Lightweight, Durable, and Cost-Effective Bed Protection
The Absorb Plus Lightweight Bed Pad with Flaps (also known as Kylies or a Kylie) is a new-generation bed pad designed for comfort, efficiency, and affordability. Measuring 85 × 90 cm, it features a densely woven polyester top surface and a waterproof polyurethane (PU) backing, offering 800 ml of absorbency while remaining exceptionally light and easy to launder.
Its soft surface is gentler on the skin than traditional draw sheets, while the non-slip backing grips the bed securely, preventing rippling or movement. The PU backing is dryer-friendly up to 80°C and won’t crack like PVC, ensuring long-term durability. The pad’s quilted side should face up, with the plain waterproof side down for optimal performance.
Important Care Note: When washing, use hydrogen peroxide bleach if needed—chlorine bleach will damage the PU backing.
