When in the market for bed pads there is a constant debate between the disposable plastic type and the reusable cloth. Cloth tends to get a bad rap because it tends to associate with messy situations and lots of work (especially for primary care givers who have enough laundry to do!) However, there are some very important things to heavily consider when in the bed pad market.
If you find reusable bed pads that with three or more layers of protection and comfort, made out of polyester and quilted with cotton, and one which has an absorbent inner layer including waterproofing, then you are in luck. Ensure that it is likewise machine washable and dryable and you will soon be saving more money than you ever imagined. They are underestimated and underused, but that means that you will get to enjoy the price cut. If you spend the money up front initially to purchase three bed pads to rotate them out, you will never have to go back to disposables unless you are considering a rotation. It is better for protecting bed linens as well, and no one needs to argue that they are much more soft and comfortable.
And just remember, that if you are concerned about the time it would take to wash the reusable bed pads, just remember how much more time it would take to be washing all of the linen and sheets. If you want to save some money and want a routine for this type of situation, then look no further than the reusable option
