I shopped for the softest, thin cotton bathrobe I could find. I found one at target. It was easy to slip on and off, I could wrap it completely around me and it had a soft tie belt. It also was thin enough that if I was chilly in bed, I could put it on top of my gown and still sleep comfortably. I got cold a lot so it was a good thing to have day and night. But not a great big fluffy thing, a really thin, almost T-shirt type material that slips on and off with ease was the trick.
