Egyptian cotton all the way for me.

I don't dislike sheet shock and I don't think I could tolerate Cosee Home's products.

I gave CH a try with the very first set they had and haven't looked back.

I was having awful night sweats and unable to sleep without turning every 45 minutes due to pain. My lovely supima cotton sheets were rucking up under me and were so wet, heavy and cold I couldn't get to sleep if I got up for a wee.

I was sold on fleece bedding after the first night. I threw the duvet off me when I got up for the loo and by the time I got back into bed the sweat had evaporated. Getting back into fleece compared to cotton back then was heaven.

I tried Velvetsoft and loved the feel of it but found it weirdly cold. The teddy bedding is so cuddly when new but gets more tatty teddy than teddy soft after a few washes. Disappointing, but the worst I've tried was the shaggy bedding. It looked lovely on the show but the reality was more nightmare that dream sleep. I kept having nightmares that Chewbacca was choking me and waking with a face full of polyester pom-pom fronds! I can't have been the only person being choked by Chewy as it ended up in clearance.

Yes, the teddy can go thin and finally bald. It happened on the sleeves of a teddy jacket I had last winter.

Am I the only one whose skin crawls at the thought of fuzzy bedding?
Give me crisp cotton sheets every time

I was a die hard cotton sheet girl. I still use my cotton sheets and duvet cover during summer. Nothing beats the feel of it especially when I have ironed them.

I tried Cozee because my brushed cotton sheets, which I use in the winter were becoming a bit less if you get my point. I tried the velvet soft and I have not looked back.

Too cold for me in the Winter.

I just needed that extra bit or warmth for the winter. Since having Cozee velvetsoft I have not used a hot water bottle since!

My cozee is coming out of the lock up very soon. I'm always cold and once I'd discovered the fleecy covers they were never off the bed, then I got the velvetsoft and I love them. The dog loves them too and from October to April he goes to bed at 8pm every night lol.

They're not for everyone but if you feel the cold it's dreamland.

I changed my bed to velvetsoft last night as I only use a 4.5 tog duvet and it felt a bit chilly the night before in the cottony feel one - supersoft I think. Was lovely and snuggly last night and when it gets really cold I add throws. I don't think I'd go back to heavier duvets.

I only ever used a 4.5tog duvet in winter and a 1 tog one in summer, but I ditched duvets last winter and summer because I was fed up with fighting to get the duvet in the cover every time I changed it. I did resort to using duvet pins which worked ONCE I’d got the duvet inside the cover but it was still a hassle every time I changed the bedding. Life’s too short to fight with a duvet.

Last winter I just slept with a velvet soft duvet cover over me, with a Luna soft sheet over the mattress, and added a Silentnight Sherpa lined throw over it on very cold nights. I was toasty warm and no longer dreaded washing day and the bedding fight.

I’m currently sleeping with just a supersoft duvet cover over me and am warm enough but the velvet soft set is on standby for when the frosts start.

I got my 4.5tog duvet out in June and hung it over my bannisters to air. Showing what a lovely hot summer wasn’t, I put it away mid August. I’ve had my 10.5 tog one on all summer. The two nights it was hot I just used a duvet cover. It’s meant to go down to 5C tonight so I may have to use my cozee home fleece throw over duvet tonight.

Watching Nails Inc. Katy and BA going on about their husbands complaining that their husbands were moaning about them putting the heating on. I’ve noticed this with a few other presenters/BAs. Do these women not realise that we fought for equality back in the 1960s/70s? Yes, if you’re wearing a cropped, shoestring top, shorts and no tights, put warmer clothes on and don’t put the heating on, but if you’re really cold put it on. If it’s still the case when the husband dictates the wife, then thank goodness I’m single.

As these ladies are working for I should imagine a good salary, cost of heating would not be so critical as those living a just a state pension. FYI it’s blinking cold down here on the south coast and I’m wearing trousers, socks, thermal underwear and a jumper. it’s meant to get warmer over the weekend which is why I haven’t bothered to switch the heating on.

