I know there is info on this in search some place...but, I just can't find it. Someone on here said how great some type of pad was for the bed that was washable and they had two of them. If anyone could tell me the name of the pads and where I can order them I would be thankful. I am going to get our bed ready even though my dh doesn't have the problem yet. I don't want that expensive matteress ruined.
This is the one I use - http://astore.amazon.com/wwwthealzheim-20/search?node=3&keywords=Beautyrest+cotton+top+waterproof+mattress+pad&preview=&x=5&y=2
I bought priva ultra plus waterproof sheet protector 32" x 54" from amazon. Don't need them yet but use them in case we have an unexpected accident. I like them, they are well made and washable. I believe they come in packages of 3.
Northshorecare.com. I found them on amazon and ordered a bed sheet you can put over/and under the sheet.It works either way or both ways and cuts down on all the washing.
I found 2 sizes of pads in CVS. They are in the same isle as the Depends. I used them over the sheet. Under the sheet I had a waterproof mattress cover. It worked really well. Usually didn't even have to wash the sheets daily. Just the pads.
We have sheet protectors from the day's of L's pregnancy. We never saw a reason to remove it. Haven't needed it yet, but it is a comfort that it is there.
I got lucky. Stopped by some Flea Mkt. and there was a lady there with the same brand washable pads they use in the nursing homes and hospitals for only $2.00 each. They were irregulars. I bought 2 dz..While DH doesn't need them yet, I have a large incontinent dog.I wish I would have gotten more,the mkt. closed before I could go back for more.
I had a ton of protection. I had a mattress protector that completely covered the mattress. I then had another pad which covered Gord's side of the bed. I put that over the quilted mattress cover and under the bottom, fitted sheet. It was washable but had to hang to dry. I then put 2 pads on top of the fitted sheet and overlapped them. They were washable and dryable and if the bed was wet in the middle of the night, I could easily take those off the bed and put clean ones on. I bought the large pad at Sears and the others at a drugstore. I think I have about 10 of them. Being in an apartment, I didn't want to put urine soaked pads in the washers so I soaked them first in the bathtub. It helped to have many as I had to put new pads on the bed a couple of times a night sometimes.
