Dad is with us and using a hospital bed. The one he has is a long twin from Hospice and I have to use long twin mattress pads as well as long twin sheets. We are in FL and he prefers a lighter cover; right now crocheted afghans and light quilts. And, interestingly, he does not want to be covered past his hips except with the sheet. Oh, and not a lot of weight on his feet.
Am I having fun? But if it helps you, that's good.
Blessings, Pat
