We seem to wear through the bottom sheets much more quickly. I posted pictures of a couple on my blog.

I also am using old mattress pad tops for the batting. Instead of buying quilt batting I found new mattress pads at my neighbor's garage sale (someone I know that is clean!) for the kids' beds and I'll use their old pads for batting, just cutting off the edges. I also see nice quilts at our thrift stores all the time, some for cheap and some are brand new!

Our newer thermal windows are draft free but it is too expensive to replace all our windows. Thanks for sharing this great idea.

The explanation is somewhat technical. I think I can de-geek it enough by saying that the article is from last year, the photos were placed when we still had the old Countrylife server. That server is no longer with us, I still have the graphics just need to dig them up and post them, I will do this as soon as possible. Very sorry.
