Dan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 As a bedwetting kid, my mom used to keep a plastic sheet over my mattress, with a regular sheet over it, another plastic sheet and then another regular sheet. That way, if the top sheet got wet at night, we could just strip it and the plastic sheet off, and I would still have a dry sheet and mattress protector under it. I still do that today. I am too restless a sleeper for bed pads to help. How do you protect your mattresses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Davis Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I have a good-quality mattress cover over the mattress. Then I have a large reusable bedwetters pad over that. That is my primary defense. Then, on top, there is the sheet. I wear a heavier layered diaper combination at night than many folk. As a result, it is very rare that I leak through to the sheet. But, "Be Prepared." --John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slomo Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I use a pretty standard hypo allergenic mattress cover, which is also waterproof. It's polyurethane laminate, and breathable. You can get one at wallmart or most any mattress store for around $40-50, and typically lasts me about 7-9 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incont Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I have a SaniSnooze Incontinence mattress that has a heavy vinyl cover built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_Turtle Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 What Slomo said, except I once recently had one that slightly wept through. I don't trust it and I've just been procrastinating buying a vinyl sheet. That's probably what I need to do. I don't like wearing all the extra plastic pants and such. It's too hot. I have trouble sleeping and controlling my body temp so all those layers are out, and mega diapers are in. I also carefully monitor my fluid intake after a certain hour.

zzyzx Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I have a standard mattress (allergy, bed bug, spill, etc.) protector, then a standard fitted bed pad and bed shit, then add a reusable incontinence pad, that I sleep on top of, then standard bedding above. I wear a triple layer of four layer diapers with a protective pant. It used to be the old VI Products or Comco vinyl pants. Now it is usually one of the Gary manufactured PUL pants, but I continue to look at my options on this. Unless I'm very well hydrated things are contained to the cloth diapers. On a rare time when a leak happens, the bed pad takes the rest..... or possibly the top sheet(s) if they get tangled into the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHangedKing Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I use a waterproof mattress cover on my bed plus a washable bed pad. Then I sleep in tape ons and plastic pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombie_Turtle Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Quote i use a waterproof mattress pad that also is heated The heated waterproof mattress pad sounds amazing. Would probably feel great. Due to my condition I constantly have knots of muscles and I frequently use heating pads to combat it. That sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
