Summer goose down, 4.1 tog duvet with fine merino blanket on top if super cold…….plus a furry hot water bottle. Never cold. Window usually open, no heating at night.

t-shirt top

I wear knickers and a ty-shirt type pyjama top. My duvet is 4.5 all year round. If it gets much colder than it is at the moment, I'll put a fleece blanket on top

Just one layer (cotton nightie), a 10.5 tog duvet but I put a cotton cellular blanket on top of the duvet the other night to feel a bit more snuggly.

Don't like the radiator on in the bedroom so it's set on 1 or frost - but it came on this morning!

Short sleeved pyjamas, and a lightly quilted cotton blanket/ bedspread, topped with a lightweight fleece throw.
My pyjama trousers do make it difficult to turn in bed, but I often sleep through the night without moving. 😴

I rarely wear anything to bed as I don't like the feeling of clothes wrapped round me. I have an electric blanket which warms me enough when I first go to bed. I don't like clothes with buttons, high necks or long sleeves either. It's obviously a sensory thing

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

I have a 15tog duvet but I wear nothing in bed it’s easier for me to turn or move as I have Arthritis I take my PJs off once I’m ready to settle down as with them on I tend to ‘stick’to the sheet.

I wear a loose short sleeved pj top, big knickers and fluffy socks. I struggle to turn over in bed if I have pj trousers on, but they’re by the bed to pop on when I go downstairs. My duvet is 10.5 tog feather and down, with a fleece throw and a heated throw too, but instead of sleeping under a warm cloud it gets squashed by the dog snuggled against my back and a cat in the crook of my knees!

I wear nothing and have a 1tog quilt. I do use a lovely heat pad for my back though which I sometimes switch on again during the night as it lasts three hours. I’ve always been hot stuff!

This morning I read Cari Rosen on Twitter saying
“I’ve gone backpacking for a month with fewer clothes than I’m currently wearing in bed”

I know the feeling- even with my new warm duvet and a living canine hottie called Rosie I seem to put on as many garments when I go to bed as I put on in the morning!
Not the most glamorous, but needs must!
Go on, how many layers are you wearing in bed - and don’t be like Marilyn Monroe and say only Chanel No. 5 because I won’t believe you!
