We have the same problem, and I have an extra queen sized quilt that I fold in half lengthwise and put over the top of me each night. It "lives" folded neatly on the cedar chest beside the bed during the day.

When we had the same problem: i wore ragg wool sox to bed every nite, even summer, added sweat pants/long sleeve shirts as needed; we discovered heated mattress pads with dual controls (divine, we are on our second one, they allow us to keep the house at 65 at night); when i made our quilt for our queen size bed, I made it king sized so no more cold butts hanging out on either side!
Now, thanks to menopause and 5 years of anti-estrogenes i could usually live in the freezer, but that's another tale <G>.

Just be careful with dual controls on heated mattress pads or electric blankets. I mixed the controls on the electric blanket, and needless to say I was cold all night, and he was HOT. We still laugh about that after all these yrs.

I have similar problem. Made a quilt to fit only half the width of our bed and I use it when I need added warmth. Also made a slightly larger version quilt that I toss over him when he lies down for a short nap. Sometimes I double my quilt lengthwise to give me added weight. The heavier weight reminds me of my childhood and my grandmother's heavy quilts which were old blankets covered with fabric and tied.

OOOPS >>>> meant to quote Lacelady:
".......We used to be the same when we first got married. I solved it by laying all the blankets on top of one another, and hand stitched a line down the middle from top to bottom. Then I folded some of the 'pages' from on side to the other. Hey Presto, I had more layers and he had fewer."
Now that is clever :D
