For close to 20 years now my wife and I have bought twin sized flat sheets and blankets for our king bed. We're both blanket hogs and now we get to be by not sharing. People used to look at us like we were crazy when we mentioned it, but I hear more and more people doing it and even saw and article calling it the "Scandinavian method" or something else pretentious sounding.

We've been doing it so long I feel like we invented it, even though that's a silly idea. But I am half Scandi so, you know, maybe it was named after me.

Why not get two sets of king size? I mean twin sized blankets are too small for adults in my opinion. Especially during winter.

Twin size are plenty big for my 350lb frame to cocoon up in. King sized blankets are 7 feet wide.

As a Finn, "scandinavian method" sound hilarious, though technically we're not part of Scandinavia. And yea, ofcourse people have their own blankets. You don't share a pillow either ..right?

Honorary Scandinavians though, right?
