How do you put on a bed pad?

Published in Bedding Basics 1 min read

Putting on a bed pad typically involves placing it on top of your mattress, often securing it with elastic straps or a fitted sheet design.

While the single provided reference doesn't explicitly detail the process, it implies a standard method of installation:

  1. Unpack the bed pad: Remove the bed pad from its packaging.
  2. Position the bed pad: Lay the bed pad on top of your mattress.
  3. Secure the bed pad: Depending on the type of bed pad:
    • Elastic Straps: Attach the elastic straps to the corners of the mattress to hold the pad in place.
    • Fitted Sheet Style: Stretch the bed pad over the mattress like a fitted sheet.
  4. Ensure a Proper Fit: Make sure the bed pad fits snugly and smoothly on the mattress.

For optimal hygiene, the reference suggests washing the bed pad quarterly along with other bedding using a gentle wash cycle.
