A protective arm cover utilizes a set of curved rigid panels to create a firm, structurally-sound guard with an opening for a user's arm. A set of metal ties may be used to join adjacent panels, securing the panels end-to-end. The panels and ties may utilize sets of holes to enable connection and size adjustment, thus preventing the apparatus from consuming too much space on the bed and simultaneously ensuring that the user's arm is comfortably supported during sleep. Shifting aligned holes in the panels and ties allows for adjustment of the diameter of the arm space. An inner padding within the arm opening created by the panels ensures that the user's arm is cushioned from the rigid panels. Similarly, an outer padding prevents the user's head from contacting the panels and ties while the user rests. Thus, the apparatus may prevent damage or discomfort to an extremity during sleep.

An over the head gown is provided having a one-way lock for receiving a neck tie strap which facilitates closure of the head opening around the wearer's neck and closure of the rear gap in the back panels of the gown.

The loose end of the strap can then be pulled, without reaching behind the wearer's head or neck, to tighten the head opening and close the gap in the back of the gown. The gown can be removed by detaching the necktie strap or the lock from the gown then pulling the gown from the wearer's body.
