"A thin but effective wool mattress topper earned its place almost immediately. It is truly thermoregulating: I run cold but my partner runs warm, and so far the wool has accommodated us both. Then came the bedding. I've always associated linen sheets with summer, but I redressed the bed in linen for winter and put the cotton percale away. Linen, due to its breathable nature, doesn't overheat among all the wool."
"For years, I'd been sleeping under a feather duvet-entirely against medical advice, given a down allergy I've known about (and ignored) for nearly a decade. That, too, changed. I swapped it for a wool-filled comforter, layered with a linen flat sheet and a heavyweight wool blanket (380 GSM). The bedding layers now look like this: Mattress Wool mattress topper Linen fitted sheet Wool comforter (used as a duvet) Linen flat sheet Wool blanket"
"I fill them and place them at the foot of the bed about half an hour before getting in. A friend swears by a galvanized steel Japanese hot water bottle which is also quite chic and versatile (for camping etc)-but you must wrap it in fabric to avoid burns."
A wool mattress topper provides thermoregulation that accommodates one partner who runs cold and another who runs warm. Linen sheets were used for winter because their breathability prevents overheating when paired with wool layers. A feather duvet was replaced with a wool-filled comforter and a heavyweight wool blanket to avoid down allergy while maintaining warmth. Practical additions include small hot water bottles warmed before bed and a galvanized steel option that must be wrapped to prevent burns. Warmth in the hands and feet promotes quicker sleep onset, and ultra-soft merino bed socks are incorporated into the routine.
