Help
hey
Due to my height (6ft) and weight (90kg) my carer finds it difficult to turn me during the night.I am currently on a pentaflex mattress with standard sheets.
My district nurse has suggested I get a set of 4-way wendylett sheets. Has anyone used these? Do you find that they help? Can anyone recommend any good online shops that I could buy these from?
Thanks

Hi
My husband is C5/6 and we sleep on normal cotton/polyester sheets.
We use a sliding sheet called AJO MAXI SLIDE. If you google it they probably have a site.. We get them from our local equipment services so in theory they are loaned but as they are washable when they lose their slide we get a replacement.
I don't see why you should have to fund this yourself as you clearly have a medical need.
Hope thats of some help.
