Bed Wetting Products

This is an embarrassing subject for the person that has problems with bed wetting.  There are protection solutions on the market for your mattress.

The basic product is a vinyl zipper style or fitted style mattress cover.  Effective, easy to clean and inexpensive.  Also hot and noisy to sleep on.  The zippered style takes 2 people to put on the mattress, plan on leaving it there once you finally get it on the mattress.  The fitted style is the better choice, it is effective and easy to get on and off the mattress.  If you opt for this choice, please open it up and let it air out for at least 24 hours before it is used to sleep on, vinyl has an odor when it first comes out of the packaging.

A step up product for the occasional accident is a typical quilted top waterproof mattress pad.  The quilt top provides comfort and some air circulation between the person and the vinyl.  I recommend that the waterproof backing be made vinyl.  This product is typically of a fitted style construction, easy on and easy off.  Many are available with anti microbial protection, an added benefit and well worth the small additional cost.

Another type of waterproof quilted top mattress pad has a laminated polyurethane backing.  I do not recommend this type of construction, it is prone to leak.  Due to the laminate being on the inside of the product, you can not see pinholes in the backing.

There are many new mattress protection products coming on the market that will offer greater protection and comfort in the near future.
