I had purchased the disposable pads and found them move around too much under a patient. Does this pad stay in place?

We generally tucked it under the sheet so that it would not move and we could always wash the sheet. We just wanted to prevent damage to the mattress. it will move if not tucked under the sheet

I have purchased other ones that are more of a plastic material on the bottom side so they moved around as well but these ones are fabric all the way around so they do stay put for the most part. I use for a 3 year old so if I put just under him it will move some because he wont stay put for 5 min. so I usually put it under the sheet and it does great.

I leave it on top of a thin, mattress protector, so we never have that issue at all. Without that protector, it moves until the regular sheet is placed over it. Then it's fine, too.

Yes, it does stay in place. If the patient moves around a lot the pad might bunch slightly but it has always stayed where it needed to be in order to protect the bedding and the mattress. I use disposable pads some, usually under the sheets as an added protection for the mattress (or under the pad if I'm using it on a chair) but I tape them in place because even though they are not in direct contact with the patient they move. Disposables have their uses but I find the re-usable pad much more practical.

I have it under the fitted sheet, my daughter also moves a lot, it does move a little but so far I haven't had any problems at all, maybe because it's under the sheet. It won't move out of place if that's what you are concerned.

Yes the pad adheres to your underwear; so when your drawers are down the pad is still attached.

Yes it stays in place. I have a full size bed with a queen size 2" foam topper. The mattress pad stays in place while the foam pad slowly works its way to the size of the bed that I get in and out of. Even the fitted sheets will move. (They are not deep fitted sheets.). But this mattress pad stays in place. The sides stretch to go under the mattress and it hasn't moved at all.

if you have trouble getting the pads to stick you can wrap them with an ace bandage. The pads should not be placed directly across one another or under each other they should be staggered.

I have the same pad and have used it for 6 months. I have used it both laying on the bed with the pad under my shoulder, and while sitting on a chair. I place the pad over my shoulder, and using an elastic, I wrap the elastic around the pad with no problems.

Mine don't. The back cushions have velcro holding them in place, and the bottoms don't move much at all. It all stays in place.

I used the universal pad for my son's knee surgery. It comes with velcro so you can tighten it up how you want it.

No. The bottom side of the cushion is a textured surface that tends to grip the seat and it is heavy so movement is minimized. You will experience some small movement occasionally but much less than any other cushion I've tried.

Thanks so much for your reply. I contacted Livestrong about theirs and they said that the pad itself doesn't pivot but the part it is attached to is considered to pivot, or something like that. I suspect it's the same as this one. I've read that both are very comfortable and since they are both the same I was able to eliminate it from the deciding factors between the two machines.

I have the deep pocket sheets and they work great and it stays on ... I have not had any issues with it not staying in place

I have been using mine for several months now and it stays in place. I hope this helps.

I placed the pad on top of my mattress pad and under the top sheet. The pad has not shifted - the backing has a textured finish and the mattress pad is not smooth so there is an element of traction in play. I'm very pleased with the size and effectiveness of the pad.

Does the cover stay put? the one i have the soft cover keeps coming off and the plastic pad is exposed. Thanks.

It slides around everytime that you step on it. Check out Bed n Bath and Costco as I have now purchased their mats and they do stay in place.

Yes. I walk around while they are applied. I don't go for a long walk, but if I need to go to the bathroom or check the door. I haven't found a problem. I try not to walk directly on the pad but like I said haven't found a problem with it
