Keeping Warm in the Winter
With the temperature dropping, it’s more difficult to keep warm
outside the bed, let alone inside it. A nice bed starts becoming your
best friend. Some people have a more difficult time sleeping because
having the heater on all night helps keep you warm, but warm enough to
burn a hole in your wallet. With that, there are a few alternatives
that can really help you stay warm and reduce your cost.
Simple
Flannel Sheets. One of the best-kept secrets, which are wide open in the Midwest and northern climates, is flannel sheets. The soft fabric, which is associated with lumberjacks and plaid patterns are incredibly soft, and comforting.
Those plaid patterns are now replaced with solid colors, stripes and respectable prints that wont embarrass you if you decide to have company. Make sure they are 100% cotton for quality, and are already hypo-allergenic for those who see that as important.
Yarn died fabric is good and ignore the thread count, and pay attention to the flannel fabric rating. Accept nothing less than a five or above. Oh and if you are thinking about flannel pajamas, the answer is yes.
Sophisticated:
Down Comforter. If you have a little extra this year, and want to have something for years to come, get one of these. A down comforter is the best thing to keep warm in the winter. They have goose, duck and Hyper and Hypoallergenic.
The goose and the duck are the best, you can go to sleep with a t-shirt and short, or less if you like, and you will be warm, and in some cases hot. Goose is really for the winter as it is the best for really cold temperatures.
Duck is good for spring, and if need be the summer, or if you tend to sleep with a warm body temperature. The feathers are that great. Why do you think those birds are hangout while we are all bundled up.
The caution is that these two can be cause real allergic reaction, so the hyper and hypo are great alternatives for those who have allergies. Make sure to get a high thread count and if possible a feather bed underneath. If you cant get out of bed during weekends, its not my fault, I told you so.
Classic
The fireplace. Nothing says winter and comfort like a fireplace. Most of us grew up near one, in our home or visiting a home with one and second only to the rain, is perfect to keep warm in the winter. Just as pie, cinnamon or turkey fills the home, so does that crackling fire as you close your eyes and relax from the day’s stressful adventures.
Most condo’s and houses these days don’t have a real one so a gas or special fuel variety such as nu-flame as a replacement. If you are to get one of these, the heat is nowhere near a real fireplace, but the view is spectacular.
It's as if you are burning the precious blue crystals that Heisenberg made himself. Don’t worry; you won’t be breaking any hearts, just warming them. Look for a wall mounted one for the room, they are great.
