"accidentally" nudge him out the bed.

Every time I poke his face and say, "taking this itty bitty corner. K. Thnx" he wakes up all sleepy-face and is like, "oh sorry here you go," then falls immediately back to sleep and starts getting all mummified again.

My wife does that, and I figured out a great solution- back-up covers!  I keep them on my side of the bed, and wait for her to roll herself up into a "bed sheet burrito" then I cover myself with the back-up covers- problem solved!

I went downstairs and got the afghan. When we go camping, I have separate bedding because Jay likes sleeping in a sleeping bag, which makes me kinda claustrophobic. When he stays over, unless I get the afghan off my couch, it's like an eight hour long war over who gets the blankets.

tuck the blankets under the bed so it's like a tightly wrapped package.  makes it harder to steal

Get a few C-clamps from the hardware store and clamp the covers on your side to the bed frame!

Mine does that, and then proceeds stab me with his sharp elbows, and continue to try to wind the covers completely around his body. He turns into a human burrito. Its not as bad in the summer, but my goodness, in the winter I end up freezing my butt off!

I actually tried that awhile back. You'd think he'd be too sleepy to extract them, but it's like he's the center of a blanket solar system, and all the blankets cannot resist his gravitational pull

I don't have a bed frame, ir I would have probably tried that already.

i do that to my wife. we each have our own sheet and blankets (and comforter in the winter) but sometimes i still manage to grab hers. maybe get two double beds and have them a bit apart?

This behavior must be more common among men than women, since everyone here is talking about men doing it.

I've just been wrapping up in another blanket. I just don't think to go get it ahead of time, so I wake up cold as fuck in the middle of the night and am like, "Oh yeah. This happens."

Haha, It's the absolute best way to describe it! Only the top of his head shows out the top, and he's a tall guy. If I am lucky enough to get to keep some covers, the second I get out of bed, he twists around more. Then he steals my pillow.

I'm assuming he must have some good habits or attributes that offset this appalling behavior.

nope.  I've had women do it.  I'm not a blanket thief at all.  I'm more likely to kick off the blankets, wake up and then re-cover!

I do it because I'm cold and like to be bundled up

Wye hogs the blankets by getting caught in them when he tosses and turns, and then he traps them when he decides he's hot and wants to sleep on top of them instead of just kicking them off.

I'm more like you.i never hog the blankets, but I do get hot, knock them in the floor, then wake up cold and have to rectify the situation

I'm fortunate that I don't get elbowed. Jay does mistake me for a very large teddy bear sometimes, so he will randomly reach out and squeeze me in his sleep. It's cute though

There is your problem right there, never trust a guy named Jay

I used to do that to a former boyfriend of mine. Worked like a charm. He would just give up. Or i'd smack him in his head; "HEY I WEIGH 109 POUNDS AND I GET COLD EASILY! Gimme covers!"

I do that to Zach. I can't tell you how many times I've nearly caused black eyes because of this. I sometimes sleep with my arm above my head and since he likes to be the bigger spoon he cuddles up close and SMACK right in the face.
