I lived in Germany for four years, cold as #^$&. I've lived in Minot North Dakota for 6 months, never Again !
Lived in Missouri for 3 years, hated the snow. Now in Florida, and love the weather, however, thank goodness for air conditioners in the summer.
In Germany we used big feather bed pillows that covered the entire bed.
Yup, feather beds!! Gramma used to make those ( Polish). Warm as toast and light as a "feather". Now they are called down comforters.....
As far as loading a quilt with multiple layers/ types of batting, backing.....why not just add a blanket to the bed coverings? I always have one on the bench at the foot of beds in my house.......I personally don't want to sleep between the mattress and box spring!
