Waterproof mattresses
These foam and air-filled mattresses have integral waterproofing or are supplied with a waterproof cover that will not absorb moisture if the user is incontinent.
For more information read our advice on Managing Incontinence issues.
Help and advice
Waterproof mattresses may be noisy to lie on and can cause excessive perspiration.
A user with continence problems should seek help from a continence advisor as to how these can be managed or prevented.
