Hi I wanted to know what type of disposable bed mat is the best?

Cottontail said:Realize that if you don't want your bed to smell like old urine, these disposable bed mats are only part of the solution. The other part is to wash all the rest of your bedding that came into contact with your soggy bottom half while you were rolling around in your sleep. With that in mind, I'm sort of skeptical as to their worth -- except on road trips, perhaps. At home, you'll want a fitted waterproof bottom sheet regardless. The disposable GoodNites mats are a little small for an adult, and I'd be uncomfortable relying on them to keep my mattress pee-free.
Regarding washing: I would think so, yes. My point is that, if you're going to be washing your bedding anyway, just toss your washable pad and/or bottom sheet into the laundry also -- no real compelling need for a disposable mat too, IMO. I think there's a misconception that these disposable bed mats somehow save you from doing laundry.brabbit1987 said:Isn't washing your bedding common sense though if you wet the bed regardless if you have a mat or not?
As for the GoodNites mats being too small, I don't think they are.

As for size, it obviously depends on you, but with my large frame and my tendency to roll and shift around, they wouldn't do much for me. We bought a pack for our youngest when traveling a couple of years ago, and they looked distinctly kid-sized, IIRC.
