When the house is too warm in winter

Short answer: Many Danish homes sit around 22 degrees in winter, and thick clothing indoors quickly becomes uncomfortable at that level. Thin layers in bamboo viscose solve the problem without turning down the heat.

Thick clothing indoors is a misjudged choice

A thick jumper makes sense outside, but indoors at 22 degrees it creates a feeling of heat and sweat rather than comfort. Two thin layers let you regulate yourself, depending on whether you are sitting still or moving around the house. See bamboo clothing for women.

The switch at the door makes a difference

The outer coat should come off the moment you walk in, not once you have found a seat. Leave it on for ten minutes and the body underneath gets clammy, taking time to recover from afterwards. See bamboo t-shirt for women.

In the evening, temperature drops in many homes

Many people turn the heating down in the evening to save money, and the difference is clearly noticeable after ten o'clock. A soft extra layer worn at home is a better solution than turning the heat back up for a single hour. See bamboo loungewear for women.

The bedroom is often colder than the rest

Many people air out the bedroom in the evening for better sleep, which makes it the coldest room in the house. A thin extra layer just before bed holds onto warmth, without it becoming too warm under the duvet later in the night.

Feet feel cold despite warm floors

Even with underfloor heating in the living room, feet can feel cold because warmth rises and rarely reaches all the way to the toes. A thin layer on the feet often solves the problem better than turning up the heat throughout the whole house.

Draughts from windows are felt most in the evening

Older windows create a faint draught that only becomes noticeable once you sit still in the evening after an active day. An extra layer on the upper body counters this better than moving the sofa away from the window each time.

Guests feel the temperature differently than you

If you have grown used to 22 degrees at home, visitors may find it warm while you find it comfortable. A thin indoor layer lets you adjust yourself without changing the heating for the whole household.

The shift between rooms can be felt

The hallway, living room and kitchen rarely sit at exactly the same temperature, even in a well insulated house. A light layer that suits several places makes those shifts less bothersome than clothing meant for only one room.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I sweat indoors in winter?

Because clothing is often chosen for the outside temperature rather than the house. Switch to thin layers in bamboo viscose as soon as you are inside and have removed your coat.

What indoor temperature is comfortable in winter?

Most people feel comfortable between 20 and 22 degrees with a thin layer on the body. Go higher than that and thick clothing quickly feels uncomfortable.
