i have gas heat. a family member has a heat pump. During the cold snap it really struggled, and in one bedroom the bed sheets froze. I've never heard of this happening before, but it made me feel happy to pay a bit more for gas heat.

Heat pumps aren't designed or intended to provide sufficient heat alone on the coldest days. They will have an auxiliary backup...be it electric resistance heat strips, natural gas, oil, propane, etc, that provides assistance during the periods of coldest temperatures. It sounds like your family member's aux heat is not properly configured.