Totally agree - I find them unwatchable

Most people accept that women through their biology need more heat. I've been chronically anaemic since my teens and needed an iron infusion earlier this year. The only time I've needed to take layers off and not needed the heat on was the brief time before I went on HRT. By the time I got the layers off I was a sweaty mess that started to freeze as soon as the flush was over and had to get all the layers back on!

Mr. AE's father is quite unpleasant when it comes to his mum's need for heat. He uses a wood-burning stove when he gets chilly but won't allow her to put the central heating on. His bedroom has the chimney running through it so benefits from some warmth but her bedroom is on the other side of the house so gets cold and suffers with a bit of mould if she doesn't keep on top of the condensation. Mr. AE is quite happy to put the heat on when I need it (and when the house needs it) but knows I'm not wasteful. Which is good as there'd be words if he was like his dad.

He goes out during the day a lot so she just puts the central heating on when he's not there. I'm not a fan of this kind of spite-revenge as she doesn't really need it on in the day and in the end they're both paying for it. They should just be sensible and put it on in the evenings. They're in their late 70s!

My mum, a quiet feminist, always pushed me to vote and always pushed me to be independent (though I fell into the trap of becoming dependent on my ex due to his 'personality disorder' and my youthful stupidity). I suspect many women still make this mistake. The presenters probably earn more than their partners so can pay for the heating to go on. Even if they don't out-earn partners they have the right to put the heat on if they want it.

With the cost of fuel and the climate concerns people should put more clothes on rather than slob around the house semi-naked with the heat on full whack (like my nephew and his partner do then expect their grandparents to pay their bills!). They also have no problem throwing everything into the tumble dryer despite someone being home during the day and having a nice big washing line. I wonder who will pay the bills when the grandparents pass? It won't be me!

I hate the colder weather as I have Raynaud's and other circulation problems. I wander around like the Michelin Man with my thermal socks, leggings, fleece joggers, vest, short-sleeve thermal, long-sleeve thermal, t-shirt, jumper and fleece jacket. I wear Fitflop trainers during the day as they actually help me walk better but sheepskin boots when I sit down in the evenings. I've had to revert to buying Little Hotties (the hands version as they're cheaper, you get more and they last longer) and putting them in my boots. Despite getting them relatively cheap when on offer in Costco I don't waste them. I put one in one boot and swap it through the evening. The other gets kept in its bag with a Klippit sealing it in a Ziplock bag. If I can keep them fairly airtight I can get up to 5 days use from one pack. I can't walk properly with them in my shoes but I can't walk properly anyway

I'm dreading all the washing and drying this extra layering causes. And the extra electricity it takes. I'd really love to be more like my nephew but I no longer have grandparents to pay the bills. I don't like the waste I get with the Little Hotties but I don't like needlessly burning fuel either. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. I'm not freezing again this winter, though.

I live in a very cold house and I choose not to use the central heating. It would heat rooms that I don't even go in. I have two pellet stoves which are fairly inexpensive to run. I couldn't do without my sheepskin boots and electric blankets. It's so much better to live alone and please yourself about the heating. No fun to have to suffer a bossy husband who lays down the law. (I know that not all husbands are like this.)

Who'd put up with a bossy husband!!! Mr CC moans for Scotland but it's all talk and he doesn't go on too much with the heating as he knows I feel the cold. If he really wants to make a point he'll come through and watch telly in his pants We're going back to the house in a couple of weeks for the winter and we don't have central heating, just a wood burner and electric heaters as there's no gas and oil is too costly so I have to stock up on heated blankets, woolly socks, slippers and all warm things. A hot water bottle is a necessity. Not that keen on the winter.

I think we are in for a long winter. Unless we get a couple of decent weeks back end of September into October.

It’s turning the clock back last Sunday in October dark mornings and long long dark nights. It depresses me. I look forward to the third week in January when you can start to see the days lengthen out.

I had a row today with OVO so I have switched to Octopus Energy. The standing charge even on fixed for electricity is 71 pence per day that works out at £21 per month for nothing before I even use electric. The call handler spoke so fast that twice I had to tell her to slow down. Complaint has gone in - nothing will be done as I am leaving anyway. Just disgusted with rip off fuel prices
