We bought a Pendelton wool blanket 6 years ago.

It's warm as all get out. We have a sheet, thermal blanket and the wool one on top.

Pendleton sounds very nice. But last time I checked, prices almost gave me a heart attack.

LL Bean seems to have what you want. I’ve never been disappointed with the quality of their products. https://www.llbean.com/llb/sho...ative-comforter-warm
Made in USA.

Thanks. I'll check out LLBean as well. Looked at the linked product and it shows "Made in the USA of US and imported materials." Tufts and Needles used this as code for "assembled in USA using ingredients from chicom" and so I'm a little leary of that. If assembled in USA of EU or other non-chicom ingredients, that's fine.

I think I've got a half dozen or so good suggestions above. I'll check them out over the next couple of days.

Thanks!!

+1 on layering.

I use a cotton sheet, quilt, and an all wool blanket as the top layer. The one I recently bought is a Klippan brand (50% recycled wool 50% lambswool) from Sweden. Much thicker and warmer than other wool blankets I’ve owned, but not as soft as merino. I got it online at the FJØRN Scandinavian site closeout sale for $50.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with Boll&Branch down alternative duvets?

Looking for some feedback on Midweight vs Ultraweight (heavy), both in terms of weight (ounces) and warmth.

Also, it seems like they offer a non-specified down alternative duvet and a Primaloft duvet. Any insights and recommendations between the two is appreciated.

Not a fan of much weight at all on top. We were looking for an electric blanket a few years ago and were intrigued by mattress warmers. Could not be happier. At night the thermostat goes to 65* and I only use a sheet and a single light thermal blanket with the mattress warmer on low. Heavenly.

Occasionally Eddie Bauer seems to come out with a PrimaLoft duvet/comforter/blanket thing. We have on and it’s great.

LL Bean has a similar one, made in USA of US and imported materials.

The PrimaLoft website shows a few vendors as well. Serena and Lily show three weights as well.

Lastly, maybe not decor friendly or quite big enough depending on bed size, but for a light weight warm blanket, I have a couple Kifaru woobies that are awesome.

My wife and I are putting the dual zone electric mattress pad back on the bed.
Bulky blankets I don’t like and the mattress pad makes getting into bed MUCH nicer. I think it has 5 settings, anything over 3 is like sleeping on a pizza oven to me. I thought she got it on The Zon but the past order search didn’t show anything.
She’s already sleeping otherwise I’d ask. I’ll find out in the morning.
