I'm a total duvet hogger and wrap myself up in it! I love it when DH is on call and sleeps in the other room! I don't starfish, I still snuggle up in the foetal position, but if I'm honest, I do prefer having the bed to myself! I don't get these people who say that if their OH is away then the bed feels so empty and they can't sleep.0

maybe you should have a duvet each and then you each wrap up in :rotfl:
Some times I wake up with the duvet all over the place. But it rarely happens so think I don't wriggling about too much.

Now I use to be like that.
Many moons ago my husband got made redundant and the only job he could get in the run up to christmas was shelf stacking 10pm-6am. I could not go to sleep at all until 4am. So in the end I ended up working there as well. We both did two nights a week and full time job for about 6 months

Do remember that it was only the poor who slept in one bed and bedroom.
The rich and well to do had separate beds and bedrooms and in some cases houses as well :rotfl:
Its been the last hundred odd years that couples of all classes have shared beds. And now it's seem as odd if you don't.
The reason for me and my husband sleeping separately was due to him becoming a fidget after the stroke. Mind you I got use to sleeping on my own as he was in hospital for 3 and half months.

We sometimes get twin beds in hotel rooms as we find the doubles to be quite small, and also, you seem to get a slightly bigger room if you get a twin room.
I never seem to get too warm. Instead I bury myself right down and snuggle in!0 -
WaSp now takes his own blanket to bed to wrap himself up in. By the morning the duvet is always wrapped around me and he usually has a corner of the cover.

I just don't get this standard double for couples.
A standard double is 4'6" wide. Divided equally, that's 2'3" each! Well, a small single bed, suitable for a child, is 2'6" wide, and a normal single is 3' wide.
So in a standard double, each person has a space 3" narrower than a child's bed! If one person takes more than the 2'3", the other would be sleeping on a plank-width!(I just lurve spiders!)
