Why, What and How of draw sheets, linen savers, bed mats and underpads
Linen savers, underpads and bed mats help protect beds, chairs and other surfaces from leaks. Choose the coverage, changing routine and washable or disposable format that suit your needs.
Disposable or reusable?

MoliCare Premium Bed Mat Textile is a washable 85 × 90 cm mat. The 75 × 85 cm version with wings can be tucked under the mattress for extra hold. Check each product page or contact us to confirm pack quantities.
Disposable draw sheets provide a larger protective layer and are sold in packs of 100; check the product options for dimensions.
How to use a bed mat
Place the absorbent side up beneath the area needing protection, with the backing against the mattress. A mat need not cover the entire bed. For the textile mat with wings, position it across the bed and tuck both wings firmly under the mattress. Change a soiled mat promptly and keep skin clean and dry. A bed mat can supplement, but does not replace, a suitable wearable product.
Washing reusable MoliCare textile mats
Wash and dry before first use and between uses. Hartmann’s instructions specify washing at up to 90°C, without fabric softener or bleach. Do not iron or dry clean; tumble dry on low heat. Hartmann states the Premium Bed Mat Textile can be washed up to 250 times. Follow the care label on your own product. See Hartmann’s application and care guide.
