Night times, how do people cope?

Thanks for all the advice. We were provided with a ‘Wendylet’ and slide sheets by our Adult Social Care nurse. I struggle with the slide sheet as it often crumples under her hip causing her pain as she cannot move herself off it but we keep trying.

Try real sheepskin. I manage eight hours on an inflatable air bed with a sheepskin. Nothing is perfect and I am always forced up with a pressure pain somewhere. 👍😁😀😍xx
