I have an older child who wets the bed frequently. We've tried many covers but they all leak. Does this one really work? Will it keep the bed dry?

i'm not sure if it will work for an older child but my daughter is 5yr old and she just stopped wetting the bed and i have not had any issues with leaking...i have a tempurpedic mattress that she sleeps on and it has worked perfectly.... i do have a tempurpedic brand cover, the terry type cloth one that does absolutely nothing, it does not work. i hope this helps

I spilled water all over my bed, and the mattress stayed dry. So it has worked for me.

The first time my 3 year old wet the bed using this cover was the day I threw it out. It soaked right through, and not just a little.

I used this mattress cover for a waterbed. The top fits across the whole mattress beautifully and the sides are long enough and deep enough that they cover every part of the water mattress except the bottom. The mattress cover stays in place night after night without issue. With the cover on, I no longer have any part of the water mattress exposed. Take THAT cat!!!

I bought this as an allergen protector..it sits under a regular mattress pad and 2" memory foam mattress topper..only way to survive college life! However, as a care-giver for a 94 yr old his seems to work fine. ..haven't tried just pouring water right on it though. Have you thought of putting the mattress in a zip-on plastic cover and then using this one on top? Sure to stay dry that way...

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

While I do have a mattress pad to completely protect the mattress, I have the carters keep my dry crib pad. It fits underneath the zipped on sheet and, even though it doesn't cover the mattress 100%, it's covers enough that most of my quick changes due to wetting through in the middle of the night is super fast. Obviously there are times in which I have to change everything, but a majority of the time I don't.

My son was wearing depends, he had to wear underwear. First few nights are pretty wet so be prepared for it! My son still leaks a bit but its not as much and has so many dry nights for the first time in 14 years! It is worth the changing the bedding often... I promise!!!! Just click it on underwear and unit on shirt or side of pillow and it will wake them.

Yes. I purchased this for our 4 year old's first bed (he still wets at night). The cover is high quality and seems to work as advertised. In terms of cleaning, you can wash in hot water (recommended), but put in the dryer only on a LOW/DELICATES temperature. I zip closed before washing and the air dry the inside after the dryer.

I have the tailgate step and it works pretty darn well. It will leak a bit at the car wash but really does a good job if well aligned with the rear seal extending and inch or so onto the tailgate. The remained of the bed stays completely dry. The amount of moisture is very minimal and, absent heavy precip, the bed is completely dry underneath. Can you tell I am very happy with this product?? Hope so. It is not cheap but it does its job very well.

No I have a queen size mattress and it does not have that sound like most water proof covers do It washes well and I have no complaints I'm happy with it I even have a twin under my couch cover because of my dog !

the water beads up if something is spilled on it and rolls off --- but I use it for the crib during night time accidents so I don't have to change the bedding and the weakness does not soak through to my grandson

Not 100% sure why, your having issues. Is it the liners leaking for the outer diaper cover? I'm taking a guess & thinking possible a few reasons. 1- Not washed according to MFG directions. Maybe to much detergent has built up & is now preventing the liners from doing their job? 2- Also, I don't put the liners or the covers in dryer. Mine air dry. 3- I have about 4 days worth of diaper liners & covers. So mine are not used daily.They are rotated. If you have been using the same 2 dozen for the last 10 months, Maybe it's just wearing out. 4- I don't need or use any type of diaper cream, If you do, perhaps that is building up. As my daughter got older, I too found it necessary to use 2 lines, during naps. Post here if you found out why this is happening. Now I'm curious

My son hasn't ever wet so much that he's leaked around the diapers before we changed him. The covering is machine washable, so we can throw that in the wash, but when he was really young, we didn't buckle him in, as he was really small and tucked so far down the "bucket" of the seat. We covered that area with a folded hospital receiving blanket, so he wasn't sitting directly on a hard buckle. I suppose you could put one of those down around the bottom area if you're concerned.

This product is great. It should work on water toys if you allow the right time for it dry properly and if the hole is not too big, since the patches they give you are not that large. I used in a inflatable bed. It does show some signs of leaking but it holds well. Hope it helps.

After 4 months of use, I have not had any issues with it leaking. Right after you finish spraying it has a few drops, but just hold it over the toilet for a few seconds and your floor will stay dry.

I recall my younger children wetting the bed with this product ... and the mattress did stay dry. Unfortunately, after removing the encasement so many times to wash it after their accidents, it rendered the product useless. I think one of them the zipper broke and one of them melted in the dryer. We did end up replacing them after the accidents stopped. But to answer your question, I think the mattress got damp, which means it's not entirely water proof .. but it's close.

Yes it prevents water from leaking in. It is adhesive on all 4 sides. Have been using them for almost 7 months after being introduced to the hospital.

I have a memory foam mattress and it didn't work for me. I don't need a wetness shield. I needed something to keep me cool. It didn't help. Hope this helps
