I have been lying to you all just a bit. Like, you may think Tom and I are perfectly compatible in bed. Not so. Our bed is a war zone. The man is a complete pervert!
For instance:
I have one thin, beaten into submission pillow. He has three big fluffy pillow for his head and one for his feet (or legs or something - who knows? - it's under the covers somewhere.
I like one light acrylic blanket. He likes to be weighted down by multiple, heavy, heavy blankets & quilts & knitted wool afghans.
I can't bear any covers over the top of my shoulders, even if I'm cold. He sleeps with the covers pulled way up, and a tshirt over his entire face so he practically disappears.
I must have the bottom sheet firmly tucked in. I check it for tautness every night before I get into bed, jic. He? Kicks the bottom sheet out immediately and sleeps with his feet sticking out. Yes, he covers his face and breathes through his feet.
I get in bed and close my eyes to sleep. He massages his head and feet with a heated vibrator thing (not one of "our" vibrators); he enthusiastically fluffs all his pillows; he takes 3 mg of cherry flavored melatonin; he puts fresh water into his nightstand water bottle; he puts lavender oil on his upper lip, sometimes he sprinkles lavender essence onto his top pillow; finally he lays down, pulls up his multiple blanket layers and sticks his feet out. Lately he has been adding two bath towel to the top of his mix, just for the extra weight.
TG for kingsized beds! In the morning we can just pull one big quilt over the whole two-sided mess so it looks like a real bed. Even if his side is thicker & fluffier than mine.
So weird.

I think I may be a combination of the two of you.
I have a pillow for my head, slightly fluffy and one to rest my knee on. I sleep on my sides, and I place the pillow under my knee - sort of between my legs. When I roll over, I bring the pillow to the other side. If I wind up on my back, it's still under at least one knee.
I don't cover my head, but I will stick my feet out. We have a down comforter on us, but if we get too hot, we pull it down.
We only sleep on sateen sheets. They are very similar to flanel, but not as heavy. Very soft, very comfy.
I will start with the covers over my shoulders, but it doesn't stay that way.
So you could sleep in the middle. If we ever did a threesome or something.
LOL! That is so funny, Swami. Reminds me of my son, who does the whole OCD "make sure everything is in order," before we hit the lights.
I like my feet being out, the blankets up to my chin, and one small pillow (under my head).
Maybe I should try what Tom does. :-)
I like my feet out if I'm hot, but I stick them out the side so that the sheet is still tucked in at the bottom.
DH gets cold, so he likes lots of covers.
Lavender? Cherry melatonin? Tom's wierd. *grin*
LOL. This must be pretty common.
Me: untucks bottom of bed, pulls blanket up over my face, tries to have as many blankets on me as possible.
Michelle: Hospital corners in place, blanket below her shoulders and really just prefers the sheet on her instead of the blankets.
Me: climbs in bed, kisses Michelle goodnight and then I close my eyes. Please don't talk. This is my alone time in my head.
Michelle: does whatever it is that takes her so long in the bathroom, puts on cherry chaptstick, adjusts pillows so they are just right, talk talk talk.
So if I ever come to your house I should sleep with Michelle?
Oh. I have learned not to bother talking most of the time. Tom will fall asleep right in the middle of a conversation.
Also? Since he is so fully covered I have several times had a deep, meaningful conversation with the pillow lump on his side of the bed only to suddenly realize that he isn't even there! He went back downstairs on some mission while I was in the bathroom.
*snort*
And yes, you can sleep with Michelle as long as I get to sleep with Tom.
That won't work. If you sleep with Tom I'd have to kill you.
Sorry, but that's the way it is.
Me: Minimal covers, but must be covered.
Him: Piles of covers, even if he's hot
Me: 1 good pillow
Him: 1 good, 1 skinny pillow
Me: kicks feet out the side like Seana if I'm hot
Him: Stays bundled up like Mr. Swami
Me: puts on light lip balm, moisturizes legs, feet & arms.
Him: takes off glasses
Me: Takes about 30 minutes to fall asleep, sometimes more.
Him: Takes 5 minutes to fall asleep
LOL. That's quite a process he goes thru.
I used to have two pillows but got rid of one. It's a big pillow though. DH likes his thin pillow. I also MUST sleep with my body pillow.
I'm one of those crazy "feet out the side" peeps. I hate having my feet weighed down by a tucked in sheet.
I sleep with a sheet and quilt in the summer time, a sheet and comforter in the winter. If I get too hot, I'll toss the quilt/comforter and just use the sheet. That's when all the cats are around me, stifling me with their body heat LOL.
If it's really cold, I'll pull the sheet over my shoulders, but within a minute, I'm too hot so off it goes.
It takes me forever to fall asleep, most nights. I swear, DH starts snoring within 30 seconds. Kills me!
