You're describing a memory foam mattress topper.It may sound odd at first but maybe a layer of foam on top of your mattress?
You can buy a big slab of memory foam, it will insulate the bed a bit underneath keeping heat more trapped.
Yes, but like a cut off of that stuff will be cheraper than one marketed as a topper if you get what I mean?You're describing a memory foam mattress topper.
The small detail not mentioned is that UK homes are over-insulated to keep heat in.ok let me share my experience of surviving winter with close to no heating, during the worst year of the greek crisis , thats the 2012-2013 winter i was living alone and had no heating, nothing. No matter what you do you will freeze to the point of despair. Now some may say theres no winter in Greece, i live in the North where it gets really cold, as low as -10 sometimes but the norms are 4-11 degrees. The only material that can keep you warm while sleeping is woollen blankets, they are heavy but they are so warm its unreal. But no matter what a house with little to no heating is unbearable, also some appliances might malfunction like a fridge.
Now i am reading articles like the 24% of houses in the UK will have no heating this winter, it gives shivers down my spine, i have been there and its a nightmare. Imagine having a bath and then walking a house which has an ambient temp of 10 degrees.

Sorry to hear about the nightmare you went through.
Fair point.insulation is not gonna save the day, buildings here are insulated as well, and i dont think all UK homes are built equal.
Fair point.
But still it is rarely bad enough to worry too much.
I have never used heating since like the age of 18.
If I am desperate I pull out my small heater rated at 1500 watts and use that for 20 mins.
Uk housing stock is pretty terrible, new builds might be well insulated but most of our houses are old and inefficient.The small detail not mentioned is that UK homes are over-insulated to keep heat in.

Yep, it's going to be incredibly depressing for people if they can't put their heating on when they're freezing. That's a miserable existence. My house is only 22 years old but feels like a fridge in a cold winter if the ch is off.Uk housing stock is pretty terrible, new builds might be well insulated but most of our houses are old and inefficient.
I've also lived in a house that regularly went down to ~10c in Winter and it was miserable, wouldn't advise it for anyone but certainly not for those with medical conditions. It's just relentlessly miserable when the only place you feel warm is under the duvet.
Its VERY depressing, i would have gone mad if i had a family. Even the Neanderthals had heating in their caves!Yep, it's going to be incredibly depressing for people if they can't put their heating on when they're freezing. That's a miserable existence.
TV' do not generate heat, or rather enough to notice
£26 spent on 2 sets of the base layers from Decathlon just now... Hoping to save that back by running the heating lower over Winter.
