Tips for Staying Warm at Night in the Winter

Cash for your car

We’ve all felt it. The heat of summer quickly gives way to the chill of fall. Before you know it, winter is pushing forward. So, what can you do to help stay warm indoors and out during those cold winter months? Read on to see our tips for staying warm at night in winter.

Use A Space Heater

A space heater can be a great way to stay warm at night. If you’re indoors, you might want to face it toward the hot spots of your body, where the most heat leaves: your feet and your head. That said, make sure you place it some distance away to avoid overheating. If you’re camping, try to place your space heater near the entrance. The same rules apply. It should be a fair distance from you but close enough to the entrance that it cuts the heat.

Use Cotton Bedding

You might be surprised to learn that using cotton sheets comes with several benefits. Firstly, cotton has phenomenal breathability. It’s perfect for both cold winters and warm summers. It’s also naturally hypoallergenic and can keep you nice and cozy on cold winter nights.

Choosing cotton bedding is essential for staying warm at night in the winter. One of cotton’s best traits is that it doesn’t keep you too hot in winter. Wool and flannel both have these problems, but cotton is an exception to the rule.

Layer Up

Layering throws and comforters can help you change the temperature without altering the room temperature. When camping or working outside, create a layering system with your attire that allows you to add or remove layers as needed. When it’s time to return to the tent, you still layer your sleeping attire, starting with comfortable thermal base layers.

Overall, staying warm in the winter isn’t an impossible feat. With these amazing tips, you’ll quickly realize how easy it is to beat the winter chill!
