Mattress Covers
Mattress covers are incontinence products that are designed to protect your bed mattress from accidental incontinence leaks. They are waterproof covers that help to keep your skin dry from moisture and accidental leaks.
Sometimes, slight leakage may occur during the night or while you are resting - due to a temporary or permanent health condition. If an accident does occur while you are in bed a mattress cover will eliminate the need to strip the entire bed apart in the middle of the night.
Mattress covers basically fit over the bottom sheet to protect your mattress and other bed linens from moisture and wetness. If you do happen to have an accident while in bed, just remove the wet mattress cover and replace it with a clean dry one. This is a lot easier compared to replacing all of your bed linen.
Mattress covers are reusable. They can be hand or machine washed and dried. Mattress covers are made of various materials, but cotton polyester blends are the most popular. The absorbent inner lining is made of polyester; while the backing of the cover is usually made of vinyl-backed polyester. This woven fabric makes no rustling noises when you move around on top of the covers. This also makes them ideal for youngsters who are potty training and who sometimes still wet their beds.
Waterproof mattress covers are an ideal incontinence product. You can use them alone, but for added assurance you should use them with other waterproof protective garments. You can also buy incontinence pillow covers for your bed. These covers are designed to protect your pillows the same way that a mattress cover protects your mattress from accidental leaks.
Both incontinence pillow and mattress covers are available in various sizes, designs and styles. Mattress and pillow covers must be kept hygienic. This means that you won't be able to return them to the manufacturer after opening them.
