I have two blankets I really like and use frequently, but I don’t like having on my bed (due to them being too warm). If I had them on the floor overnight when I don’t need them, would it damage the blankets?

Basement is always chilly (below 70F), even during summer, so I have good reason to believe it is climate controlled.

    I’ll say upfront that this is the best answer in this thread.

    Firstly, not too concerned about bugs. They can be wiped off, and are a minor annoyance I’m willing to deal with. Though I’ll put them on my bed when it’s not being used!

    The main reason I’m concerned is that the blankets will always be right next to my bed, so that I can grab them and throw them off easily without moving much. So a lounging chair is off the table, since it’d be far away.

    I’m thinking about getting a mat for this purpose, since while it’d still be ground, there’d be a barrier between the carpet and my blankets.

      That’s a good idea.

      I had another thought too. In the past, I’ve used some acne creams on my face at night, mostly to try and prevent a breakout. Benzoyl peroxide was the main one, and it made little bleach marks on the top edges of my comforter and pillow case. Just a warning because these blankets seem special to you.

      Good luck with your blanket setup!

        Thank you for the warning, and yes, they are special to me. One’s a homemade spongebob blanket I’ve had since I was little!
