Posted by admin as Hypoallergenic Mattress Pads
I need to stop stains from wound drainage getting to the mattress and blood stains. They are spots that I would like to prevent getting on the new mattress until the surgical sites are healed. I thought the slip cover first and then the pad so it can be changed when needed and I could buy another. The cover is expensive and I would not like to stain it much either.

1If planning on using both, the cover should be a size larger than you need.
If desire extra protection, buy a cheap shower liner (usually under $5) and put long portion across the width of the mattress & tuck under mattress. I wash it in washing machine with only a 2 minute LOW dryer setting. Then keep it folded with my extra blankets & sheets to put on bed or couch if someone's kid is here to prevent wet accidents plus used after surgery, too.

2If you just get a vinyl zip mattress cover from Wal-Mart (ranges from $2-$9 from twin to king), it will prevent dust from accumulating in the mattress so it is allergy barrier as well as an easy to wipe down cover in the event of spillage, biohazard accidents or any other liquid or messy, mattress destroying incident.

3I would put the allergy cover on first then put the mattress pad over that. It might be a tight fit, but it should work.
