How many blankets do you have on your bed? What type of sheets? (Fleece, cotton, silk etc.?)

Depends on the time of year. Right now the sheets are cotton, but will soon be flannel. We have two blankets on the bed and a quilt. I often have an afghan over just me as well.

I put flannel sheets on the bed about six weeks ago (when we got all that dreary rain and chilliness) and will keep them on til April sometime. I just took our snowflake sheets off to wash and put on our purple flannel sheets. We have the electric blanket on top of the sheets with a comforter on top of the electric blanket.

Goosedown duvets with 100% cotton duvet covers. One of Jamie's acrylic blankets is folded at the foot of my side of the bed, but he hasn't been using it. I've got some flannel duvet covers for really "Arctic" weather, but very rarely put them on the bed.

We have polyester-fill duvets for warm weather.

I have three on mine right now. One cotton sheet, one soft blanket (not sure what it's made of?), and one goosedown duvet. :)

Right now we have cotton sheets, a blanket, and a duvet on the bed. Usually Rob tosses the duvet onto me at night though - not cold enough yet for him to want it on him too :lol3: I have to try and hide the blanket under the duvet because Nero and Hoshi will suckle the blanket at night and knead right through it.

400-thread count non-bleached egyptian cotton sheets. The three sets have lasted FOREVER, we LOVE them.

Two cotton blankets, and Gary has one really soft polyster throw; I have two and a cotton throw. :lol3:

We had to give up the goose down duvet. :( It was soooooo warm, but once I developed the allergies, it had to go. :(

Right now we just have a cotton sheet and a regular bedspread. In a few days we'll switch over to flannel sheets though, it's getting a little chilly

I use flannel sheets all year long. I find them to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I can't stand any other kind now. I also don't like having multiple blankets, so I just have one thick down comforter. When it gets really cold I'll have to add a second comforter, though. I prefer to wear more clothing rather than add more blankets. I usually sleep in a sweatshirt and sweatpants, and wool socks. Sometimes a down vest :lol3:.

Just switched the cotton sheets for flannel. We currently have one light quilt and a heavy flannel quilt. We have an extra duvet to add when it gets really cold.

Right now we have 2 blankets and our "summer weight" sheets.  One blanket my Aunt crochet and the other is a mid-weight quilt. 

I'm not quite ready to break out the flannel sheets and winter comforter.  They feel great; but it hasn't been quite that cold yet.

Cotton percale fitted sheet and a very lightweight, soft bedspread.

Night sweats would kill me otherwise, poor DH

One blanket, its fuzzy and has cats on it. We have cotton sheets on the bed right now. I like to have jersey knit sheets on the bed normally, but have to get new ones.

I have sheets made from bamboo, they are nice and soft. I have a soft fuzzy blanket under the comforter, and a blanket for the kitties, I would have to cover my bed in them to stop them from getting on the comforter, but they do enjoy snuggling on the blanket, sometimes they try to see how many can fit on the blanket together.
