Why use waterproof mattresses?
A waterproof mattress offers a simple, all-in-one solution for protecting your bed, floors and furniture from overnight leaks.
Many people who are experiencing incontinence or managing moderate leaks find that it removes the need for additional layers, providing them much needed reassurance when they sleep.
Great for people of all ages, waterproof mattresses are also suitable for kids and adults who experience nighttime leaks, or those with limited mobility who may spend more time in bed.
Built-in protection against leaks
Unlike standard mattresses, waterproof mattresses include a protective layer that stops liquids from soaking into the core and ruining the mattress.
This helps keep your bedding easy to clean and more hygienic, reducing the risk of lingering odours, making it far easier to manage everyday leaks.
Comfort without compromise
Waterproof protection doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort.
With a wide array of options ranging from supportive foam to premium memory foam, you can choose a mattress that feels right for you, whether you prefer a softer feel or firmer support.
Suitable for different care needs
For those using profiling beds (or hospital beds), castellated mattresses allow the mattress surface to bend and move without affecting the long-term performance.
This makes them a great option for both home and care environments.
Easy to maintain
Waterproof mattresses are built for convenience and peace of mind. If you experience any leaks or spills, their surfaces can be wiped clean quickly and easily, for a clean that’s hassle-free.
Waterproof mattress FAQs
What is a waterproof mattress?
A waterproof mattress is designed with a protective outer layer that prevents liquids from penetrating the surface. This helps keep the inside of the mattress clean and dry despite any leaks or spills it might be subjected to on the surface.
Who should use a waterproof mattress?
Waterproof mattresses have been used for a long time by people managing leaks, as well as in care settings or in kids rooms who are accident-prone. They’re also great for people with limited mobility who may need to spend a lot of time in bed and struggle to get to the toilet every time.
Do waterproof mattresses still feel comfortable?
Yes, but it does depend on the quality of the materials used.
Whilst PVC is typically the most ‘medical’ feeling waterproof mattress, many waterproof mattresses are designed with comfort in mind. Some alternatives to PVC include foam and memory foam, which provide support and pressure relief alongside protection.
Can waterproof mattresses be used on profiling beds?
Some waterproof mattresses are specifically designed to be used on standard beds and profiling beds. If you need a mattress for a profiling bed, look for one that uses a castellated structure, this allows them to bend and move without losing shape or support.
Do I still need a mattress protector?
This depends on your preference or the severity of leaks you or the person you are caring for may experience.
Whilst a waterproof mattress already provides built-in protection, some people choose to use a waterproof mattress protector as an additional layer for reassurance. It also makes it easy to strip the mattress protector and use the mattress as normal straight away, rather than waiting for it to be wiped clean.
