I know this isn't really that big compared to most of the posts on here but it's really disturbed me and wand to have a moan. I finally put the thick winter duvet on last night as the temperature had dropped. I forgot about the weight of it on my legs and the pain it caused. It honestly felt like I had someone lying on my legs all night. The duvet isn't really that heavy. It's man made so it's lighter then feathers and I could carry on with the lighter summer duvet but then I'd freeze. I suppose I'm just going to have to get used to it again and it's another thing to suffer until spring

    Hi mancguy

    I have the same problem and just stick my feet out and wrap the rest of the duvet round me.

    Hi I have the same problem too. Have you tried a bed cradle to take the weight of the bedclothes?

      No not tried as feel it would be to big and I would get cold. Also very restless and not sure how that would work.
