If liquid is left on the mattress pad for a few hours will it soak thru and into mattress or stay in mattress pad?

We have an elderly dog who had an accident in our bed- it was there for several hours. We have a memory foam mattress and were worried it would be ruined. This matress protector kept it completely dry and saved our matress. It's excellent!

The protector will hold liquids indefinitely, but you may smell urine on the mattress after an accident briefly as the protector is breathable (air passes through). This is just the smell and not the actual liquid and will go away quickly on it's own.

I put a mattress pad on it. It will keep the foam clean longer. I suppose you wouldn't have to. But I do

The pad is inside a plush bed. It would need to be dry. Ours is inside a shed, with a heavy-duty extension cord running from the house. No problems.

I used a water resistant organic wool pad between the mattress and sheet. Works great, especially because the mattress is so lightweight, it's easy to change the sheet.

yes, pour all liquid on your pads. I cut my pads in half before I put the liquid on. It makes them last longer and there is plenty of product to soak all pads.

I didn't check exactly how long, but I have washed before bed and by 6 am next day it is bone dry. There is not a bit of padding so really dries quite quickly.

Put it under a sheet. Basically you use this instead of a mattress pad. It's the same thing, just a little thicker.

Be careful; this is a mattress cover, it's not a mattress pad. In short, there is no padding whatsoever. It will not affect or inhibit the properties of the mattress. I was disappointed because I expected the cover to have some substance to it, in essence it's a thin material designed to protect against spills or staining. Because of it's design, you don't get the snug fit of a pad, the corners don't have the elasticity of a pad. I've had it now for approximately six months and fortunately haven't had any spills to test its ability to repel liquids.

Urine and Fluids Protection Just one fluid accident can completely ruin an unprotected mattress and void its manufacture warranty. All of our sleep protection products are waterproof and breathable, which prevent small or large fluid accidents from permanently soiling your mattress. Mattresses are more expensive than ever making mattress protection a smart investment to ensure years of use. Most families will have several fluid spills on each of their mattresses attributed to children, pets, incontinence, drinks and even ceiling leaks. There is no better feeling after a fluid spill than knowing proactive steps were taken beforehand to ensure nothing would damage or soil the mattress. If a spill or fluid accident occurs, simply remove the protector and place directly into the washing machine with normal detergent that does not contain bleach. Once clean, tumble-dry using the low heat setting. Our mattress protectors and encasement make fluids accidents easy to recover from while at the same time providing a more sterile sleep environment.

Yes, it will go under a mattress pad fairly easily. Also, it doesn't make me feel any warmer or hot...It is so soft, I love mine. I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a softer mattress. And it is keeping it shape nicely. Kristine harmonyinohio

Yes, the mattress pad goes on top of the mattress, under the sheet. The cord can come out either at the bottom or the top of the pad, depending how you put it on the mattress. No, it does not interfere with the fitted shape of the sheet.

It goes down the sides of the mattress completely and maybe 1 inch under. The waterproof section is only on top. The sides are fabric only. Should take care of your needs unless you have a very special circumstance.

I recently used some on my bed and did not wash the sheets immediately after, and I had no problem. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to spray the mattress instead of the sheets, then put clean sheets on after the mattress is dry. According to the directions, you should not breathe this stuff, so I would recommend leaving the house for about an hour. This is not a fogger, so there isn't a cloud of stuff in the air, but it does need some time to dry on the surfaces you spray it on. Once it's dry, it should be safe for your pets to walk on. Be sure to do all the carpets/rugs, upholstered furniture and mattresses. I recently used some on my bed and did not wash the sheets immediately after, and I had no problem.

These pads are very absorbant dont leak the sheet, but I recommend in case of accident change this in the lesser time posible, depend of the quantity, Occasionally my mam has an accident in the afternoon, but I change in two hours, no more. I don´t have experience in more time, because at night use diaper and pad

hi sarah, it all depends on how hot you make it from your microwave. for me, i add a damp towel around my pad after i take it out of the microwave. sometimes i wet the pad and place it on a microwave plate with the towel, feels so good. make sure you don't get it to hot. i would say it dissipates slow and steady . not for hours. a good 20 mins. hope that helps injoy surgee

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.

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
