FAQs
What are bed pads used for?
Bed pads are designed to protect mattresses, bedding, chairs and other surfaces from moisture caused by incontinence, spills or medical procedures. They help maintain hygiene, prevent staining and reduce the frequency of laundering.
Both disposable and reusable styles are available, making bed pads suitable for aged care, hospitals, home care and post-surgery environments.
What is the difference between disposable and reusable bed pads?
Disposable bed pads feature absorbent fluff pulp with a waterproof backing and are discarded after use. They are ideal for high-turnover settings like hospitals and aged-care facilities.
Reusable bed pads are made with layered absorbent fabric and a waterproof underside. They can typically withstand many wash cycles and offer an environmentally friendly and cost-effective long-term option.
The choice depends on convenience, frequency of use and individual care needs.
How do I choose the right absorbency level?
Absorbency varies across brands and pad types. When choosing a bed pad, consider:
- Light absorbency — Suitable for minor leaks or occasional moisture.
- Moderate absorbency — Good for regular nighttime protection.
- Heavy to super absorbency — Recommended for individuals with heavier incontinence or those needing overnight protection.
If unsure, selecting a higher absorbency level ensures maximum comfort and protection.
How do I properly care for reusable bed pads?
- Laundering — Wash reusable bed pads in warm or cold water using a mild detergent.
- Avoid fabric softeners — Softening agents can damage absorbent fibres and reduce performance.
- Tumble dry low — High heat may weaken the waterproof layer.
- Do not bleach — Harsh chemicals can deteriorate the padding and backing.
Following these guidelines ensures the pad maintains absorbency and lasts through many wash cycles.
Can bed pads be used on furniture and wheelchairs?
Yes, bed pads are versatile and can be used on recliners, couches, wheelchairs and even car seats. Their waterproof backing prevents moisture from leaking through, making them suitable for any surface requiring added protection.
Lap-sized and chair-sized pads are also available for improved comfort and portability.
