Adjustable Blanket Support
Purpose
Blankets can sometimes cause pain when they put pressure on the toes. They can also contribute to skin irritation or sores. If mobility is limited, it might be hard or impossible to move blankets off the feet when in bed. An adjustable blanket support attaches to the bed and provides an easy fix!
Description
This practical tool is designed to keep the weight of blankets or bedding off specific parts of your body, often for medical or comfort reasons.
Height Adjustability: Most supports can be adjusted to different heights to accommodate various thicknesses of blankets or personal preferences. Ensure you set it high enough to avoid contact but not so high that it feels awkward.
Material: Made from lightweight yet sturdy materials such as aluminum or stainless steel. Many designs are collapsible for easy storage and transport.
Ease of Use: Can typically be placed directly under the mattress or fitted into the frame for stability.
Tips
How to Use:
- Positioning:
- Place the base of the blanket support under your mattress or align the stand securely on the bed.
- If freestanding, ensure it has non-slip pads for stability.
- Adjusting Height:
- Extend or retract the support frame to your desired height. Follow manufacturer guidelines for locking mechanisms to secure it.
- Placing Blankets:
- Drape your blanket or sheet over the support, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Avoid overloading the support with excessively heavy bedding.
- Testing:
- Lie in bed to ensure the setup is comfortable and the support holds the blanket away from your sensitive areas.
