I used to have a down duvet. Nothing (non-heated) compares to the warmth. I hated the dry cleaning bills though.

Just got back from shopping again and I saw that all the queen size are only available with dual controls. I couldn't find a queen pad or blanket with a single control...do they not think about us single gals?

Yikes! That's a lil scary. But, I have two kids in college..and I see the state of their beds/rooms and know the blankets aren't ever supposed to be folded over on themselves.
I've never heard of deer corn bags. Is this something you make or buy? I like the idea. I love old skool hot water bottles

When I was a lil kid and spent the night at my Nan's house, she made a lil bed for me in her room under the window on a fold out cot. She used to pile my Grandad's old heavy wool Army blankets on me and then OPEN THE WINDOW in the middle of WINTER
. Funny though, I have fond memories of the blankets being so heavy I could barely move and my nose being cold as could be.
