[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 385121, member: 1233"] One of the secrets to staying warm in bed is the [I]order[/I] of your blankets, not how many you have. Years ago my parents replaced their top sheets with polar fleece fabric. My mom found some big lengths when it couldn't be easily found in stores yet. It was sort of an accident - my dad got really cold one evening and snagged them out of the dryer - Mom had prewashed them prior to starting a project. If you put the fleece or even the newer plush blankets next to your skin, and put a blanket over the fleece blanket, it will keep you the warmest. If you get really cold, use the heated mattress pad (they are safer than electric blankets because blankets can get folds in them which in time damage the wires in electric blankets and make them fire hazards and burn hazards - mattress pads don't crease or fold, and the heat is kept between you and/or your blankets and the mattress, so they work better than the blankets because the blankets), and then put the fleece blanket on you and then cover that with another blanket or two - you will stay toasty warm all night!! My parents use two lengths of fleece as their sheets in the winter because other wise they fight over having it pulled all the way up or not. But they always keep another blanket over it - the fleece works with body heat and the blanket on top keeps that heat in. If there is a fleece blanket on top of another blanket on top of you, the fleece gets little body heat or heat from the mattress pad to hold in - part of the way fleece works is to hold in heat. If it doesn't get the heat, it cannot keep it in - and having a blanket between you and the fleece works that way. husband just suffers with what I want. I get really hot, and sometimes in winter I want a window open, partly because I get fevers for no reason as part of the health mess I deal with, partly because I just get hot because the surgical menopause ****. Now Jessie gets hot flashes with her periods and SHE wants things to be really cold then, so he has 2 of us and just doesn't argue with us. [/QUOTE]
