The newly stocked half-warm, half-cool duvets at Aldi are designed to put an end to couples' arguments over the correct sleeping temperature - and they sound like a revelation to us.
It's a familiar argument, one we've heard many times before. Do you like your bed cool when you're sleeping, or do you want to be super warm and cosy? For many couples, it's an ongoing drama - one is wrapped in the duvet, the other hanging out the side desperately trying to catch a breeze.
But now, it seems like the geniuses at Aldi have fixed this problem once and for all.
Of course, it's not a new idea - we've seen these before in various guises - but you can't sniff at good value, and the leading budget supermarket chain has really done itself proud by putting these on sell for less that £20. Bargain.
The duvet is said to be “the perfect sleeping solution for all temperatures”
The Aldi website describes this “clever” duvet as follows:
One half of the duvet is 4.5 tog in thickness, designed to help you be extra cool in those warmer months, whilst the other side is at 10.5 tog - perfect for the chillier period of the year we're just about to descend into.
It's machine washable, comes in king-size, and can be safely tumble dried.
They also add that, if you're sleeping with a partner who has particularly strong feelings about their sleeping temperature, the duvet can help to “ensure bedtime harmony.”. Who doesn't want that?
Promising to help couples “get the sleep [they] deserve”, there are plenty of rave reviews that support its role in mediating couple's bedtime disagreements.
It seems that the duvet is so popular, it's selling out in some stores and is currently out of stock on the budget chain's website - so you might find you need some beady eyes to get your hands on one.
Just don’t forget to check the trusty ‘middle aisle’ at your local store. Find the opening times for your nearest Aldi branch via the Store Finder here.

The Boots recycling scheme where you can get £5 off every shop
UK high street retailer and healthcare shop Boots has launched an innovative recycling scheme that entitles customers to £5 off their future shopping trips.
If you're still struggling to come up with a New Year's resolution, why not try a spot of recycling and earn some money off your next cosmetics shop while you're at it?
Started in 2020, the Boots Recycling Scheme allows Advantage Card holders the opportunity to get money while also being more conscious about how we recycle our used health and beauty products.
Their third party app Recycle at Boots uses a Scan2Recycle system where users can upload items from various beauty brands by taking a picture of the empty packaging before identifying its form.
This scheme takes items that can't usually be recycled at home such as lotion pumps, toothpaste tubes, lipstick, mascaras, travel minis, make-up palettes and more.

Once you have five items approved, head over to your nearest participating Boots store, drop off your empties and scan the QR code on the deposit box.
After you've followed all these steps, a voucher will appear entitling you to 500 Advantage Points when you spend £10 in-store, and not only do you have £5 worth of points with your name on it, you're also an eco-warrior.
There's even a dedicated section of the app to recycling empty medicine and vitamin blister packs which gives customers 100 Advantage Points, when you spend £5 in-store - This is brill.
Items dropped into these deposit boxes are taken to MyGroup, a recycling and waste management service which works around the clock to help divert waste from landfill.
These empties will be washed and traditionally recycled into a material called MyBoard, a construction board material most similar to plywood with lots of different uses.
Nearest Boots locations in Manchester running the Recycle at Boots scheme:
Leeds Trinity - 1 Bond Street, LS1 5EY
Leeds Kirkstall - Savins Mill Way, LS5 3RP
White Rose Shopping Centre - Lower Level, Leeds, LS11 8LL
Thorpe Park - Unit 3 The Springs, LS15 8GG

Tesco has revealed what the UK’s most popular meal deal was in 2025
Emily Sergeant
Tescohas revealed what the UK’s most popular meal deal combination was in 2025, and some newbies have taken the top spots.
We all know meal deals are a classic lunch option for hungry office workers and for those looking for something quick to grab on the go, and it’s fair to say Tesco’s is one of the most popular on the market – but which combination was the most popular over the past 12 months? Which meal deal was the most commonly-picked from supermarket shelves in 2025?
Well, after last year saw a change in both the main and snack categories, this time around they have stayed the same and it’s actually the drink option where we see a change.
For the second year running, the Tesco Chicken Club Sandwich was the most popular choice of main, while the Tesco Egg Protein Pot took the top snack title.
It’s time, however, to wave goodbye to the Coca-Cola (500ml) bottle, which has taken the title of the nation’s favourite meal deal drink for the past three years now, and say hello to the nation’s new favourite drink… a can of Red Bull.

As always, the meal deal statistics for 2025 were revealed as part of Tesco’s annual ‘Clubcard Unpacked’ series, which is basically like ‘Spotify Wrapped’ but for Clubcard customers, giving loyalty card members a unique insight into what they shopped for and how much they saved over the last year.
The series also gives Clubcard holders the chance to find out what their personal favourite meal deal combination was in 2025, and see how that compares to the rest of the nation.
You’ll just need to open your Tesco Clubcard app on your mobile to find out, or you can head to the Tesco website here and login to your account.
Results are available now for a limited time only.
As well as getting to find out their own most-bought meal deal items, this year’s video also shows Clubcard members further insights into how they shopped at Tesco last year – from their most frequently-purchased products, to how many points they saved and spent.
