My dad has advancing Parkinson’s and Dementia. He often gets up during the night to go to the toilet and cannot manage getting in and out of the bedding. He often gets ‘trapped’ in the duvet and gets frustrated fighting with it which is waking my mum. She doesn’t sleep well as it is and is working hard looking after my dad, who are both in their 70’s. I can’t see any solution. Can anyone suggest anything??

Hi Sarper69. I have had a quick look on the internet ive found nothing. The only thing I can suggest if you could do an alteration with the Quilt cover in some way. Sorry not much help.

Make the cover up sheet ,a silk sheet ! Better on the skin and won’t tangle so easily
