I feel like the second one gets me. The best sleep I get is in a terrifyingly cold room, snug and cozy under a heavy, warm stack of blankets.
The duality of man.
My wife has this bad.
She wants it to be 60 when it’s 110 degrees out and covered in blankets.
Yet, in the middle of the winter, it needs to be 78 inside all day long
I understand it… but OMG those electric bills are UNREAL
I have this magic blanket my friend made me before she died, idk how she did it but that blanket always is juuuuuust the right level of warmth. It’s kept me warm through freezing cold winters in Michigan and cool but covered in its breathable fabric in the heat of many an Arizona summer. I’ll never know how that works, but I do know I’ll never go anywhere overnight without it.
and yes, it’s super soft
I too, choose this man’s blanket.
😂 not a man but I’m okay with sharing, just take careful care when you’re using it, it’s irreplaceable ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Actually blessed magic blanket
I bet it’s just wool
Could be, I don’t know shit about fabric.
Wasn’t meant to be a dig, most people think wool just keeps you warm, but it’s absolutely magic. Keeps you warm in the winter, cool in the summer. It’ll even keep you dry. When it gets wet, it creates an exothermic reaction to warm you up which creates a sort of runaway effect to keep drying itself. It does run out of effectiveness, but plunging into a frozen lake for instance, it gives you like a half hour headstart on warmth/survival. After that, it requires removing it and drying/external heat but still. It’s a godamn fabric. It’s insane.
That said, I’ve got two questions, ones for you: It’s got a tag right? Unless someone you know actually made it.
Second question, are vegans allowed to use wool?
Are you asking if they actually know their friend?
Nah, I was drinking a bit, so probably some typos in there
Oh don’t worry, I didn’t take it as a dig. That’s genuinely cool that wool works like that ( ‿) Anyway, here’s your answers:
It doesn’t have a tag, thankfully, I’m absolutely disgusted by tags and the thought of seeing or touching one makes me feel like I’m gonna hurl (but that’s a whole other story). While I do get someone to remove the tags from my things for me, this one never had one, because my friend made it for me shortly before she died. I’m not too worried about not being able to identify the material though, I’m happy to know it’s probably wool and also to be able to think there’s a little bit of magic in it from the love she put into it when making it for me.
I asked my vegan sibling about using wool and they said they’ll personally use wool, they just won’t eat it 😄
LMAO fair on the vegan question.
It could also straight up be the magic in the sense that how some fabrics are weaved can help with cooling/heating.
My brother use to rip the tags off his shirts and a lot of the time would take a little hole from the shirt with it.
Thanks for sharing!
The safety is based on coverage, not thickness. Thin sheets are just as monster-resistant as blankets.
That’s what Big monster wants you to think. Do your own research!
Big Monster? I thought they discontinued the BFC?
Coverage plus weight. I want that guy’s chain mail blanket mounted to an unstuffed quilt. Though I think that was aluminum and I wouldn’t mind something heavier like iron.
Have you tried a weighted blanket?
They’re great until the edge slips over a corner and it pulls itself like chain off you.
I want to be made warm by the monsters cuddling. Why is this so hard to achieve?
Just sleep under the bed with them.
Real. Because I have the windows open and sheets off I keep waking up with fresh mosquito bites.
Put a screen in the windows…
Man one time a fly got in somehow despite the flyscreen. Every night it would bzzzzZZZZZZ right in my ear and scare the shit out of me at 2am. It’s not like you can sleep with your head under the blanket or you’ll suffocate.
In the morning I’d search and try to kill it but couldn’t find it. The fucker tormented me for weeks, didn’t eat or drink, only surviving on annoying me. Eventually it died of old age somewhere I’m sure. I still have a grudge against that little shit.
Flies are a real pest where I live and always land on me if I’m outside in the daytime. I bought a Bug-A-Salt gun and it’s the greatest weapon ever for killing flies.
A bad shot will clip their wings and make them vulnerable. A good shot will splat them.
Usually, it is enough to cover part of your body to be safe.
I tend to put one corner over my hips, that’s enough to keep monsters from snatching me off my bed.Introducing sheets.
This is why there are different coolnesses and warmths of blankets. Make sure you buy the correct one for your own needs and preferences.
But how do I find this magical summer blanket?
I got a “cooling” one once. Feels cool to the touch for about 10 seconds then It’s just a regular blanket but scratchy. Wakes you up at night. 0/10.
I’m an “always hot” kind of person. I haven’t used a comforter at all since moving into a new place last autumn. A flat sheet is the minimum, and if I need more I add a throw blanket or two. It’s not the “traditional” way to make a bed, but it works for me.
@emrazz is explaining EXACTLY my problem with summer sleeping!
My perfect sleeping environment is 15-17°C (early 60s in imperial armpit units) with a warm duvet providing maximum comfort.
