About the weight issue. Remembering that there is chocolate and vanilla because people differ as to their favorite.

My preference is heavy, heavy, warm, warm all over me when when it's cold outside. My husband is the other end of the spectrum. He does not feel the cold and his toes even fuss if I tuck the sheets in. I am lucky to have a thick quilt. He is diabetic and I think that is part of the difficulty. Anyway, the bed is a king.

So. There is a contraption that fits onto the bottom of the bed, the top sheet and any and all blankets, comforters, quilts, afghans, etc. to be ever so carefully draped over it, keeping weight off delicate toes. Now if you you are like us, see if you can find one that does the bottom of the bed trick but ONLY the appropriate half. His side has a quilt and the contraption on it. Mine has no contraption, the other half of the king-sized quilt layered with something thick and warm and heavy folded in half, lengthwise, on it. I am submerged in warmth from the bottoms of my feet to my sizable nose. He is his version of comfy.

Hurry summer.
