My folks are in their 90s ,,, and in their 80s, when Dad started having bladder problems at night, they bought two new expensive mattress pads WITH WATERPROOF VINYL PLASTIC UNDERLAYER ATTACHED. Very hard to wash in the machine, as the vinyl layer keeps the water from circulating. Same with dryer machine, as the vinyl bottom layer keeps the hot air from circulating.
This is NOT AN IMPROVEMENT !!
So if you go to TARGET, all the way in the back with BEDDING you will find these different brands of very thin and inexpensive SEPARATE WATERPROOF MATTRESS COVERS, usually made out of polyester or some other synthetic like polypropylene. Then, I got a very high quality SEPARATE MATTRESS PAD, FULL/DOUBLE SIZE for $50,,, much cheaper than BED BATH AND BEYOND !!
