I used to sleep in a lightweight sleeping bag that I rolled and left at the head of the bed during the day. Maybe that's a better solution for you?

Now I just wear a lot of clothes to bed.

Not exactly sexy, but functional, and a lot less off-putting than my icy feet on his legs :)

My late DH was a Boy Scout Master, and had one little boy about 12 who told me that he had arthritis so bad he didn't sleep well, but found that the even warmth of a down sleeping bag let him rest better at night. This was even better than a down comforter he told me. His parents had tried everything but since using his Scout sleeping bag, his nights were more restful.
I think he had to roll it up and keep it in a closet during the day.

We just use different quilts to cover each other at night. His is light and mine is heavier. Most times he uses nothing. Your need may change later on. He used to be always cold and me hot, and now is the other way around.

Works well for us :)
This also works for us. I leave my side on for a little while, but my husband usually turns if off after the bed is warm. I sometimes put an extra throw just on my side of the bed. We normally use a down comforter 12 month of the year.

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.

I have a heated mattress with duel controls and it's great. I usually turn it on 1/2 hour before going to bed and then turn it off after getting in. Sounds like that would be a solution for hyou

I have the opposite problem with me being the hot one. I made my husband a bed runner to go over his feet. If your feet are warm then so are you.

We had the same problem but menopause took care of it. Now HE is looking for extra coverage because I have my head in the freezer and all doors and windows open. lol

I know that does not answer your question. You could try that- butting batting pieces together can be easily done. Not sure if it would be noticeable.

Based on my initial comment - if you don't make the pattern directional, you could just flip it when menopause hits.
