Anyone use two separate duvets on the one bed?

DH runs v hot, me cold. We normally use our woollen baavet duvet but it's only about 10tog and it's also not quite big enough so I have to wake up to turn over to tuck back under IYGWIM?

We tried a 13.5 lovely soft, fluffy duvet last night and I slept like a baby- DH woke up and had to towel down and sleep under a dressing gown such was his night sweats. I think it's as much the fluffiness which means it forms right to your body as the tog.

So, we need two separate duvets - I want a light and fluffy one (down maybe) and he needs a synthetic flat one. This is why a his and hers duvet won't work, as they are both the same type. I do sometimes have blankets too but as the duvet isn't big enough they still don't help.

Anyone use two separate duvets on the one bed? Is it as unromantic as DH fears? Is it best to have two doubles rather than singles? Annoyingly we have no double bedding so will have to go and buy some covers too.

It’s great. Best is you ‘size up’, so two queen duvets on a kingsise, rather than two singles. That way they can overlap and there’s no cold patch in the middle to kill romance.

That's pretty good advice, actually. We have double duvets each on a super-king bed.

Being totally frank about it, the separate duvets are far less of an impediment to sexytime than the dogs who insist on separating us.

We've got two separate duvets on our bed as both sides are separately adjustable. I must admit, it never looks as nice or tidy as a single quilt but who cares, it's just for us. I guess you could always top the bed off with a throw of some sort to make it look tidier during the day if you wanted to.

Both of you being comfortable, and having a restful night's sleep, is far more important.
