1. Regular blankets...
I have 4 comforters on my bed. Something about electric blankets just doesn't sit right with me.

4. Neither
We just got an electric mattress pad with separate controls.

It rocks!

7. Electric fan
It's a sweltering 68 in my bedroom. It's 18 degrees outside. May open a window, yet.

8. Down comforter.
A light one for summer with AC and a heavy one for winter. I am in Chicago. Thankfully still on the lightweight one, but think I need to get the heavy one out soon.

11. menapause
The hot flashes eliminate the need for lots of blankets, regular or electric.

12. Both!
We need to preheat the bed before getting in because we only heat one room (living room) in winter. Once in, the electric blanket is turned off and the blankets and a medium weight comforter takes over. Our dog helps heat the bed on cold night, too.

14. Siberian Goose Down comforter...
I hate electric blankets-- always thought I'd wake up on fire or with third degree burns, not to mention the elctromagnetic forces....
