You can take the fat, fluffy bit out of the duvet and just use the outer duvet cloth on its own, and it still counts. Much cooler.

[Edit] Even with that, it's all limbs out in this weather. Just a tiny corner of duvet cloth draped across carefully as some kind of "makeshift modesty sporran".

Eww, no, the flappy entangling menace does not work for me!

Same reason I find the notion of traditional sheet + blanket to be anathema.

They sell "cooling comforters" that I've personally found to be quite, well, comforting on particular kinds of nights. My wife describes them as "oily" though. (They don't leave a residue, they just have somewhat of a slippery coating.)

Nope it doesn't work now I've just got two fat cats sitting on me.

Seriously they do not take a hint, if this house catches fire I'm going to die.

My cats used to have a habit of peeing on my bed, so they're no longer permitted in my bedroom. Of course just shooing them doesn't work, so I leave the door to my bedroom closed at all times.
