Can you sleep well without a blanket? (sopuli.xyz)

For me: noticed, even if it is not too cold, but too warm, I need a blanket to fall asleep. The weight of the blanket makes it more comfortable, I guess? 🛌

No. Even in the summer during a heatwave I was sleeping with a 15 tog duvet because I need the weight, until I got a weighted blanket which is much more comfortable. I can fall asleep on the couch without a blanket though which is weird, just not in bed.

I can sleep on the couch if I’m dressed in bed I’m usually just in underwear.

Do weighted blankets retain heat all? I love blankets, but it has been difficult to use anything more than a thin sheet (and even that is often stretching it) when it is crazy hot outside and the upstairs isn't cooled well by the AC.

They seem pretty good for not trapping too much heat, but we have quite cool summers here so what I would consider an unbearably hot day is probably different to most people. I could comfortably sleep in it under 24°C, anything above that and I can't sleep no matter what type of blanket I have anyway. There are cooling ones made of cotton that might work if you're in a hotter climate but they cost a fair bit more.
