This is a serious question. I hate getting into a cold bed in the winter. Flannel sheets help a little but not enough. I've read that electric blankets aren't good for you. Any other suggestions (skip the sex ones, lol)?

Short of getting someone else to warm up the bed before you get in try an electric blanket under the comforter. Turn it on for about 30 minutes before you get in then turn it off when you go to bed. You are right, electric blankets are not safe to sleep in that's why I recommend turning them off before going to bed. If none of my ideas work for you get a dog and teach her to lay on the bed. They are always good for a warm bed in the evening.

Why should we skip the sex ones?
I got a heated mattress pad. I had an electric blanket. Have you ever felt how good those things feel? It's like being in the perfect temperature bath the whole night without the shock of getting out at the end? If that kills you, that's how I want to die!

Layering really helps I've noticed. I used to have one massive comforter which was okay. But most recently I've had 2-3 thing fleece blankets with a comforter on top and I'm always warm because of the air that is trapped or whatever.

You already have this one but I want to reinforce the Idea.
We have friends that are motor homers. At night the heat doesn't run (they stay out of really cold weather) and they use a heated mattress pad. I had never even heard of one.
They raved so much that we are getting one also. It sounds like this is the most excellent suggestion. The warmth is under you, rather than pressing down from the top.
Happy "Warm" Holidays

This may sound like a lame idea but it's what I do. (Plus it's free!) Fill up a couple of 2 liter pop bottles with your hottest tap water. Pop them under the covers before you go to bed. When you're warm enough you can kick them aside. Make sure those lids are on tight!

The quickest way to warm a cold bed is to use a hairdryer. It works wonders keep the hairdryer handy It takes one or two minutes to warm the bed , then your body temperature keeps the bed warm but is it does not and after a couple of hours you start feeling cold , grab the hairdryer once again and presto

Get a water bed, they use electric heaters to keep the water warm.

Quilts. I love quilts. Old fashioned, hand made quilts. They're heavier than comforters so they give you that feeling of being wrapped up in a big hug.
Hot water bottles. I've seen one you put in a teddy bear and snuggle up to.
Shared bodily warmth is a serious consideration. We learned about it in survival training.
