Bed stripped and remade with fresh sheets - practical help for those who find the physical effort difficult due to age, mobility issues, or recovery from illness.
### When A Simple Job Isn't Simple Anymore
Changing the bed sheets **shouldn't be a major undertaking**, but when you've got arthritis, a bad back, or you're just not as strong as you used to be, it's exhausting. Lifting the mattress, wrestling with fitted sheets, tucking everything in tight.
You know it needs doing. You just need someone to actually do it.
> 💡 **Worth knowing:** This is one of the most requested home help services for elderly customers. It's practical, it's dignified, and it makes a real difference to comfort and hygiene.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Regular service:** Most customers have this done weekly or fortnightly. You can provide a spare key or arrange a regular time slot - whatever suits you. **Mattress turning?** Traditional mattresses should be rotated every 3 months and flipped every 6 months. I can do this at the same time - just remind me. **Washing service too?** I don't offer laundry as a service, but I can put the dirty sheets in your machine and set it going if that helps. Or recommend local laundrette collection services if you need that.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bed changing assistance in Dawlish
Who is this service for?
Mainly elderly people or those with mobility issues - arthritis, bad backs, recovering from surgery. Changing sheets is surprisingly physical when you're struggling, and it's one of those jobs where you need help but don't want to be a burden.
Do I need to provide the clean sheets?
Yes - have them washed and ready. I'll strip the old ones, put the fresh ones on, and make the bed properly. If you want, I can take the dirty sheets and put them straight in your washing machine.
What about turning the mattress?
I can do that too if it's due - those modern memory foam ones don't need turning, but traditional mattresses should be rotated every few months. Just mention it when you book.
Is this awkward? I'm not used to asking for help.
I get that it feels odd at first. But honestly, I'm there to do a practical job - strip the bed, put clean sheets on, tuck it in nicely. It's no different from any other household task. Most people say they wish they'd asked for help sooner.
Can you do this regularly?
Absolutely - lots of people have me do it weekly or fortnightly. You get the same person each time, it becomes routine, and you don't have to think about it. One less thing to struggle with.
