As a former nursing home employee, I already knew the benefit of using the bed pads; when my elderly parents came to live with us, I knew that in order to preserve the bed (and my sanity) that these pads would be helpful, and they certainly are. They are soft enough for my dad to lay on and moisture resistant enough to prevent the sheet/bed underneath from getting wet. I wash them in the washer a few times a week, and they've held up really well.
