down comforter! They are the best. We keep the thermostat at 50 overnight (though it rarely falls that low), and sometimes my husband and i even put a second down blanket on top of the first. Cozy! (though too warm eventually.)

You aren't supposed to keep electric blankets and heated mattress pads on after you get into bed. They are designed to warm the bed. Once you are in your iwn body heat keeps it warm if you have good blankets.

So. Heated mattress pad, turned on 30 min before bed. Down comforter and a thermal bkanket. Pop kid into bed. Mattress pad off. He is good to go.

Eye roll.

Good blankets/duvets and a hot water bottle are all you need.

Turning up the heat is the way to breed weak obese self-indulgent children.
