I put a clean sheet on the bed then a fleece 'throw'...Just change the throw when it gets dirty...Clings, feels warm when I get it bed...Have a flannel blanket beneath my electric blanket and a light weight comforter on top...Snuggly buggly! I think it's a wonderful idea to get a cleaning lady..someone to talk to..Does she cook? WOW ! GREAT idea!
