Incontinence Bed Sheets

What are incontinence bed sheets suitable for?

Use of incontinence bed sheets

Incontinence means the inability to retain urine/stool. Patients suffering from urinary incontinence have problems controlling the release of their urine. In general, five different forms of urinary incontinence are distinguished:

  • Stress incontinence
  • Urgency incontinence
  • Reflex incontinence
  • Overflow incontinence
  • Extraurethral urinary incontinence

Causes of incontinence and use of incontinence bed sheets

The causes of urinary incontinence do not always have to lie in the area of the urinary tract. Disorders of the nerves, brain, or spinal cord can also lead to incontinence. In rare cases, incontinence can also be triggered or exacerbated by medications. Therefore, be sure to inform your doctor about any medications you regularly take To protect the mattress from damage, there are special mattress covers that keep liquids away. For example, there are Molton mattress protectors: Molton comes from French (molleton) and means soft cotton fabric. A typical feature is the fluffy surface. Molton is napped on both sides.

incontinence pad

An Incontinence pad for mattresses, also known as bed pads or mattress protectors, ensures a dry night with restful sleep. Incontinence is understood as the loss of control over the release of urine. This can have various causes, such as problems in the brain or spinal cord. For example, they can be found in care bed mattresses for seniors. The cover for mattresses is a simple Molton cover with moisture protection, this protects the bed and serves as mattress protection. Incontinence pads adapt well to body contours due to high-quality materials, thus not diminishing sleep comfort at all. Is a Incontinence pad waterproof?

Waterproof incontinence pads

Thanks to the many different layers, which are very absorbent, the incontinence bed pad has a waterproof surface. This surface is even guaranteed to be water, blood, and urine resistant. Additionally, a moisture protection layer is attached to the underside of the incontinence mattress pad, which also provides reliable protection for your mattress, as it is an effective barrier against liquids and completely waterproof. This moisture protection of the incontinence mattress pad is waterproof, but allows water vapor to pass through, ensuring high breathability and preventing mold from developing. There are also incontinence bed sheets, which are coated with polyester on the underside, making them liquid-proof. For severe incontinence, one can use so-called PVC bedding sets. However, the sleeping experience in this set will be rather moderate, as one sweats heavily under PVC. It may be possible to put normal bedding on top to at least improve the skin feel. Features of the bedding:

  • waterproof
  • urine-resistant
  • washable
  • also suitable for severe incontinence
  • suitable for allergy sufferers

Bed protection products make it easier for people affected by incontinence to have a restful night and ensure a good sleep. There are various products to protect the bed. For example, the disposable bed pad. This is an absorbent and waterproof cover that can simply be disposed of in household waste when soiled. These pads are also referred to as hospital pads. They have an absorbent core made of cellulose layers or flakes and are available in sizes 40x60cm, 60x60cm, and 60x90cm, among others. The underside of the hospital pads is additionally coated with an impermeable film. The reusable bed pads are only for protecting the mattress and are generally not very absorbent. In contrast, the multi-layer bed pad is equipped with an absorbent core that absorbs liquids. Skin-friendly materials such as cotton are used for the surface, preventing the occurrence of skin irritations.

Waterproof covers

Waterproof covers and special protective covers preserve mattresses or bed linens from urine stains and create the basis for a restful night. Especially suitable are moisture-proof PU or PVC bed linens. This bed protection also ensures hygiene and prevents the settlement of bacteria in the mattress. In specialty stores, disposable and reusable mattress covers as well as fitted sheets for children's beds made of molton, PVC, or polyurethane are offered. This special bedding is not only waterproof but also urine-resistant. The bed protection covers can be reused multiple times as they are washable according to the care instructions.

Incontinence bed sheets mattress test - 30 days trial sleeping

To assess whether a mattress is suitable for one's sleep type and needs, a few minutes of trial lying in the store is by no means sufficient. Especially if the previous mattress was very saggy or did not fit particularly well with the body and sleeping habits, it can take some time for the body to unlearn its previous protective or incorrect posture and to get used to the new mattress and an orthopedic position. For this reason, Mister Sandman offers you the opportunity for trial sleeping for a full 30 days and nights to extensively test your new mattress. This also allows you to test the mattress in your familiar sleeping environment and in conjunction with the bedroom furnishings.
