The Luxear cooling blanket features Arc-Chill 3.0 – a fancy Japanese technology that has been designed to efficiently release body heat. It has a Q-Max value of 0.5, significantly higher than the standard 0.2 found in typical blankets, providing a noticeably cool feeling against the skin.
A higher Q-max means it transfers heat away from the body more quickly and efficiently, creating a cool-to-the-touch sensation. This helps support temperature regulation during hot summer nights.
Measuring 200cm x 220cm, the blanket is sized for larger beds such as doubles or kings and it is lightweight enough for travel or outdoor use. It can even be used as a portable throw in various settings, including hiking trips, car rides or flights.

The blanket is designed with an ‘Arc-Chill 3.0 Japanese technology’ that reduces heat for a sweat-free sleep
Made with a soft, moisture-absorbing fabric, the blanket is skin-friendly, anti-allergenic and designed to resist mites. It has a dual-sided design with one side made from cooling fabric for summer and 100% breathable cotton for cooler seasons. It is also machine washable and maintains its cooling properties even after many washes.
Of course, buyers with deeper pockets may prefer to stick with the Oodie version. Made from lightweight and breathable fabric, the Oodie Cooling Blanket has a Qmax Score of 0.32, making it feel 2-5 Degrees cooler than body temperature.
Available in a choice of colours and designs, the single bed size starts at £99 while the larger double size is £129. Buyers have called it “silky and soft and absolutely ice cool when you get under it.”
Elsewhere, Argos is selling the Silentnight Restore Cooling Blanket for £45. Made from innovative ‘cool sensation’ fabric, it claims to offer instant comfort for anyone who suffers from menopausal night sweats and hot flushes, or is simply struggling to sleep during the heatwave.
Of course, switching out synthetic bedding for natural fibres can also help to keep the heat at bay. Linen is a great choice, and Piglet in Bed’s linen sheets, available in a variety of colours, boast a timeless yet breathable design.
Shoppers who have already snapped up the Luxear Cooling Blanket from Amazon have been sharing their thoughts online. One buyer said: “I bought this for my husband who is like a hot water bottle especially in the summer months. We always struggle finding him a blanket that keeps him cool. The blanket is amazing. It feels cold when you touch it. After a very good, cool sleep, my husband woke up and said the blanket still felt cold.”
Another added: “I bought the Luxear Cooling Blanket for summer, and it’s been a game-changer during hot nights. The Arc-Chill technology really works—this blanket keeps you cool and comfortable, even when the temperature rises. The fabric feels smooth and breathable, and I’ve noticed I sleep a lot better without overheating.”
A third simply said: “Absolutely wonderful, we have brought other “brilliant/miracle” coolers which never worked, not even once…but last night it was in the 30’s here and we slept in a much cooler, comfortable bed.. for us a very good buy.”
Some buyers were less impressed. One left a disappointed three-star review that said: “I was hoping the blanket would do what it said on the box and what the other reviews I read had said but unfortunately for me it didn’t keep me cool. It’s a lovely blanket with 2 different materials on each side.”
Overall, this cooling blanket has helped thousands of Brits sleep better at night. Another five-star review summed it up, saying: “I am loving this blanket I get extra hot at night and this blanket is fabulous at keeping me cool and cosy at the same time. I love how soft and cuddly it feels.”
