One of the most frustrating things about going through the menopause is your temperature being all over the place during the night. One minute you're throwing the sheets off because you're boiling hot, the next you're freezing cold. You may even have the uncomfortable night sweats that leave you and the bedclothes soaking wet.
You'll be glad to know that there are a range of menopause products that can help you get a good night's sleep. The first of these is the nightclothes that you wear. If you wear a manmade nightdress of nylon or polyester, then stop. These can make you hot and sweaty leading to an uncomfortable night for you and your partner. It is far better to use a natural fabric such as cotton. Even better, try one of the range of menopause pajamas. These are made from a moisture wicking fabric that moves sweat away from the skin leaving you feeling dry and more able to enjoy a good night's rest.
There are also pillows that are made from the same material that are very comfortable to use. These are easy to use and to clean. If you have a favorite pillow, you can buy the wicking pillowcase as a separate item.
For the total solution you could also invest in wicking sheets, which are made from the same fabric. Even after being washed, they retain their wicking ability. This is because they are made from a specially woven yarn.
Another solution for top sheets is to make use of 'double up sheets'. This innovative design is like two independent sheets joined at the base. If you find that you frequently need to pull the sheets back but don't want to disturb your partner, this could be great for you. They also allow you to neatly leave one half of the bed with sheets loose while the other side is tucked in.
A different solution is the bedfan. This ingenious invention blows a cooling breeze actually under the bedclothes. Although this sounds unusual it has many thankful customers who are now able to get a peaceful night's sleep. This was initially developed to save on air-conditioning costs for people living in Texas but has since found a ready and grateful set of customers among menopausal women. It is safe, discreet and quiet.
