    We tried sleeping bags and I didn't like them because they are too
    hot. We are typically only in warmer weather.

    We have a mattress pad over the mattress and then a fitted sheet.
    These came with the boat. Bob has a top sheet and then a quilt. I
    like to stick my feet out, so I just sleep under a quilt. It's a
    small single bed quilt that I got from the Lands End overstock
    catalog. I can't be bothered to have the top sheet tucked in when I
    just untuck it. I also have heavier duty quilts but we rarely need
    them.

    If I need to be warmer, I dress more warmly. I wear heavy duty
    thermal underwear to bed on top of my ordinary night clothes.
