Just curious to know what other people's ideal temperature is

18.5 all day long. 19 if it drops below freezing at night.

Zero.

We don't have a thermostat. 🤔

The central heating has an on/off switch and you can't heat the water separately either.

I want to get this changed but DH says it's fine as it is.

I have a digital clock with a temperature setting in my main living space so I use this as a guide. Once it reaches 19° in the evening, I turn the heating off and only put it on if it drops below 17°.

We didn't have a thermostat when we moved into our house. Drove me crazy so we got one of those Hive things fitted.

16 overnight. 18 for a couple of hours in the morning. 16 through the day. 20 after dinner until bedtime (though it rarely reaches this temp and if it does it’s stifling!).

It’s a cottage that’s well insulated, but with stone floors.

Feel very lucky that we can afford to have the heating on.

You may have a point btu I doubt anyone has the thermostat in the fridge or next to the oven!
There are standard places to put them....

@TheBigWangTheory

obviously people don't have them in their fridge, but a LOT of people need extreme examples to understand. A thermostat in a draughty hallway and a thermostat in a sitting room with heavy curtains can't be compared.

These days there really aren't 'standard' places to put them, with so many being portable etc.

22 during the day, 20.5-21 during the night

but we live in a new build and everything is super well insulated and triple windows so doesn't go under 20.5 usually.

22 but it never reaches that. Highest it gets at the moment is around 18c. I just haven't bothered to change the target temp.
