Been on Tamoxifen over two years and hot flushes often happen at night. Having very light bedding has helped, ie just a sheet till September and now a summer 4.5 tog quilt. However, my poor OH has been freezing and has been wearing jumper, socks and PJs to bed.
I saw on the Net about quilts that are different tog ratings on each side, but almost £100 to buy. So I have poppered together two single quilts we already had, one summer, one winter, alongside each other and bought a superking duvet cover, 6 foot wide to go on our double bed. Hey presto, he is warm and I am not too hot and with the cover being so much wider than the bed, I can easily pull back my cover if I have a flush, without him being in a freezing draught.
We have the same problem and I’m about to go onto single quilts over our king size bed. We are buying an ‘all season’ single quilt, i.e. one which has two quilts of 4.5 and 9 tog which popper together. I’ll have the 4.5 and my partner will have the 9 tog and hopefully we will be able to tolerate sleeping in the same bed together. We will have single duvet covers which we can tuck around us which will stop my partners heat exuding over to my side of the bed. No cuddling since chemo unfortunately! Single quilts on a double bed is the way it’s often done in Europe and seems to work well when I’ve been over there so I hope this one will work well too.
