We have flannel sheets and a heavy comforter on the bed, so the problem is not lack of heat. If she were naked and curled up next to me, she would actually be plenty warm. The eskimo gear is intended to keep ME away (and I suspect that many women do this). She wears the flannel jammies and then has hot flashes and actually has to remove the bed coverings because she is so hot. She wouldn't be that hot if it was just me and her naked under the sheets. So I know what the eskimo gear is really for.
