I saw one ages ago that was two quilts stuck together. That is, the bottom of the quilt was solid all the way across the bed, but the rest of the quilt was split down the middle, so that each person could have their own half. Maybe something like that, with each side batted differently?

We have an electric blanket with dual controls. Even so DH is often cold (the old blood thinner problem) so I bought 2-1/2 yds of fleece for his side. Wanted it long enough that he could tug it and still keep his feet covered.

I have been married 51 years, put up with this for a long time.

Have you considered making two quilts and sewing on velcro tabs or some other sort of closure (can be removed if they ever "split the blanket"). That way you could have two complete quilts that are complementary and fasten together, but have entirely different batting.[/quote]
I like this idea, I think I may do something like this. It could be creative with pretty buttons holding the two sides together.

If you didn't want there to be a noticeable difference in the thickness of the two sides, I wonder, (probably won't work, and a stupid idea) how about putting one of those metallic thin heat blankets in between the layers. Of course I don't know how one of these would hold up to stitching and laundering, just an idea.

Then I treated them as if they were a big book, and folded more of the 'pages' towards my side.
Could you make two thin quilts, button them together down the centre (right sides facing), so that one could fold back onto the other side?
