    I second damart. I work in a care home and most of the residents get stuff from there. I did buy the resident I'm a key worker for a load of nighties from primark less than 6 months ago thinking it would save her money and just to try really, as I always buy my nightwear there, but unfortunately the washer and dryers at work have completely ruined them already as everything tends to be washed at 60 degrees. I get pjs from primatk and my washing machine has never damaged them, as I wash everything at 30 or 40. It's a shame but in care homes things tend to get ruined. The damart stuff seems to have lived a bit longer!

    Make sure a nightie is button down, that way it doesn't need lifting if doc wants to listen to her chest etc.

    I've bought several items for my 95 yr old aunt from a company called Rival Clothing, we've had no complaints, their stuff is very good.
