i was told to use towels and fleece as a bedding and it sounds great. should i use it in summer too or will it get too hot?

I cant really do that cuz we're renting, plus we have no fans or air con inside so i think it would be worse. I've always had them outside and they've been fine, maybe suggestions on another bedding would be good... thanks!
its not that im dead set on my ways, its that the owners of the house wouldnt allow pets inside at all... theres only pedistal fans inside and that wont be good as they will be getting a direct breeze on them all the time. if i had my own home i would do a c&c cage, they are very nice cages. thats why i'm trying to get as much info on keeping them outside as possible. i know some people have said to use fleece, some said to not use fleece, so i didnt know what to do... i see them every day so they are very much part of the family life, this weekend i'm getting a massive run for the grass for them so i can even hang out with them in there. trust me it gets hotter in here than outide when the house is closed up. they never get direct sun, only a little in the afternoon, but i cover it so it doesnt get thru and they get a nice soft breeze too. as for the ice packs, i meant those hard plastic blue ones with water inside.. the water inside freezes up.
I bought ice packs off ebay non toxic and they last for eight hours. I wrap it in a towel and the guinea pigs lie on it when they are hot. It is best to keep them indoors due to heat stroke. I also give them a little bath which they really enjoy.
