I have been unable to have a blanket or sheet touching my foot since surgery. I was initially just keeping my foot out from under the blanket until the weather started getting colder and was leaving my foot freezing cold. So I got myself a blanket lifter. It sits at the end of my bed between the mattress and bed frame. It’s adjustable and the top of the frame sits about 50cm above the mattress. The blankets sit on top of the frame and clips keep them in place. It’s working wonders for me and allows me to sleep without the blanket causing pain in my foot.
It turns out that I’m not the only one who really likes the blanket lifter. Jellybean loves it too. It’s like a little blanket forte for her and she gets herself comfy under the blankets at the bottom of the bed. She gets the warmth of being under blankets without getting too hot having the blankets directly on her.
