Oh, and not a lot of weight on his feet.
Am I having fun? But if it helps you, that's good.

We had the same problem with my Mom only in the NE it is cold and so were her feet! My solution was to make a top from a panel (less weight) sandwich it with a very light batting and back it with organza then quilt it. It is very lightweight, warm, washable and not slippery when the organza is up. She would clutch her "satin sheet" as she called it and was very happy. When she had troubles, the nurse would tell her the quilt was too slippery and she needed to put up the sides. It was the only way she would let the sides go up without a struggle. Where there's a will...
