Every winter, I feel like it has gotten chillier than the year before. Perhaps it is due to the fact that every year, I grow older and my metabolism decreases. This year, I chose to figure out how to remain warm in bed. My blankets are not any warmer and I didn't want to change blankets so I decided to try 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 enjoy. I didn't feel as appealing going to bed, something that I like to feel as well, specifically with my hubby sleeping next to me. Next, I tried wearing these silk pajamas.

Heated blanket: Although I love my blankets, I decided to add a heated blanket underneath them just for my body. The heated blanket worked too well.

Of course, you don't have to buy these socks and you can always simply wear any set of cotton socks to bed, but these are made particularly to keep your feet warm all night. I actually tried using these with my shorts and tee shirt and discovered hot water mattress pad that it made a big difference in how warm I felt. Of course using socks to bed felt a little foreign to me at initially, but ultimately I got utilized to it.
