Am I the only one who actually prefers getting into a cold bed and warming it up?

This, though I don't want it warming up that much. I've got a core body temp slightly higher than average, so I get hot real easy.

That means you're ill

No, always been the same since I was about 12. Core body temp of 99.2 - the ladies love it.

I do. love a freezing cold bedroom and a massive quilt.

If you've not had one before ther heat kinda sits under the quilt so even a much smaller blanket should heat all the area under the quilt

My nan uses electric blankets

its not that cold surely?

Who uses electric blankets? People are too soft these days.

It's only going to and coming from sleep that heat/cold effects you. You do have a hypothalamus!

My bedroom is usually ~5-10°C and I have no problem sleeping.

EDIT - it's 8°C now.

I thought it was only OAP's that used electric blankets
Surely you just need a better duvet and to man up a bit

Yep, I agree with Vesta Man, can't say it would cross my mind to buy an electric blanket. But have to admit I've never actually tried one, so maybe once you have - you never look back :confused:

?? What you need is a nice warm, breathable down duvet, surely?! That way you'll be nice and warm without getting too hot ..... we have one of these on our guest bed and a really spenny top end down one on our own bed. Money well spent!

whereas I can get into an already roasting bed

That sounds awful, I love the cold spots in my bed.

My parents had one years ago, something went wrong and it set the bed on fire followed by the house.

I Love laying back in bed watching movies on my 50" plasma with my electric blanket on

Go outside, get cold, come back indoors and then your bed will feel roasting hot.

This. I do it regularly.

Poor man's central heating

If you really don't want to get into a cold bed... just get into bed fully clothed... and once you've warmed it up... remove said clothes from the comfort of the warm bed...

Simples!

1. Make tent with duvet.
2. Make fire.

Hot water bottle + MAN THE **** UP = happy times?

Also I definately had to google this as I had no idea what an electric blanket was... I feel so young and naive
