The safety is based on coverage, not thickness. Thin sheets are just as monster-resistant as blankets.
Coverage plus weight. I want that guy’s chain mail blanket mounted to an unstuffed quilt. Though I think that was aluminum and I wouldn’t mind something heavier like iron.
Have you tried a weighted blanket?
They’re great until the edge slips over a corner and it pulls itself like chain off you.
That’s what Big monster wants you to think. Do your own research!
Big Monster? I thought they discontinued the BFC?
I want to be made warm by the monsters cuddling. Why is this so hard to achieve?
Just sleep under the bed with them.
Real. Because I have the windows open and sheets off I keep waking up with fresh mosquito bites.
Put a screen in the windows…
Man one time a fly got in somehow despite the flyscreen. Every night it would bzzzzZZZZZZ right in my ear and scare the shit out of me at 2am. It’s not like you can sleep with your head under the blanket or you’ll suffocate.
In the morning I’d search and try to kill it but couldn’t find it. The fucker tormented me for weeks, didn’t eat or drink, only surviving on annoying me. Eventually it died of old age somewhere I’m sure. I still have a grudge against that little shit.
Flies are a real pest where I live and always land on me if I’m outside in the daytime. I bought a Bug-A-Salt gun and it’s the greatest weapon ever for killing flies.
A bad shot will clip their wings and make them vulnerable. A good shot will splat them.
Oh yeah I really wanted one of those, they look kind of fun. But it never arrived after months of waiting so I got a refund and gave up. They don’t sell them in AU
Usually, it is enough to cover part of your body to be safe.
I tend to put one corner over my hips, that’s enough to keep monsters from snatching me off my bed.Introducing sheets.
@emrazz is explaining EXACTLY my problem with summer sleeping!
My perfect sleeping environment is 15-17°C (early 60s in imperial armpit units) with a warm duvet providing maximum comfort.
I’m an “always hot” kind of person. I haven’t used a comforter at all since moving into a new place last autumn. A flat sheet is the minimum, and if I need more I add a throw blanket or two. It’s not the “traditional” way to make a bed, but it works for me.
This is why there are different coolnesses and warmths of blankets. Make sure you buy the correct one for your own needs and preferences.
But how do I find this magical summer blanket?
I got a “cooling” one once. Feels cool to the touch for about 10 seconds then It’s just a regular blanket but scratchy. Wakes you up at night. 0/10.
I’ve never had an issue with IKEA’s coolest blankets. And I get hot. Like my body literally becomes hot during the night.
I feel like the second one gets me. The best sleep I get is in a terrifyingly cold room, snug and cozy under a heavy, warm stack of blankets.
The duality of man.
Miss Leah low-key revealing that she doesn’t have AC.
My wife has this bad.
She wants it to be 60 when it’s 110 degrees out and covered in blankets.
Yet, in the middle of the winter, it needs to be 78 inside all day long
I understand it… but OMG those electric bills are UNREAL
