Damp quilt!!

Bubblyboo_3

I think this is a bit of a strange question, but here goes anyway!!

I've moved to a new place and have noticed my quilt feeling damp - mostly along the bottom (where it usually ends up on the floor during the night!) - I've felt the carpet for dampness and can't notice anything alarming! Though my quilt definitely seems to feel damp. Today when I woke up I noticed there was condensation on the bedroom windows and I also noticed my quilt seemed surprisingly more damp than it has done previously, was more a case of damp all over rather than just at the bottom. I'm alarmed as I've never had this problem before and before you say it, I'm not getting all hot and sweaty during the night!!!

Can anyone throw any light on this for me please and suggest what my actions should be!

Thanks

Perhaps hire a dehumidifier and run it in the room at night time to see how much moisture is taken out of the air. I have one and I run it during the night with all the doors open and it's incredible how much moisture it draws from the air. It has a capacity of 12 litres and it's nearly full in the morning. Three of us in the house, one adult, two small kids. The house doesn't need a damp course or something. Have your windows open a touch during the night also, if you can too. It may be worth investing in a dehumidifier, I got an Ebac 2400e for around £150 including carriage. Good Luck.

You will probably find you are over heating at night with the warmer weather coming, and the sweat will pass through your duvet! It happens with sleeping bags too when you are camping.
The dehumidifier is a good option you can get cheaper than £125. Try opening a window at night to let the air in, as is mentioned above. Is the room quite small/samller than you are used to or had before? If thers no where for your moisture to go it will sit in the duvet.

Hope this helps!

I've got a 'cheap' £85 dehumidifyer from B&Q and it's rubbish to be honest and they use a fair amount of electricity, really you're much better off just leaving windows slightly open. Modern houses have turned into hermetically sealed boxes, like sleeping in tuppaware, which does you and your house no good at all.

Then people are suprised when they have colds all the time and there walls develop damp patches etc.
