We've been doing exactly the same for about four years now. I like a cool room and bed, DH likes to be warm with flannelette sheets etc.
We aren't cuddly people either foxgloveandroses.

We've been sleeping in separate bedrooms for nearly a year now and I can highly recommend it.

DH had two lengthy spells in hospital as a result of heart failure and other issues. He is better off sleeping in a relining chair where he can be in a position that suits him. Sleeping flat would cause breathing difficulties and heartburn. He now sleeps like a log and no longer snores!

I'm a light sleeper and used to be constantly waking up worrying about his breathing and restlessness. Now we both get a good night's sleep.

You have to do whatever suits you. Nothing worse than disturbed sleep when you can avoid it.

A couple of months ago my husband and I decided enough was enough, we came to the conclusion we needed separate bedrooms.
We are just not compatible at night, I snore (apparently) and keep him awake. I get too hot he gets too cold, I like silence he likes to listen to the radio as he drifts of to sleep or read his iPad and that light annoys me.
We were never touchy feely anyway and for the last year my husband has had disturbed sleep having to get up in the night and move to the spare room next door. So we thought, why are we bothering in the first place! So now we go to our own rooms and meet up occasionally if the moment takes us.
Does anyone else have a similar set up?
