Heavy blankets on top or on bottom in bed to keep warm?

[Don Y]

I'd not be so quick to throw in the towel (or blanket, as the case may be? :> )

My wife and I had very different sleeping preferences -- she wanting to be toasty warm, me wanting to be very cool. So, we settled on a cool bedroom with heavy/fluffy blankets that she'd keep to her side of the bed; I'd sleep under a bedsheet or without any covers.

Tougher problem to address was mattress/pillow firmness; I increasingly liked harder/firmer mattresses/pillows while she liked things soft and fluffy. Of course, over time, the bed erred in her favor due to natural "wear"...

I'm now very comfortable sleeping on the *floor*. Purchasing a new bed (on the list for 2016) is always a hassle as no one likes beds as firm as I do so no one MAKES beds as firm as I'd *like*! :<

Sounds like twin beds is the answer. Don't disregard them and think you will be far apart. You put them next to each other and it is just like a king bed where you can cuddle together all night.

If you like to read or watch TV in bed consider one of the adjustable beds as if is as comfortable as sitting in a recliner

SWMBO and I sleep in separate bedrooms. Our schedules and sleeping preferences are too dissimilar to make sharing a bed feasible. I prefer things cooler, firmer, etc. And, I'm often *going* to bed just about the time she is crawling *out* of bed! Keeping our own rooms ("domains") makes things a lot easier and pleasant for both of us! :>

*If* I make it *into* the bed before falling asleep, about the only thing I've got energy left to do is fall asleep. :> Hopefully, I've not left a pot of water boiling on the stove, back door unlocked, lights on in the house, etc. before doing so! :<

How long have you been married? 30 year maybe?

[bob haller]

GF says he is still wrong, men can not be right........

[Don Y]

Who said I was married?

[Muggles]

You've mentioned SWMBO many times. As far as I know that refers to a wife, and it's logical to conclude that it couldn't be just a girl friend because what man in his right mind would go to such great lengths as to "obey" a girlfriend? :)

[Don Y]

The 'O' in SWMBO is a tongue-in-cheek reference. You don't really think we feel like "she" MUST be "obeyed", do you?

Silly girl... :>

[Muggles]

It may be tongue-in-cheek, but there's probably more elements of fact to the statement than most men will EVER admit to. :)

[Don Y]

And, the same DOESN'T apply to women??

[DerbyDad03]

My wife is my girlfriend.

[Muggles]

I've never seen "HWMBO" (HE who must be obeyed).

[Muggles]

You must be a real romantic!

[Don Y]

Because every woman alrady *knows* that?? :>

[FrozenNorth]

If she isn't you are doing it wrong.

[Muggles]

HAHAAHA! You're so funny!

Are you capable of laying on top of her and warming her up?

[Micky]

Changing the subject! She's got you. No one would call a girlfriend swmbo.

Unless your wife is also your girlfriend, as it is in my case.
