Lightweight Bed Protection with Side Flaps
The Absorb Plus Lightweight Bed Pad with Flaps combines an 85 x 90 cm reusable absorbent pad with side flaps that tuck beneath the mattress. It holds up to 800 ml and is designed for users who want a lighter washable bed pad but prefer more secure positioning than a loose pad can provide.
The densely woven polyester top surface provides a soft contact layer, while the waterproof polyurethane (PU) backing helps protect bedding beneath. The side flaps help reduce shifting or bunching by anchoring the pad under the mattress.
Reusable incontinence bed pads are also commonly called Kylie bed pads, Kylie sheets or simply Kylies.
Why Choose the Version with Flaps?
The main difference is stability. A standard reusable bed pad simply rests on top of the sheet, while the flapped version extends under the mattress on both sides. That can be helpful if the user moves around during sleep or if a loose pad tends to migrate across the bed.
The absorbent section itself remains lightweight at 800 ml capacity, so this version is still easy to handle for regular washing and bed changes.
Choosing Between Absorb Plus Bed Pads
The 800 ml flapped model is the lighter anchored option. If more absorbency is needed, the 1500 ml Super Bed Pad with Flaps adds greater capacity while keeping the same mattress-tucking concept. For maximum absorbency, the 2500 ml High Absorbency Bed Pad is the highest-capacity model in the current range.
