- Tip 1: grab your winter duvet from the closet
- Tip 2: go for a heat source in your bed
- Tip 3: place an extra blanket nearby
- Tip 4: choose the right pajamas
Tip 1: grab your winter duvet from the closet
A lot of people had a summer and a winter duvet. When the days get shorter, it's time to switch them. Are you still cold? Also add the summer duvet. That way, you don't have to heat the room as much.
Tip 2: choose a heat source in your bed
It's likely that your grandparents had a hot-water bottle or a cherry pit pillow. Nowadays, there are also heating pillows and blankets. All these items make sure you don't have to turn on the heating at night. Electric pillows and blankets often have a timer. This way, you can turn them on during the moments you want to. That also saves energy.
Tip 3: place an extra blanket nearby
You can wrap it around you during colder moments. In addition to a blanket, you can also use a quilt or a plaid. You can use them in bed during cold nights, but also take them with you to the living room. That way, you never have to watch a movie in the cold.
Tip 4: choose the right pyjamas
While you probably go for linen pajamas in the summer, a flannel pajama is a better choice in the winter. This fabric keeps you warm and feels very comfortable. In addition to pajamas made of this fabric, there's also flannel bedding. That way, you're never cold again at night.
