Re: What do you wear in bed
Yeah I get it historically when houses were cold, and we tend to leave the heating off in our room, so it's about 16-18 degrees, but a warm duvet is sufficient along with 100% cotton cover and undersheet. I am quite exothermal though says Viv, but my feet would feel restricted with socks on
