in my opinion for profiling, a bed everyone should go for the option to buy a burrito blanket. theburritoblanket.net/ can help for this. I have also one from here.

I agree, an electric overblanket/heated duvet (I think,these exist) sounds best.
Lakeland do heated throws I think - any use?

I agree with cornergran an over blanket would be more practical. If he has a duvet you could put the electric blanket between a sheet and the duvet.

I’ve no real knowledge luckygirl but wonder if an electric over blanket would be ok? Is there a hospital contact you could ask? Sorry not to be more definite, hope you find a solution, being cold is just horrid.

My OH has a hospital bed in which you can change your seating/lying position with an electric gadget.

He only weighs 6.5 stone and gets very cold. If I put an extra quilt on him it is so heavy he cannot move around in bed, something he finds very difficult anyway - hence the profiling bed.

What he really needs is an electric blanket, but they all say do not use on profiling beds.

Anyone got any bright ideas please?
