What bed linen material is best for an Elderly Person?

Just as with everyone else, older people should use the correct bedding for the season. The older you are, the less able you are to regulate your body temperature, so choose bed linen that will support your body's needs, and use together with appropriate duvets, toppers and protectors for a comfortable night's sleep. Cotton bed linen is a practical choice - cool and fresh enough to prevent overheating and easy to care for. Make sure you are using the right tog duvet or the right amount of blankets to ensure you stay warm enough but don't overheat. If getting bed linens washed and dried is an issue, you might prefer poly-cotton bed linen. It dries comparatively quickly and needs little (if any) ironing.
