Would this work on a sheet to absorb bedtime urine leakage to reduce linen washings? My elderly dad moves in his sleep and other pads are too small.

This is not absorbant but will provide a good waterproof backing, and if used along with an absorbant fabric like Zorb, will be very effective. I also use a diaper liner fabric that wicks the moisture into the Zorb, and is more comfortable to sleep on. Sew all three layers together and you will have a really absorbant and comfortable pad. I suggest small Velcro fasteners to attach it to the sheet or mattress.

I use these 24/7 for my bedridden elderly Mom. I cannot respond to "how much water and weight pressure it holds" (how to measure/calculate?), but I can tell you that as long as they are in AND stay in the right place, there has been no leakage on the sheets. Sometimes -- overnight -- they have been somewhat "soaked", but my Mom urinates a LOT (quantity) and frequently. However, the pad bottom has not leaked through unless the pad got "moved up" too much when we pull her up (grabbing the sides of the washable bed pad and hoisting up) in the bed for meals.

I don't think that would work very well. The material is very thin. It's intended to dampen vibration in sheet metal. A thicker closed cell foam pad would probably do a better job in your situation.

The pads in the system catch the urine, and these pellets only soak in *some* of it, so I'm not sure how well they would work in that capacity. You may want to buy a single bag and try it out (rather than a box/case). Good luck!

This should be the solution for you. My mattress pad was too small for the mattress and it would slip and shift the mattress pad and fitted sheet every single night. Since I put these straps on, it hasn't shifted once!! I tried multiple other brands before this and I'm pleased to have found the perfect solution.

I don't think it would work well unless you are willing to wring the foam out first. Side note- I am a dog trainer. It is not normal for a dog to pee in her bed, even if anxious about her guardian being absent. If she is getting outside at least 5 times per day and hasn't been crated longer than 5 hours or so, she may need to see the vet to check for a urinary tract infection.

It is. I always put a sheet under it, so that when my son wets the bed, I can just strip the wet sheet and mattress pad and he can go right back to sleep on the clean dry sheet.It does eventually lose it, though. There was a time I was washing and drying it twice a day. After literally hundreds of washes, it started leaking through. Most people won't be washing it quite as much as I did, so that wouldn't be a problem for quite a while. I still use it for the extra padding, and plan on buying a new one for his bed.

I use this on my elderly mother's full size bed with a mattress that is not wide and does not have a pillow top. I do not know of any reason why it would not work for you.

There really is not a lot of absorbent material on the sides of these, there is a sufficient amount of material in the front, back, and area between legs for heavy bladder leaks, but probably NOT enough for sleeping on your side, they are good for active people, walking and normal movement, or for wheelchair bound people as long as they are in sitting position, or laying on their back. Hope this helps.

I think the only problem with this would be the fact that pee/poop could get out of the diaper, since it wouldn't cover the whole surface and be contained like a bag. I think it could work for most of the time, but I can see there could be times in which this wouldn't work and these are never fun. At the end of the day, I am not sure that each bag is that much more expensive than a diaper, so I personally wouldn't take the chance.

Yes. As long as they don't sit in the urine for an extended period of time, it will keep the urine from the pillow. It has kept my kids pillows urine free for long enough for them to let me know, stripping the bed, and then the pillow. Sometimes even longer.

I use this sheet regularly on a 5" portable (mini) crib mattress. So yes, it works fine. It actually works better than others I have, though it is a snug fit.

Yes. I bought it for my incontinent parent. I works great and keeps odors in not out.

It would work, but a larger cleaning pad is probably preferable to cover the area more quickly.

Yes, you need to put some kind of bedding or towels down to soak up the urine. Paper bedding and shavings can be a pain to remove from the corners and edges of the canvas, so I find towels and fleece to work the best.

When my boys have pee'd their beds, to me it seems to absorb the pee vs. if i were to just have a fitted sheet to pull it off and have slight puddling on their matteress... their still use their crib matteress which have that plasticy feel to them where pee doesn't soak into the mattress. I hope this makes sense for you! :) I also personally like them cause they give their flat matteresses some softness/fluffiness to them.

YES!!! My grand daughter had a "potty" accident when she slept over and it worked great. It absorbed all the moisture and protected the matress. Note: When you wash it, that it will take a while to dry. It absorbes the moisture in the washer and it is reccommended that you dry on LOW... so it will take a while but comes out great. ***
