cabin bed and bedding. please help!

[HampshireMummyof2]

Hi, recently got ds1(6) a high cabin bed and the bedding now needs changing. But how!!! . Do you climb up and do it or get mattess down each time? ( or put ds1 up there and help from down below )What does everyone else do??

My DD has one- I get her to strip the sheets for me and she chucks the duvet and pillows down for me to do as she does the sheets I then put the covers back on the pillows and duvet and she puts her sheet back on, or DP if she's not home. I can't get up the ladder!

If you mean the mid-sleeper height (rather than the really high ones) I used to climb up and get on the bed in order to put the sheet on or get the DC to do it when they were older.

DS has got a mattress topper on his bed now though so I just hook the fitted sheet around that whilst standing next to the bed. As it's more flexible than the mattress it's easy just to pull up the far corner and put the sheet over it.

Thanks for your replys. Its the really high one! managed to get the sheet off by unhooking it from underneath. I will have to get ds1 to help when he gets home from school i think.
