Warm Shawls and Bed Jackets

La Cera Women’s Floral Microfleece Bed Jacket

Warm Shawls And Bed Jackets Saved My Life….

Once Mom moved in with me, I had to turn up the thermometer to what was, to me at least, alarming heights. I was plain old hot!

I was smart enough to know that, in order to be an efficient caregiver to my elderly Mom, I had to keep my cool – both in temperature and in temperament. So, the battle of the thermometer went my way and the temperature fell rapidly in our old house. But, Mom was freezing….what to do, what to do….

I hit the internet and searched for items for warmth that would work for someone who was either in a wheelchair or sedentary, most of the time. That’s how I found women’s bed jackets and warm shawls.

Warm shawls and/or women’s bed jackets are the perfect gift for a senior citizen friend (or his or her caregiver….). A nice pashima shawl can provide just the right amount of warmth; when the sun peeked into Mom’s room, the shawl would move from around her shoulder to warming her lap. Cozy bed jackets for women were nice for her to have when ‘company’ came over – they gave her warmth and spruced her up just a bit in the process!

If you’re trying to decide between buying a bed jacket for an elderly lady or a nice shawl, both come in various sizes. You can find extra small bed jackets all the way up to plus size bed jackets. Shawls come in different lengths and widths so make sure to get one that’s appropriately sized.

For instance, my Mom had shrunk so much that a large shawl I bought her ended up being a very light blanket for when she was in her recliner. If in doubt about what size bed jacket to buy for an elderly friend, you might check into the bed capes I have found below. These are just small capes that tie in the front – perfect of just a bit of added warmth.

There’s also some nice pashmina shawls and bed jackets for elderly ladies (both regular and plus size bed jackets) – just in time for Christmas presents (or Mother’s Day, or Father’s Day, or Grandparent’s Day, etc – you get the idea) – a perfect gift for a senior woman…You’ll even find some shawls for the elderly who are in wheel chairs.

A Warm Bed Jacket For The Elderly Is Perfect For Those Who Get Cold Easily

When buying bed jackets, Amazon is the place to go for the nicest quality and the best price. Here’s some of my favorite bed jackets on Amazon.com:

Plus Size Bed Jacket

Bed jackets, by their very nature, are large and flowing so, when it comes to buying a plus size bed jacket, make sure not to get one too big as it can then get twisted up when lying in bed. Check the sizing chart before ordering these plus size bed jackets – Most of them go up to 3X. Also, some of the above bed jackets also may come in plus sizes.
