Sleeping well

September 26th 2007 21:35
I’ve mentioned on my travel blog about how good it’s been over the last couple of days to be back in normal beds, under a normal roof. Tenting has its points, but comfortable sleep isn’t really one of them, though I must admit that the air beds we had were very solid and didn’t have any tendency to lose air during the night.
We actually had a duvet with us as well as a couple of sleeping bags. This ensured that we were kept warm on the colder nights, of which there were an increasing number while we were away.
Previously I’ve found that the duvet covers we’ve had on most of the beds we’ve slept in have been too hot for my liking. I remember years ago hearing that duvets were supposed to be cool in summer and warm in winter. Well, the second part of that is correct, but not the first. I find duvet covers are just too hot in the

summer. At home, we tend to put our duvet away for a good deal of the summer and just go with a single blanket.
I see on the Net that one firm advertises quilted duvet covers. That sounds to me just too much to have on top of me at night, even in the winter. When I was younger I found it difficult to keep warm at night; these days I find it difficult to stay cool enough. Strange that the body makes such an adjustment over the years!
