Sometimes the issue with a smaller bed pad is simply the amount of bedding it covers. If you want to protect a larger area, it makes sense to compare dimensions before looking at pack sizes or prices. Pulp’s extra large disposable incontinence bed pads measure 160x80cm, making them the largest option in this range.
What changes when you choose an extra large pad?
At 160 x 80cm, this pad covers more surface area than the 90 x 60cm option. That can make it worth considering when a smaller rectangle does not extend across the area you want to protect. It is useful to measure both the bed and the intended position of the pad, rather than assuming that extra large means full mattress coverage.
A protective pad, rather than a fitted cover
These pads sit over the surface you want to protect. They are not fitted mattress protectors and do not enclose the mattress. The quilted top gives a soft surface, the core absorbs liquid and the waterproof backing helps protect the bedding beneath.
Understanding the listed absorbency
Pulp lists the 160x80cm pad at 3,000ml absorbency. That figure is a product specification, rather than a promise of a particular number of hours of use. Coverage and absorbency are separate details: one describes the pad’s dimensions, while the other describes its listed liquid capacity.
How many pads are in a pack?
The single pack contains 15 disposable pads. The multipack contains four packs of 15, giving you 60 pads in total. These are single-use products; if you prefer something you can wash and use again, a washable bed pad is a different option to explore.
An extra large pad is worth a look when a smaller format leaves too much of the intended area uncovered. The best starting point is the space you want to protect, followed by the product details that suit your routine.
