Abstract:
A turning and movement facilitating system and apparatus is usable to improve flexibility of body movement of a person lying on a bed or other support member. The apparatus includes a short trouser component wearable by a user, and a layer of bedding material. The short trouser component is attached to the person around his or her lower torso, and the layer of bedding material is attached to a bed or sleeping bag. Both components of the system include thin, single layer sheets of nylon or other fabric material that has a low coefficient of friction. When both of these materials are in contact, ease of movement will occur. Thus, a person can easily rotate to any degree and turn to any angle in relationship to the bed. A method of using the system to facilitate movement is also disclosed.
