hate waking up sweating because the morning is not as cold as the night and now I have too many blankets

    Preach!

    With some very specific exceptions, natural fibers are far better.

    Give me a wool blanket or sweater (jumper in your terms I believe).

    Wool is freakin magic.

    My only exception is workout gear - the specialty synthetics are fantastic.

      I love my linnen bedsheets in the summer, expensive as hell, but damn, they have the perfect temp for me.

        Just switched back to mine as well after a short while with some polyester stuff and the difference is just night and day. No sweating, no overbearing heat. The blanket is the same but the linnen sheets just work so much better

        The real preach! I really wish hemp becomes more common for many things, as it used to be.

          No, but the living conditions of many sheep in the wool industry, particularly merino wool, are horrible. Look up mulesing

          The mere act of milking cows or taking eggs from chickens is also not animal cruelty, that doesn’t mean store bought dairy and eggs are free from animal cruelty
