My husband says I am the blanket hog. But I think HE is. Anyway, we eventually solved this problem by using two sets of blankets! He has his blankets and I have mine, and now we no longer struggle to stay warm at night

Hehe our problem is the opposite of blanket-hogging! Mr. Bluebell is ALWAYS hot at night, so he shoves all of the comforter over on me, which is nice….for a minute or two. Then I get stifled with like four layers of piled up comforter and then the rest dragging off the bed onto the floor since he can’t have ANY on him. Until the middle of the night when he tries to steal it all. Our covers are always turned 180 degrees and not correlating with the sheets and a pillow on the floor and all sorts of crazy things when we wake up. There is apparently a lot of sleep-struggling but neither of us is entirely sure how it works.

It’s interesting to see all the people with their own blankets! I also have my own private blanket, but somehow that sucker always ends up on HIS side! And, like Mr. Bluebell, he gets really hot, too, and in some weird way he kicks then OFF the bed at the bottom. Another thing, I love the sheets tucked in, Mr. Kiwi needs them loose. And I used to think we were such compatible sleepers!

I am a full blown blanket hog. I grab hold and then “cyclone” in my sleep rendering FI completely helpless. So now I have my only blanket for under the sheets. Luckily neither of us is a bed hog, but our dog (a 15lb boston terrier) is an extreme bed hog. She moves from the foot of the bed to my pillow and then takes over. I often find her laying perpendicular to us (in between us) trying to take up as much space as possible.

He’s the bed hog, I’m the blanket hog. I barely move around in my sleep but he dances in his sleep. It’s SO ANNOYING.

We both like to snuggle before we fall asleep. If I come over to his side of the bed, I move back over to mine once he starts snoring (grr snoring!). When he falls asleep on my side of the bed he doesn’t move though, he just stays in the middle. So we’ve made a cuddling rule, I come over to his side of the bed to cuddle

FI and I aren’t particularly large people, but we were having the hardest time sharing a queen-sized bed. So I got us a king-sized bed and it was the best money I’ve ever spent!

Hahaha… these are funny comments. Miss Bluebell - you cracked me up! Anyway, I am totally the bed hog… I roll towards my SO until I bump into him. When he moves over, I roll more, etc. until he’s about to fall off the bed. Oops! Another issue we have is that he loves sleeping when it’s FREEZING in the room and I can’t get warm enough. No one is really a blanket hog though…

We don’t have much of an issue with blankets or space, it’s the snoring! He doesn’t really snore that bad, but sometimes it does keep me awake. Usually I’ll just nudge him and he’ll shift enough to make it go away. Well, one night, apparently my “nudge” awoke him so suddenly that it startled him, so he got really mad and it turned into this huge argument. Hey, it’s his fault for snoring in the first place.

I don’t spend the night with my FI very often, but when I do, we have some space and cover issues. He has a small full sized bed. We are about the same height, but I always end up with a foot of bed for myself to turn around in and try to get comfortable. He also hates to be hot, so he keeps his room thermostat freezing, which prompts me to pile on the covers.
