A new home that is colder indoors

Short answer: Wear a thin layer against the skin and a jumper over it rather than one thick garment. Layers can be adjusted, a thick garment cannot.

Why a layer against the skin works

When it is cool indoors, the body loses heat to the air. A thin layer sitting close holds a film of warm air against the skin and moves moisture away at the same time. That is why a thin layer warms more than it looks.

The two layers that cover a home

A thin layer against the skin and a jumper over it cover most indoor temperatures. When it gets warm, you take the jumper off without having to change anything. See bamboo undershirts for men.

Feet and slippers

Cold feet are what most people notice first in a cold home. A pair of thicker socks or two layers does more than an extra jumper. See bamboo socks for men and sweat clothing.

Frequently asked questions

How cold is too cold indoors

Below eighteen degrees most people start to notice. Nineteen to twenty one is common.

Can bamboo viscose keep you warm

It does not warm by itself, but it keeps you dry, and dry skin feels the cold less.

What about bedding in a cold home

A heavier cover and an extra layer under the duvet help more than thicker nightwear.
