The best disposable bed pads you’ll only find online
Night-time urinary incontinence can be hard to manage, but disposable bed pads can provide a safe and affordable solution to manage it. Whether you experience nocturia or experience bladder weakness at times, absorbent disposable bed pads can offer you comfort and peace of mind. In this list, we’ll be sharing what we think are some of the best disposable bed pads to help you manage incontinence.
Bed protection products are ideal for people who are affected by night-time incontinence or nocturia. The Urology Care Foundation believes around 1 in 3 adults over the age of 30 experience nocturia. The rate of people affected increases as they grow older. If you’re bed-bound, or just leaking urine at night, then some good bed protection can help give you a little confidence boost.
Disposable Bed Pads
Disposable bed pads are thin sheets of absorbent material which you lie on top of. It sits above the mattress and the bedsheet, so that liquids don’t soak through and ruin your lovely bedsheets and duvet covers. If you have an accident, you simply pop the pad in the bin and replace it with a new one.
1. Vivactive Bed Pads
Vivactive Bed Pads have been designed to deliver a combination of fantastic absorbency at a super-affordable price point. These bed pads absorb twice the amount of liquid compared to some other similar disposable bed pads. This is thanks to the long fibres in the "fluffy" part of the pad, which are three times longer than those in some other products. The enhanced fibre length means the pad can hold an extensive amount of urine.
Vivactive Maxi Bed Pads are chocked full of industry-leading incontinence tech, like channels that aid in the distribution of liquid. These channels provide faster absorption to keep you dry and comfortable. Once the liquid is absorbed, hydrophobic barriers along the edges prevent it from reaching your lovely bedsheets, while a waterproof backing makes sure there’s no leakage from the bottom.
In addition to their impressive absorbency and leak protection, they offer exceptional comfort. The super soft top layer provides a gentle surface against your skin.
2. TENA Bed Secure Zone Super
TENA Bed Secure Zone bed pads are designed to keep surfaces dry and provide reliable security against leaks. These pads feature a unique Secure Zone Pattern that works with Super-Absorbent Micro Beads to lock liquids away.
The Secure Zone Pattern draws urine into separate sections, allowing the Super-Absorbent Micro Beads to do their job. This combination prevents any urine from escaping onto the surface below.
For added protection, TENA Bed Secure Zone pads have an absorbent core paired with a soft, skin-friendly top surface and a waterproof back sheet. This keeps the surface underneath dry while being gentle on your skin. These pads are versatile and can be used on a variety of surfaces, including mattresses, chairs, sofas, wheelchairs, and more.
On top of all of this, TENA is committed to environmental sustainability through the TENA Protects Program, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in Europe by 2030.
3. Abena Abri-Soft XL Premium Underpad
Abena Abri-Soft Premium Underpads, are a great choice for protecting beds and other surfaces. Measuring 50x170cm, these bed pads feature Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) and a fully breathable back sheet.
Designed for rapid liquid absorption, Abena Abri-Soft Premium Underpads keep people comfortable and dry for longer. The soft nonwoven surface and advanced absorbent zone draw in urine faster than some other pads that use only fluff.
The breathable back sheet lets your skin breathe, reducing the risk of irritation and helping to maintain body temperature. This feature makes these pads suitable for critical care environments such as ambulances, emergency rooms, intensive care units, and operating rooms.
The liquid-safe back sheet and sealed edges prevent urine from escaping the core, reducing the risk of leakages onto your bedding. The integrated odour-neutralising system takes care of any nasty smells.
4. MoliCare Premium Bed Mat
If you’re searching for an extra layer of protection for your bed or a chair, then the MoliCare Premium Bed Mat is a great solution. These contain high levels of Super Absorbent Polymers which effectively turn liquids into a gel that is held inside the mat, making them extremely absorbent and great at keeping liquids away from your skin. The advanced absorbent core also locks liquids into the bed pad, preventing them from spreading onto clothes and bedding.
For a durable and highly absorbent bed mat that can be used on any surface, the MoliCare Premium Bed Mat is a great choice.
