It is estimated that 1 person in every 100 may be affected by bedwetting throughout adult life. In addition to wearing protection and altering your diet, you can also use a bed sheet to provide maximum protection.
What is a Waterproof Bed Sheet?
Waterproof bed sheets are a quick and easy way to protect your bed from leaks and stains. You simply place the product on top of your fitted bed sheets. The absorbent sheets are available in a variety of sizes and colours to suit a number of different mattress types. In addition to being comfortable and durable, they are easy to change and provide effective protection. Being discreet is a top concern when using products, and bed sheets can provide a discreet option for managing incontinence.
5 Key Benefits of Waterproof Bed Sheets
- You can relax knowing your bed is protected. Bed sheets feature a waterproof backing to prevent leakage seeping into the mattress.
