The 10.5 tog, ‘all-season’ duvet is packed with ultra-soft, 300 thread-count cotton and also features a box border with double piping – as opposed to a single seam – which helps to enhance air flow through the filling.

Makers say Outlast works by absorbing and releasing heat throughout the night, maintaining a consistent temperature and helping owners fall into a deep sleep.

According to Simba, Outlast is a ‘phase change’ material, actively responding to the temperature outside – meaning that when the wearer is too hot, it absorbs body heat to cool them down at vice-versa. 

The material also has an official Space Certified Technology seal of approval, with Simba claiming its new duvet can reduce sweat by up to 50 per cent.

Writing online, one happy customer dubbed it a ‘menopause miracle’, and said she would recommend it to ‘all ladies of a certain age’.

Another said she was ‘finally getting a decent night’s sleep’, with a third claiming it had stopped her from sweating throughout the night. 

Body temperature is believed to fluctuate between 1-2 degrees throughout the night, meaning we can lose up to one litre of water in our sleep.  

The bedroom brand, who rolled out their pillow and mattress last year, says the duvet is its ‘most progressive duvet yet’.
