    Our boiler was broken last night and I would have felt like freezing to death without the extra warmth - I do have to poke him to make him stop snoring regularly though :p

    A hot water bottle keeps you as warm as toast and!, there's no poking involved!.....:D

    Don't their claws hurt when they spoon you?

    Nah. They snuggle up behind and rest their warm, furry muzzles in the the crook of my neck...better than a scarf :)

    I'm beginning to see why you're single.

    I'm fully aware why I'm single - Mr petrified of intimacy - which I'm getting some help with in the new year....when I can afford it.

    It's a little like when your baby vomits or craps on you..... you don't mind so much when it's someone you love.

    That's what I tried to tell her! But she never called again. :(

    I prefer to share a bed. She is better than an electric blanket, doesn't snore and doesn't fidget. Mind you when she farts the duvet hits the ceiling. That's not good.

    I don't like sharing a bed, but only because I get so hot when I sleep that I normally like to have the windows open and sleep ontop of the duvet and generally people prefer the opposite.

    Me too.
    I am a light sleeper and also, at 39, have unusually minimal experience of sharing a bed. When I have, I failed to sleep each time.

    Presumably one gets used to the movement and prescence of another person.
    However I suspect I would become so tired and ratty by trying, that the bed sharing and relationship itself would not need to continue anyway.

    That's what works for us. ;)

    We do the big bed, 2 duvets and a throw. That makes plenty of bed covers to hide under should you be ambushed at an unexpected moment too:o Cats are one thing, kids quite another.

    where do you think the warmth comes from?

    When me and my girlfriend first started sharing a bed it was a nightmare. She was used to a massive bed all to herself and had the room to wriggle as much as she wanted. One time i even woke up to find she had done a 180degree turn in the night and her feet were where her head should have been.
    I was often woken in the night by her arm whacking me in the face or her knee in my back. It got to the point where we would jokingly put a line of pillows between us.

    She still pinches the covers but i'm not waking up battered and bruised any more.

    Nothing nicer than spooning all night. I can't sleep face to face though.

    Hey, if you can afford a three bedroom place for two people, knock yourself out. Doesn't seem like a realistic solution for many, though.

    I used to hate sharing a bed but its honestly not too bad. We have our own quilts as we're both quilt stealers and luckily neither of us are huggers at night. I think you just get used to it, I miss him being there when hes not.

    Obviously that was in an ideal situation. Let's get a boyfriend first - highly unlikely in gay world so until then I shall revel in my own double bed

    Might sound a bit cheesy but I hate the feeling of having a double-bed to myself.
    When the missus is away from home I usually end up sleeping on the sofa cos the bed feels kinda big and cold and empty.

    Spooning is heavenly :D
    Me and my boyfriend don't live together yet but usually I'll go to his or he'll come to mine. At first he was trying it on every night but he soon discovered he wouldn't be getting it quite as much as he'd like ;) (well what can you expect when you live with your parents)

    He's now bed trained ;)

    I love sharing a bed with my wife. We snuggle up and spoon all night.

    If you get a king sized bed you can enjoy spooning for a bit and then move to your own side for a good night's sleep.

    I normally go to bed earlier than the OH so he'll snuggle me when he comes to bed. I am fast asleep so don't notice :o:D

    I can't fall asleep all 'cuddled up' though, makes me feel very claustrophobic :eek:

    With it being so cold, it has been very handy having a lovely warm bed partner!
