I'm cold...

To make my bed more comfortable and warm...a few people have suggested that you lay on a duvet or a fleece blanket between the mattress and the sheet that you lie on...
The discount supermarket Aldi's had some special buys this past weekend. Mattress protectors that are like slightly thinner duvets with a filling to also help stop dust mites and allergies. They were well priced so I purchased one for the double bed and one for the single.
So what I am probably going to do later...
Put the waterproof one on the mattress first. Then the new one, followed by the electric blanket covered by the cotton sheet.
When its cold hopefully the new duvet(They call it a mattress protector)will make the bed warmer but the electric blanket is there as another possibility.
Not forgetting the cheap option of hot water bottles.
On top of the bed I have a sheet/duvet(I may soon put the duvet into a fancy cover)but for now I have some fleece throws over the duvet. It all helps..."A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" ~Thomas Jefferson

Be careful of too much covering ontop of the leccy blanket as they can overheatPlease forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0
