my better half is the chilly one so we have two large throw sized quilts that I made for him for the bed, he is very tall so they are 80" long but only 45" wide. I have the sheet and a very light throw on my side, he has the sheet and his quilts. It works well. In the winter we also have a dual zone electric blanket and he has his side on 7 and I have mine off or on the lowest setting. Some winters we don't bother though, we have very short mild winters.
