My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't desire to change blankets so I chose to attempt other methods. Here is what I tried and what seemed to work for me.

The only thing was that I didn't get to feel the softness of my down blanket against my body - something that I actually take pleasure in. I didn't feel as attractive going to bed, something that I like to feel as well, specifically with my hubby sleeping next to me. Next, I attempted wearing these silk pajamas.

Heated blanket: Although I like my blankets, I chose to include a heated blanket beneath them just for my body. The heated blanket worked too well. I was almost too hot and my other half and I were afraid of starting a fire in the middle of the night given that the blanket needed to be plugged in. While this alternative was great, I decided I would just use it for times when I am resting on the couch and reading and require some additional warmth. I'm keeping the blanket, however am not going to use it to go to sleep.

Cashmere bed socks: This was another alternative suggested to me by a friend. At first, when she discussed it, I had no idea what cashmere bed socks were. I found out that they are specific socks that you can buy to use to bed. Naturally, you don't need to buy these socks and heating pad you can always simply wear any set of cotton socks to bed, but these are made specifically to keep your feet warm all night. I in fact tried using these with my shorts and t-shirt and found that it made a big distinction in how warm I felt. Surprisingly, these worked truly well and I didn't need to fear a fire or change what I usually wore. Obviously using socks to bed felt a little foreign to me initially, however ultimately I got utilized to it.

My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't want to alter blankets so I chose to try other methods. The only thing was that I didn't get to feel the softness of my down blanket against my body - something that I really enjoy. Heated blanket: Although I enjoy my blankets, I chose to include a heated blanket below them just for my body. The heated blanket worked too well. I'm keeping the blanket, however am not going to utilize it to go to sleep.
