PeapodMats®

The liquid is dispersed quickly between the top and middle layers. Unlike some mattress protectors, PeapodMats washable bed pads absorb the liquid, so it doesn't sit on top of the mat, wetting the entire bedding.

Please note that although PeapodMats absorb liquid quickly, the mat remains wet to touch and we recommend changing your PeapodMat after the bedwetting accident.

Our size recommendations are:

Small - chairs, armchairs, wheelchair, car seat protection.

Medium - toddler and single beds, up to 4 years old 

Large - single and double beds, anyone over 4 years old, co-sleeping 

Medium PeapodMat is strongly recommended up to 3-4 years of age (to be used on a single bed). Please keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, if your child is large for their age at 3-4, you may need to consider a larger size. 

Whichever size you choose, we highly recommend that the PeapodMat is placed slightly under the pillow.

PeapodMats were designed to be as green as possible. For this reason, the bottom layer is coated with TPU which is a green alternative to PVC (vinyl) plastic. It is also breathable but leak-proof at the same time. Just what you need. 

The TPU used in PeapodMats is a type of physical membrane which creates a barrier against dust mites over the covered surface. PeapodMats prevent dampness and the build-up of debris in your mattresses, such as skin cells and sweat. PeapodMats are free from PVC and phthalates, which have been linked to the development of asthma and allergies. PeapodMats are breathable and prevent excessive sweating which can aggravate many skin conditions, including eczema.

PeapodMats work best with regular cotton or terry bed sheets. If a bed sheet is very smooth, the PeapodMat will not grip as well and will move during the night. Run your hand across your bed sheet, if there is no texture, it feels very smooth or silky it may not be the best choice for the PeapodMat.

PeapodMats grip very well to carpets and upholstered furniture. If the surface is smooth (laminate/wood flooring, tiles, leather sofa etc.), it will not grip but will remain waterproof.

PeapodMats are extremely absorbent and will safely absorb over 1 litre/6 cups of liquid. To compare: the adult bladder can hold up to 2 cups of urine at one time.

Yes, of course! PeapodMats were designed to make life easier. You can wash your PeapodMat like a big towel. Wash with similar colours. We don't recommend regular use of fabric softener, dryer sheets, dryer balls or regular use of vinegar or stain removers. These products are known to reduce the quality of waterproofing. However, vinegar or stain removers may be used once in a while if you need extra help with your PeapodMat.

No, we don’t recommend using PeapodMats for babies under 12 months old to sleep on, in a cot, Moses basket, or at any time unattended. Lullaby Trust's guidelines don't recommend infants under 12 months old to sleep with any loose bedding. PeapodMats sit on top of the bedsheet and although they don't really move, they aren't recommended for little ones under 12 months old.

We recommend using the PeapodMat for baby's nappy free time, tummy time, changing mat, burp cloth, or during sickness.

If cared for properly, PeapodMats will not lose their waterproof qualities for over 500 washes!

Single-use bed pads might seem cheap at first glance but they quickly add up to as much as £312 per year, when used every night. That's if you're only using 1 pad per night... While PeapodMats might seem more expensive, they are reusable and will save you money in the long run.  A medium PeapodMat will pay for itself in about 7 weeks and a large one in 8 weeks!

For peace of mind, PeapodMats are posted in discreet, standard mailing bags.
