My best suggestion is to equip the bed itself with the microwave absorber material I mentioned earlier.  It's about $10 per linear foot at lessEMF.com, about 50 inches wide if I remember right. I would put a six-foot sheet of it under the sheets right next to the mattress.  Another 6-foot sheet would go on top of the blanket, with a linen sheet covering that.

You don't really want it next to the skin.  It's carbon covered by plastic.

Metal is trickier to deal with because it only reflects, it doesn't absorb.  It also can attract waves, much like an antenna.

If you want a cheaper solution, I suggest buying a 10-pack of emergency blankets at Amazon.com for less than $10 for the whole pack.  Look for "mylar 10-pack blankets" -- those blankets are aluminized mylar or some other form of plastic. Then put half of them under, half on top.

Thicker sheets of metal might  be useful.  You can go to Home Depot and pick up a couple sheets of plate metal for like $10-$15 each.  Or go to Dollar Tree and pick up a bunch of cookie pans for a buck each.  Then put them on the floor underneath, or between the mattresses if it's a 2-matrress bed.  Something like this could relieve the magnetic component of EMF.  I've felt some relief from it.  But some people think the metal bedframes and mattress springs are unhealthy, and advise taking them out and going all-natural with your bed.

There are a lot of web pages out there that talk about how to make bedrooms EMF-proof.  There's turning off wiring. There's unplugging electrical devices (turning them off isn't enough because the AC current is still active in the wiring.)  No cell or cordless phone in the bedroom, and turn off any wireless router in the home.

There you have it, good luck to all! Please-please post whatever you can think of that would be useful to others, whether it's additional ideas at this time, or your results from putting all this advice into practice.
