Really hot in bed

Lymphocyte count OK?

Yes, it's 1.7.

Have been referred to a Haematologist for further checks though. Have had MRI and PET scans too - all clear.

As for the smell of sheep's wool, I'm Welsh, I'd be awake all night nursing a boner.

Oh - well therein lies your problem. It's the rubber making you sweat - you're supposed to take your wellies off before you get into bed

We've been under woolen blankets for years now. I hate duvets, when we go away it's a nightmare or we take our own blankets.

Wool duvets are not like other duvets!

They are as thin & light as a blanket

Memory foam mattress by any chance?

Now there's a thought!

I'm usually roasting in bed under the 'summer' duvet all year round whilst the wife wraps herself up and has a heavy blanket on too.

We have a memory foam mattress and it's really comfy but warm...

This thread has not lived up to its title!

In my case, the memory foam mattress makes things worse as it appears to absorb the heat for a while but then retain it. I should lend myself out as a bed warmer...

Memory foam mattresses are terrible for heat modulation. As in, they don't let you cool down as you need to.

Little practical tip from one whose MS causes overheating.

If you sleep with a wife/partner, modify your double bed like this. Get a really thin duvet in double size. Also get a thick duvet in single size. Place both in a double duvet cover, with the thin double duvet over both bedfellows. Put the thick single duvet on partner's side. So partner gets a really thick duvet, while you're cool and comfy.

I thought it may be necessary to pin the duvets together but in practice, it works fine as described. It also ads to nocturnal harmony and is a lot cheaper than the special dual weight duvets you can buy.

You're welcome.

No need for all that malarkey - a sheeps wool duvet will regulate each persons body heat accordingly, so no need for separate bedding. The wool wicks the moisture away, which evaporates so it doesn't create moist breeding grounds for all the nasties living in your bed and therefore reduces the allergens etc.
I don't own any sheeps wool bedding companies - this is purely from personal experience, and I'm not saying it will suit everybody, but if you're losing sleep due to overheating/cold/dual duvet issues - they are definitely worth a try. Most companies will also give you a no quibble trial period. And of course 100% cotton covers.

Now we live in France (same as you I believe) and it's even harder. It's really difficult, fruit and veg go off much quicker so I'd have an hour's drive every three days to stock up.

Yep, I'm stuck here too and the gluten free stuff isn't great.

They've not long introduced the Genius bread range though (took their bloody time) which is really nice fresh gluten free bread from Britain. If you're lucky you can get it at "Carrefive" or "Auchiant".

I have a silk-filled duvet which I use in summer. It's great for giving 'weight' without 'warmth' if that makes any sense.

I can't sleep under just a sheet.

Have you got it sorted? If not go to the doctor and ask for a full blood test.

It seems to have calmed down a bit now. Strange. I am drinking a lot less wine though which I think was partly to blame. I have seen the future and it's cider

I've been like this for a few years. Went to the docs about it who did blood tests and all sorts and found no reasonable explanation for it.

But even when it's cold I'll get really hot in bed and often kick a duvet off while the Mrs is led there shivering!

I'm exactly the same. I honestly boil some nights and can really soak the bed with sweat (lovely I know). Often end up turning my pillows over multiple times and my girlfriend is able to sleep right next to me with a huge thick duvet and full PJs on with no problem at all.

Pretty sure I suffer from Hyperhidrosis anyway (never diagnosed but it's pretty bloody obvious) so clearly that doesn't help as I do seem inclined to sweat generally and I'm perfectly fit and hea;lthy and have a nice outdoorsy job that keeps me in shape.

I sometimes think about going out into the hall and sleeping just on the cold wooden floor but it might not be very comfy.
