Did you know that your mattress can help regulate your temperature? 🌡️

It's not just the inside of your mattress you should pay attention to. Many fabrics that cover mattresses - known as ticking - now have special qualities to keep you cool as you sleep.

Look for the following materials:

➡️ Tencel and polyester with moisture-wicking properties that pull sweat away.

➡️ Cotton, like Tencel, is very breathable, but it absorbs moisture instead.

If a mattress claims to have 'temperature-regulating' qualities, check the product description and research the material for evidence of this.

If you're struggling to keep cool in bed and have tried every trick in the book, it might be time to change your mattress ✨

Scam ads on social media continue to be a huge problem, and deepfake videos are just the latest tool that has made them more believable ❌

According to Which?, fraudsters are using deepfake videos to target big retailers like Boots to lure shoppers into handing over their bank and card details.

➡️ What is a deepfake video?

A deepfake video is a fake video that has been artificially created using AI technology to make it appear that someone is saying or doing something they did not. That 'someone' can be real or fake.

Most of the deepfake videos that Which? found were adverts placed on social media sites like Facebook, so you may have even come across one yourself.

➡️ Please be vigilant when buying a bed online.

Ideally, avoid buying a bed from an online marketplace or social media ads, where traceability is next to zero.

✅ Look for the retailer's official social media page.

If you're unsure about an ad you've seen and it's been posted from an unfamiliar profile, don't click on it. Instead, head to the official brand page to see if they have posted it there.

✅ Always buy from a reputable bed retailer.
