I sleep in a twin bed because, well, there’s only one of me and I don’t mind it. But my bedroom isn’t exactly heated, either and I have a pile of comforters on my bed (two wool blankets, one polyester blanket, one poly-fill comforter, one cheap down comforter) and I have to keep them all lined up to provide maximum warmth. I was just thinking, I wonder if it’s that hard on a bigger bed? Or do people buy decent comforters that don’t require stacking? Or maybe they just heat their bedrooms.
Well, I guess the Pella window guys are coming on the 20th of December to see if anything is loose. And tomorrow we’re supposed to have gusting east winds and that’ll surely make the window buzz and moan. Well, a week and a half and maybe it will be fixed.
you are such a riot. do you want me to send you my electric blanket? that thing saved my life in new york, makes the bed toasty warm, auto turns off after 11 hours (not like you’re in bed that long anyway) and just made going to bed the best thing ever.
i put a hot water bottle by my feet, and sometimes that gets so warm i have to take it out. $9.99 at walgreen’s.
I sleep with one down comforter, and I only heat my house to 60 at night. You don’t have to get a super fancy comforter, just a mid-level one, and don’t stack anything on top of it. They’re supposed to be warmer if you don’t use anything but the down comforter…something about loft and insulation and stuff. And I live in Iowa where it is currently 1 degree F. Without wind chill. I’ve been in Portland for some of their winter storms. It’s so funny, everybody FREAKS OUT! And the water bottle tip is good, and I sometimes wear a stocking hat, and I sleep with a dog who is quite warm, and ok, maybe it’s not just about the comforter. Sorry for the weird comment.
