Question: Quilt for two
This is going to sound like a silly question, but it popped into my head and I wanted to get opinions!
My husband and I have different thermostats. He is very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. My internal thermostat is always stuck on "hot".
I was wondering if doubling up on batting, and/or using flannel backing on HIS side of a quilt is feasible?

if you double up on the batting it is going to be thicker/puffier on one side- which may make a lop-sided quilt- but if you don't mind that give it a try- it would be easy enough to make a backing that was cotton/flannel or even fleece (very warm & cozy) you could also add warm (features) to the top on his side- like flannel, wools or corduroy appliques that would add additional warmth/weight. try a wool batting too- wool is wonderful batting - is lightweight, breaths, tends to (magically) adjust to your warmth.

I'm not too concerned with how it looks. Our bed is NOT on display lol! It would be under a bedspread, so that doesn't matter much. I'm seriously thinking 2 flat sheets and batting. Usually, in cooler weather, he wears sweat pants and sweat shirt and we have a very heavy comforter and he has an extra blanket and I wear a cotton gown and usually kick the blanket off. And he cranks the heat up and he's still cold! We also have a heated mattress pad that he can control his side and I control mine!
Wool batting won't run me out?!!

That is exactly what I do....my internal thermostat is always hot. I have a shared quilt on our bed and a twin size quilt folded at the bottom for my husband to cover with when the ac and fan are making him feel like he is in Alaska.
