Sleeping arrangements!

It's driving me mad!
We used to sleep under a cosy kingsize duvet, like any other 'normal' couple, but in the last few years, my dear OH insists on sleeping under a rag tag arrangement of sheets, as he gets too hot under even a 4.5 tog duvet.
I'm too cold sleeping under sheets, so have resorted to a single duvet!
We have recently revamped our bedroom and we both decided to 'try again', so I bought some new, matching bedding. Oh joy...he didn't last the night under it! Even with the heating off and the window open!

Do any of you have such weird arrangements?
Any solutions?

Or are we doomed to share a bed with diverse coverings?

I purchased a wonderful Duvet a couple of years ago.
One half was 3.5 tog and the other about 10.5, perfect for me who loves a lightweight Duvet and Hubs who prefers to be warmer .
I cannot for the life of me remember where I found it , but it may be worth an online search

Get a silk duvet: 2.5 tog but so light you hardly know it is there. Good for winter and summer as it lets the air flow. Silk is a wonderful material.

We have 2 single duvets and we are now both happy.

DH and I bought two single beds that we pushed together and had separate duvets....I put a bedspread on the top so it looked like one bed......I was accused of breathing on him,being on his side of the bed and tacking all the duvet plus snoring when we shared a double bed and duvet ......the fact that most of the night I was awake, sleeping on the edge on the bed with no duvet was apparently all lies!

My problem is not being cosy in bed. It is when the air in the bedroom is cold. My husband likes a cold bedroom and I am the opposite. My nose gets really cold and I keep waking up if I put my head under the covers.

Hear hear.
With me it is my head mostly, so I put on a hat at about 3am.

We use a double duvet, 10.5 tog, and only recently changed from 3 tog. I always used to be the cold one with icy feet. But now , I am always too warm, so between 2 and three in the morning, I throw off my duvet half and pull up a very lightweight fleece throw. Now DH is still nice and cosy, and I am warm but not hot.

Two beds or separate rooms.

A 6ft zip together bed with two separate duvets!

I sleep on the window side and invariably DH opens the window when he goes to bed and I nearly shut it again before I settle down!

Diddy1 Yes, the first time I stayed in a Scandinavian home, there were two single duvets, rolled up like 'sausages' side by side. Looked so tidy and inviting.

I'd probably fold mine in half lengthwise, though, to make a smooth surface on the bed.
