Our bedroom is on the west end of a very old house, and when it is really windy out in the winter, it gets colder than the rest of the house. We try to keep that door closed during the day, so it is sometimes quite chilly in there when it is 70 everywhere else. And our house is well insulated.
We use one light quilt in the summer time, one heavier quilt in spring and fall, and during the winter we have them both on. Two quilts works really well. If we get too hot, one can be tossed off. Occasionally if I'm still cold I can put on my afghan made with worsted weight wool in afghan stitch. Very heavy but not too large.
