Is it fair for my partner to want the bedroom at 17 degrees?
The complainant says
My partner runs hot and likes the bedroom freezing. They open the window in January and set the thermostat so the radiator never comes on. I wake up with a cold nose and have started wearing a hat to bed. An actual woolly hat.
I suggested we keep the window shut and the radiator on low. They say they can't sleep if it's warm. I've suggested separate duvets, which we now have, but it's still cold enough that my hands hurt in the morning.
The other side says the partner, as the complainant tells it
They say cooler bedrooms are healthier for sleep, that 17 degrees is within the recommended range, and that I can add layers but they can't remove any more. They say they'd be awake all night sweating if the heating was on.

Deliver your verdict to join the deliberation. Back to the case.
Comment on the dispute, not the people. No names, guesses about who anyone is, or abuse. Jury room rules.
Window open in January is not 17 degrees, that's outdoors with a ceiling.
The woolly hat is a cry for help.
They are technically right that you can add layers and they can't remove skin.
Electric blanket on your side only. Genuinely saved my relationship.
Seconding this. Heated mattress topper with dual controls.
