They work well for me with our 60°F average nights, and mostly ok with warmer nights, though real cooldown becomes difficult.

Aside from the fact I have different preferences than that, a different and more curious phenomenon comes to mind. Those temperatures you outlined are pretty close to what comes to my mind when I think of a "moderate climate"; since that was deduced from the indoor temperature limits, perhaps your notion has some validity in that regard .

Well, my idea didn't work so well, then. For myself, I'm not too interested in temperatures well outside what I consider a tolerable indoor temperature. Maybe a bit hotter at times midday for good swimming weather, and a bit cooler than ideal at night. Sounds like Sophie prefers indoor temperatures at the low end of outdoor temperature preferences, so my idea didn't fit her tastes, either.
