two sets of covers are our secret to a lasting long term relationship!
Were both cover hogs, and neither of us can make up our minds if we want them on or off throughout the night. And i am a "nester" i have like 5 pillows and i make a coccon out of my quilt and... hmm maybe two beds is a good idea lol!
We work out quite well. We start out sharing, then at some point in the night, DH gets hot and kicks the covers off, but I'm a cover hog, so I end up coccooning myself with ALL the blanket he kicks off.
Then early morning, he will get cold again and burrow his way in somehow. More often than not, he'll wake me up to give him back some blanket.
We tried sharing covers at the very beginning but either him or I would be freezing at the end of the night. So each have our own blankets. And I'm definitely a nester too, I have a light cotton blanket and my nice thick goose down blanket. Our dog also sleeps with us and she is a complete bed & blanket hog. Poor FI freezes becuse she likes to sleep with him at night.
We share covers. We've been sharing a bed for about a year and it seems to be working out. Sometimes he'll complain I steal the covers and sometimes he steals the covers. But it's not usually a big deal because we share a small (full size) bed and we're both snugglers.

We try but it doesn't work out so well. We now have 2 comforters on the bed just incase! :) We also have 2 cats that sleep with us at night and they take up their share of covers! I wouldn't have it any other way though.
We share. Usually he's warmer than I am but it works out okay, we also sleep really close together so I get his body heat 
I don't think my response should have been, "doesn't everyone" -- but we do. I can see it not always working!
We did share at first, because I liked having my own comforter to wrap up in, but my husband (boyfriend at the time we moved in together) didn't like that. He was really adamant that he wanted to share and snuggle up together.
It took me a couple of weeks to be comfortable sleeping without a comforter wrapped around me and actually sharing, but I got used to it.
The covers are mine! ALL MINE!!! Muah ha ha. I also skirk to the middle of the bed and end up getting pushed over to "my side" sometimes. I don't share well...but i'm learning! But then again, maybe cramming on a full sized bed one weekend a month isn't helpful.
At the beginning we didn't share covers - we would each have as many blankets piled on ourselves as we wanted. Now, we are using our duvet, so we kind of have to. :)
Honestly, one of the only things I miss about being single is sleeping by myself! In the middle of the bed!
We try to share. We have a top sheet and down comforter on our queen size bed, which keeps us warm even when the house gets down to 60 at night. We have found out that apparently my behind is the hottest point on my body; sometimes I'll have to roll over and stick my butt out of the covers while keeping my legs and upper body under! I think I'll register for a king duvet when we register for gifts, just so there is more to share!
We have one set ... and I just steal them. Plain and simply. haha. It's ok though cause he's a hot body anyway. We start the night under the same set, but typically within 30 minutes i'm all wrapped up and snuggled and he's coverless and chilly. But it works for us. :)
We are not capable of sharing. Well, I am not capable of sharing, I am a big time blanket hog. We each have our own covers, if we didn't he would freeze every night as I also insist on having the bedroom at sub-zero temperatures before I can sleep.
i use mine and "share" his! I am bad, once i'm asleep i am a covers thief! I sleep like a burrito. He keeps a comforter next to the bed in case i steal both.
I'm glad someone else uses the burrito reference! LOL I just showed him this and he says he feels "more normal" now LOL. I do hog the bed too , would LOVE a cal king! maybe someday!
heehee...this was a funny poll, but fun to read the replies!

I make myself a taco during the night. I roll up in the blankets...all of them. Even if FI gets up and gets another blanket, I must add that layer! It's bad. We're not quite sure what to do about that situation once we actually live together...I think he's doomed to be very cold at the moment.
Yes we share, but our secret to the cover wars was to get a king size comforter for a queen size bed....it works great! although I destroy the top sheet since I never used to have one - he finds it essential and I get all wrapped up in it
We are both cover hogs and both in denial of cover hogging fault. Mornings are interesting.
We start off sharing the comforter and/or blanket, but sometimes I wake up to his side on top of me. Thankfully, this works out because I'm usually colder than he is. :P

Wow, I had no idea there were so many troubles with cover-sharing! We share with no difficulty. But we have a big bed and big blankets, so there is room for us both to manipulate them as we wish.
we share, but we have a plan of action. when when the bed is made, about 2/3 of the duvet is on my side of the bed. then throughout the night, he pulls the blanket toward him everytime he moves (regardless of how much he started with) and by the morning , i still have enough blanket that covers me.
I guess I get the best of both worlds.... My husband works nights 6 nights a week, so I usually have a king bed all to myself! When he isn't working, he still likes to keep his body on a schedule, so he'll stay up most of the night. He comes to best about an hour and a half before I get up, so we cuddle for a bit and then I get up. So we both get to hog the covers without the other person getting cold.
i am always colder than him! i usually have about two blankets and about three pillows and he will toss off the blankets and find the sheet! but somewhere around 3 or 4 in the morning he tries to take back the top blanket so that by the time we wake up, our bed looks like a total mess! ugh.

I work nights, he works days so five nights out of seven we don't have an issue - as for the other two days...
We have 2 blankets. He has a super heavy, really fuzzy one that is waaaay too hot for me and has a texture that, quite actually, irks the heck out of me. He says he needs it because I freeze him to death (ideally I like the house at about 65 degrees fahrenheit when I'm sleeping, he likes about 78{waaaay to hot for my New England bred self}). I use our lighter bedspread.
We also have a top sheet issue. I hate not having one, he never uses it. It always ends up untucked on his side and shoved over to mine. 
We used to have a tug-of-war at night but I now know the solution. Make sure the bed is made before getting under the covers. If you get lazy and don't make your bed from the night before, the sheets are all skewed. We haven't had any problems since I started making the bed.
I voted other because although we try to share, the fact of the matter is that my fiance is a cover hog! though I'm sure he'd say the same about me..... In the end we share covers, but they inevitably only cover one person at a time!
Well, in theory we share covers. There is only one set on our bed. That being said, we've both been known to roll away with all the covers or to fling them off and bury the other one. :)
We each have our own comforter so that way we can toss and turn and not bother the other one. It works out this way...
We have our own as well, same reason as BunnyBlue.
Husband is always hot and I'm freezing all the time. Sometimes we'll snuggle a bit under mine (I have a big thick goose feather comforter that I use almost year round) and then he moves back to his thin blanket later on.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
How do you sleep? Hubby was joking last night that it's just not normal that we don't share covers.It's true I have my blanket and he uses a sheet. He's a polar bear and I freeze. When it's really cold (in fl yeah right!) we share but I am a cover hog and end up stealing them anyways. just curious on how many others don't share the covers.
