2 XL Twin comforters on King bed for different temps?

| My partner and I like very different temperatures when we sleep. I like a warm, heavy comforter all year round, he likes just a sheet or quilt. We're finally getting a king bed and my solution is to get two separate twin XL comforters - a warm, heavy one for me, and a very light one for him. Has anyone tried this? Does this work? My master plan is to lay a king-sized quilt or coverlet on top of the entire bed for a more seamless look. Thoughts? |

| My MIL swears by this- says it saved her marriage. I don't feel the need for it, but I've slept in that set-up and it works well. Not sure about sizes though. |

| I have a very light silk duvet for the whole king bed and then I put a down throw under it on my side. No blanket. The width of two twin comforters I think will be too much. |

| Unless they're tied together, you'll either have a puddle of comforter between you or they'll slide off during the night. |

nope. We have two separate covers. I also use a weighted blanket. DH does not. They don't fall off at all, nor do they end up bunched up in the middle. It works great for us. We also got a split king mattress. Those two things combined (and my ear plugs) have allowed me to sleep so much better in the 23 years we've been together. |

| I sleep under a twin blanket (because why bother with a blanket-weight i.e. light comforter when a simple blanket will do?) and my wife sleeps under heavier comforters that are variously twin-size or full-queen-size, sharing a king bed. Whatever the geometry, we sleep better than we would under a single king comforter. Laundry is easier too. |

| We have two twin duvets on our king. I fold them in half, and we each take one side. We do share a flat sheet underneath the duvets, though. |

Yes same the best. It may not look as nice but no more fighting for covers |

| We share a comforter, then i sleep with a huge heating pad (17” x 33”). Depending on how hot I want things to be, I’ll sleep on top of it, under it, with it draped across my back etc. |
