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

    You may be suffering from synthetic fibers, check your clothing and bedding for polyester. It has very poor characteristics for comfort and feeling hot and sweaty is a key characteristic. This isn’t some hippie shit, you’ll genuinely be much more comfortable in real non-plastic fibres and you’ll significantly reduce your microplastic generation and exposure as a direct byproduct.

    After abandoning plastic fibers, I can’t even put on a polyester jumper in winter without overheating and getting sweaty. Real organic fibres are so much more comfortable and only marginally more expensive.

      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.

            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
