I'm the hot one in our bed so we have single duvets with different tog values. If we get a hot summer I usually remove my duvet and just have the duvet cover over me whilst the husband snuggles into his 7.5tog or whatever!
Added bonus is that there's no duvet stealing in the night anymore. smile

www.duvettalk.co.uk/partner-duvets.html You can buy a duvet with two different togs from as low as 2.5 (like a blanket) up to 15 - costs about £60 but would be worth it to have a duvet that suited you both

Why not have 2 duvet covers - you under one (complete with duvet ) him laying on top of that but with another duvet covering him.

Do as they do in Scandinavian countries and have two single duvets, folded lengthways on the bed they look tidy..... but instead of duvet in his cover use it on its own or insert another light sheet or blanket, whatever weight he likes

DH used to roll over in the night and roll himself up in the duvet leaving me with nothing - so we had separate single duvets for over 20years. However after I injured my knee I cannot stand the weight of a duvet and longer so use a lightweight fleece blanket while he still has the duvet.

If it is the look of the room that bothers you - you could get a quilt or bedspread. However most important is that everyone feels comfortable

Even better have two rooms! I like a cosy bedroom whilst DH likes cool so we each have our own room and he turns the thermostat in his right down whilst mine is set to my liking. The duvets, the same. I have never slept better in 52 years of marriage since we took to this system! (He does have visiting rights!grin)

Cor, he's hot stuff Mrs Pickle grin
Why not cover the bed with the duvet during the day, then the bedroom still looks good, and for the night, roll it up and stash on a chair, leaving him with a sheet and you with a single duvet?

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?
