You won't see our linen when we're camping in winter! It was minus 5 at Easter, our water pipes froze and our wee oil fired heater kept the van no warmer than tepid. We use a double duvet cover like a sleeping bag, topped by proper woollen blankets (from charity shops), then the duvet on top is in an old cover because the dog brings muddy paws onto it. Except in a hot summer, the entire "sandwich" is tucked into an unzipped down sleeping bag at the toes where the air gap is, so we don't need bedsocks. Underneath it all is a cheap mattress comfort layer with elastic at the corners, that holds the cushions together and gives a bit of warmth. All very Heath Robinson, but it works for us. Thank goodness we have a roomy over-cab locker!
