Keeping warm

I have a 10.5 tog duvet on my bed. On top of that I have a fleece throw. I wear either pyjama bottoms and vest top, or a satin nightdress with a cotton tee shirt over. My dog was a useful hot doggy bottle, but unfortunately she is no longer with us.

My Winter quilt is 4.5 tog..
Impressed so many can have 10.5 tog.
7 year post Menopause still boiling hot.. Cotton PJ shorts and a T-shirt vest for me.

I wear knickers and long t shirt top and sleep under a summer weight duvet 4.5 tog with the window open all year round. I wake up covered in sweat every every morning.

Camisole top and shorts. 10.5 tog duvet which lies on top of the fleecy duvet cover instead of inside it. Means the duvet cover snuggles closer.

Vest, t shirt, fleece, pyjama bottoms socks and a hat. Hot water bottle and the dog. I get up to go to the loo so many times in the night I’d freeze if I wore less. I do, sometimes, take the fleece off. I did read that you’re more likely to struggle to get to sleep if you’re too hot than if you’re too cold but I’m not prepared to try that out though. I really feel the cold these days. I used to be a real winter person when I was younger.

I find my 1 tog duvet too hot, so sleep under a sheet with an added light throw when it is cold. I wear a crop top and pants and often need to cool off by putting a bare arm and leg onto the cooling gel pads placed along one edge inside the bed. It is said that we should sleep in a cool bedroom and I take it to the extreme with a window ajar and no heating.
I am way past the menopause (76), but have never got rid of the hot sweats! How I would love to snuggle under a comforting duvet!

I feel the cold and have never felt hot even during the menopause, but am always warm in bed, even with window open. I think a good quality down duvet makes a lot of difference.

I wear nothing, electric blanket is put on my side about half an hour before we go up.

Same as me.

T-shirt nightie, socks, fluffy socks, zip up, long length fleece robe thing. 2 duvets. Fleece blanket. Hot cat.

I wear a short cotton nightie and have a light-weight synthetic duvet - no idea of the Tog rating.

And the window opened an inch.

10.5 tog down duvet with nothing but bed socks for me (my feet are always freezing)
OH is like a furnace giving off heat, if he’s away I use a hot water bottle.
I normally like to have a window ajar but it’s just too cold & I can’t justify losing any of the warmth from the house through it!

4.5 tog duvet and long fleecey nighty, so fairly warm. Would be warmer still with two hot fellas either side of me.

I’m new to sleeping without my lovely mr i who was always toastie so - new winter weight duvet, new gorgeous warm topper from John Lewis on to of duvet and best of all, electric blanket to heat before I get in. I’m wearing a big t shirt tho till now never wore anything in bed

Pj's and bedsocks, 4.5 tog duvet most nights. I have a fleece throw for cold nights - used it last two nights for the first time this year.

That is so sad and hard to get used to Iam. I find it difficult to sleep one night on my own.
Big warm hugs to you.

Thank you so much Farzanah. My dogs have always slept happily in the big utility where they’re fed and go to if small children or unknown people arrive. I’ve been tempted to encourage them upstairs because it’s cold enough fir a three dog )on the bed ) winter. I’ve avoided this because when friends or grandchildren stay, I really don’t think having dogs wandering between bedrooms is acceptable

A short cotton nightie with short sleeves. A 15 tog duvet and a hot water bottle. Most nights I am shivering with cold until I settle under the duvet to go to sleep.

cotton nightie with long sleeves, landsend supima as it is so soft. Home made woollen socks which ensure a good nights sleep

Wool duvet, just medium weight so a welsh wool blanket on top and right now when nights are very cold, a lightweight home made crocheted wool blanket

I have an electric blanket on my bed under the wool mattress cover but have not needed it much

3 layers (nightie, T-shirt, thin vest).
4 duvets including 1 10.5 tog duvet.
1 blanket.
2 throws.
2 hot water bottles.

Looking forward to being able to afford an electric blanket, then I might not need two hot water bottles.

Skye - really ?

Naked as the day I was born under a 10.5 tog duvet.

Soft cotton long sleeved nightdress, bed socks (or I get leg /toe cramps) and a 12.5 tog duvet in winter with an extra layer across the bottom half of the bed - a fleece-backed fake fur throw.
It’s the only way to ensure a comfy night’s sleep 💤

Skye - really ?

Yes, that is completely honest. The throws are only across the bottom half of the bed.

I’m surprised to see most people manage with one duvet. I must feel the cold more than most!

Cotton pjs (long sleeved), bedsocks which get kicked off in the night, a winter duvet, a fleece blanket and a quilt. Sometimes a weighted blanket too. I have an electric underblanket which sometimes goes on for a while with me in the bed, but more usually just warms the bed and my pjs whilst I'm in the bath then goes off.

The room is cold though - I like a warm bed in a cool room, and at this time of the year it is chilly rather than cool. There are two outside walls and I go to bed late, so the heating's been off for ages when I get there.

10.5 duvet with fleecy throw on top, fleecy pyjamas, fleecy socks, electric blanket and if I wake up with cold feet I just wriggle around until I locate the Jack Russell. 😂
