Time for some rambling:

What part of the bed cover keeps you warm?

Back to the question in a minute. When my dad was a boy, him and his brothers bed room was part of the back porch that had been closed in. No heat what so ever. Just the bed cover. When I was a boy my bedroom was of the northwest corner of the house. There was a porch on the west side and I left the window next to the porch open year round.
Again the only heat was the bed cover.

After I married and moved out, we never heated our bedroom. The window is open year round. If one of us is sick, we made a bed in the front room for the sick one for a few days, but the bedroom is never heated. Fresh air is always in there.
The colder it is the more cover on the bed.

Back to the question, what part of the cover keeps you warm?
I have read, in more than one place, but is maybe folk lore, that it isn't the cover
over you, but its the cover that hangs over the side on the bed that keeps you warm.
I have to disagree with that. When it gets real cold I pull the cover that hangs over and tuck it under me. In other words I roll up in the cover on my side of the bed. I love the winter time here in the south.

My wife doesn't let me keep a bedroom window open when it gets "cold" outside, but we do keep the heating vent in there closed so it stays "cool". As for the bed covers, as far as I know they just act as insulation, and slow down the heat lost. So it would be part of the covers that are near you that allows you to get warm and stay warm.
