Cool on the final proof, warm on the first bulk proof generally speaking.

As @Silly_Savage said, I want to do bulk proof at moderately high temperatures to get the bacteria nice and active, so it's ~4-5 hours at 25 degrees and then a night in the fridge.
It has definitely helped, both of my loaves are a bit overproofed I think but still nicer than what I'd been making before.

Its a terrarium heating mat, I looked at those seedling mats but couldn’t find one with controllable temperature. This has a separate temperature probe, quite fancy. But it cost €17 and the quality is about what I expected, you’d best look at something slightly less dodgy.
