...at least if you are in the Northern hemisphere!

A small recommendation if you are at a point where you are replacing any of your bedding--this year I learned that wool duvet inserts are a thing! I haven't been a fan of down, so I've been using a down alternative (read: polyester) comforter insert for several years. I didn't love it. This month I determined it was time to replace it, so I invested in a wool comforter insert. It is so nice! Somehow it is both warmer and more breathable. It does have a weight that is nice without being oppressive, which I tend to like. 

Your mileage may vary if you live somewhere warmer, or keep your home warmer, etc. I got mine from Woolino, but IKEA also sometimes has affordable versions. There are also nicer ones out there!

As someone who lives in New England and keeps my home on the cooler side, my bed layers are:

• cotton percale sheets (super strong preference for percale over sateen or even linen, I like the crispness a lot)
• wool duvet in linen or cotton percale cover (rotate a couple)
• cotton blanket (primarily protection against cat hair and cat accidents, because it's easier to toss a cotton blanket in the laundry than wrestle with the entire duvet setup)
• wool blanket across the foot of my bed and feet (sometimes unfolded when its very cold)
• cat somewhere on top of everything
