warmer in bed

alyth

brilliant idea, thanks so much for this thread, as I'm sitting in a victorian house with no heating or hot water due to a blockage in the new boiler that was installed 2 weeks ago........ I've got 3 fleecy tops on, and I was too scared to get undressed as the bed was going to be so cold, even with a hottie - I've got a few of those fleeces which I just use as throws, I'm going to wrap myself up in one in bed!

And pray that the pipes don't freeze as it's a force 10 gale and snow up here!

as the old scout adage goes, one blanket underneath is worth two on top. so if you are really feeling the chill during this cold weather snap, put a fleece under the bed sheet - you'll be amazed at the difference it makes

HappyIdiotTalk, you are like me! I like nothing better than a nice cold bed.

My hubby hates the way I constantly have one leg out of bed and on top of the covers - thinks it's not normal

Tell you what, I'll come sleep with you, and you send your hubby round here and he can sleep with my wife. There! Everyones happy!

When we buy a new duvet we always put the old one underneath the sheet and it really does add extra heat and comfort.....never thought of using a fleece until I saw this thread.

A bit of good old-fashioned wife swapping

Just remembered as well.....years ago my mum (in her wisdom) decided to get me and my sister electric blankets for Christmas. She set them up on Christmas Eve so they were there for us going to bed.

Oh my god!! I thought I was going to die :eek:

My sister on the other hand ( who is always cold) had hers on all night and with a fleece blanket on top.

I was as warm as toast last night, I took my fleecy blanket and wrapped it all round me, and actually got quite warm! So thanks again, and hopefully my heating will be fixed today, but at least I managed to sleep!

I`m half in and half out as well and it won`t be long before I`m sneaking the summer duvet into the duvet cover. I`ve already bought a cooler for the bedroom because the talk of a very hot summer scares me. lol My dh goes to bed in warm pjs and he`s got a fleece topper ready for his side of the bed and I hate it when he flings his leg onto my side and I`ve got no-where cool to put my hot limbs

I now use the fleece blanket under the quilt when it's really cold, and put on a fleece jacket when I'm working, or on the computer etc. AND turn the heating down.

My flat is rather cold as it faces north and I have a continuous window in every room, each 4 yards across and 72 inches high. Even with double glazing, it can get pretty chilly. Yet by using fleece every which way, my gas consumption is minimal.
