slo’s WEDNESDAY 8/3 poll - Your Covers/Sheets/Blankets

[MIGrandma]

In summer, a sheet or nothing. If it gets chilly during the night I’ll pull the blanket up.
In winter, sheet, blanket and comforter. I had a weighted blanked which I loved at first, but it didnt have enough bead separation squares, or baffling, so the beads wouldn’t stay put.

Depends on the season. Always top and bottom sheets. For spring/summer, cotton sheets with a light cotton blanket. In fall/winter, flannel sheets, fleece blanket, sometimes a comforter.

 

[design_mom]

Sheet + one blanket in the summer. And a lot of times, I'll kick off the blanket.
Sheet + one blanket + quilt in the winter, but a lot of times I kick off the quilt. (We also have a heated mattress pad for winter.)

 

[mumto3girls]

Summer: sheets (top and bottom) and light quilt.

Winter: sheets, blanket and heavier comforter

 

[Smugpugmug]

All year long regardless of season, I have a thin quilt, sheet and four blankets. Three of them are not that heavy (one of them is from the Shopdisney website actually) and one of them is a heavier blanket that was given to me as a gift. I like the feeling of being in a nest, hence the amount of blankets I have lol. I also love getting blankets as gifts. The more the merrier.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

Always a top sheet (it would bug me to not have a top sheet) and a light comforter in the summer. In the winter, we switch to a heavy comforter and sometimes I add a blanket on top of that on my side of the bed.

 

[disneychrista]

In the summer I sleep mostly with just a sheet but have a comforter on the bed and may pull it on depending on if it cools down or not.

In the winter I add a blanket or two.

 

[loves to dive]

In the summer a sheet and bedspread. In the winter sheet and comforter.

2.5 years ago, I would sleep with just a light blanket covering my midsection.

Then, I got sober, lost a ton of weight, and now I am cold ALL THE TIME. And have PTSD from having shivers (legit. Last time I was hospitalized due to my alcoholism, it started as shivers in my shoulder and quickly escalated to 105 fever for days. If I even start to feel cold these days, or a shiver coming on, I start having a panic attack).

That said, I now wear sweats, t-shirt, hoodie to bed. Plus I have a comforter and 2 - 3 blankets on me. Middle of the night panic attacks are no fun for me nor my husband who gets to be woken up to talk me down.

Life is fun and complicated for those that love me

Summer is a sheet or sometimes no cover at all, keeping the AC at 68 at night. Winter is the sheet and a light blanket. It’s very rare for the house to get cold enough in winter to need more. Even though I don’t heat the house, it’s well insulated and it doesn’t get cold outside for long periods of time.

 

[CynBeth]

We have a sheet, blanket, and comforter.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Sheet, blanket and comforter. Usually blanket comes of in the summer but with the late spring it just never did.

You're so brave to be so forthright with your struggles.

 

[SandyinMonterey]

I "sleep hot" and live in the Southeast. During the summer, just a top sheet and rarely a light blanket. In the winter it's pretty much the same but if temps drop real low, I may add another blanket (though I take blankets on and off throughout the night regardless of weather).

 

[AuntieMe3]

Summer, we have a sheet and light quilt we can throw off if we get hot.
Winter, we have a duvet with down comforter usually no top sheet because it gets all twisted at night and drives DH and I crazy.

 

[tvguy]

Sheet, 1 blanket, bedspread. This time of year when it is 100 degrees during the day my wife likes to keep the house at 72 at night with the ceiling fan on high. All that cold air blowing, I'm freezing. Not an issue in the winter because the air isn't blowing around from the HVAC and ceiling fan. 40 years ago when we got married, SHE was the one that was always freezing.

 

[disney212]

Depends on the time of the year. Summer, early fall, late fall, winter, hard winter, early spring, late spring\early sumner. I have tons of sets of sheets, blankets, comforters. I 'm a temperature wimp.

 

[PollyannaMom]

This time of year, sheet and quilt.

When it gets cold, sheet, blanket, and quilt.

 

[ford family]

Sheet plus lightweight (4.5 tog) duvet in the summer and then heavier (13.5 tog) duvet in the winter.

[fly girl]

Sheet and comforter. Summer comforter is very light. Winter is heavier.

Ceiling fan is on year round. I have to sleep cold. And I’m of the age of night sweats … they are absolutely BRUTAL sometimes even when I kick off the covers.
