Two in the bed with different temperatures

Short answer: Use two single duvets rather than one double. It is the only solution that lets each of you choose your own weight without compromise.

Why a shared duvet does not work

Two adults give off different amounts of heat and have different comfort zones. A shared duvet can only sit at one point on the scale, and then one of you is cold or the other sweats all night.

The two duvet solution

Two single duvets in a double bed let each person choose their own weight. It also solves the problem of one person pulling the duvet across. See bamboo bedding.

The sheet underneath

A shared sheet is still fine. A bamboo sheet carries heat away from the skin and helps the warmer of you without bothering the other. See bamboo sheets and bamboo fitted sheets.
