Not only does it perform for the function of incontinence, it makes moving my parents so much easier and safer by utilizing the handles on the mad to position her. I’ve been a caregiver for many family members, and these are a must for any situation - with our without incontinence! Excellent quality and they wash easily. Save your money on the disposables and also gain safe, positioning assistance to save your back and add comfort for the patient!

THIS BED PROTECTOR WITH HANDLES IS EXTREMELY USEFUL AS THE HANDLES HELP WITH LIFTING PERSON IN THE RIGHT POSITION FOR SLEEP.

Bought this for use as a "pull sheet" and it works great! Mom weighs about 120 pounds and not difficult to pull. I fold this sheet in half, place it across the bed and the sheet has handles on each side of the bed. Its marketed as an absorbant pad, I guess like a reusable chuck pad. Well that just works great for us too! Accidents in bed are generally not a problem, if we have one, the pad is washable and is supposed to survive close to 100 washes. I know I read that somewhere. As I said, if you are not dealing with accidents in the bed, this pad will last for a very long time as the perfect pull sheet!

This pad is highly recommended for caretakers who have to reposition their client up or down on the bed. Two very sturdy handles on each end. I bought a second one so that when one needs to be washed there is a ready replacement. I use this pad along with the pad protector with handles on the side (for sideways repositioning); I find this other pad has better maneuverability than this two-handled pad. The two-handled pad is on the bottom; the other on top of it. Together they allow for easy repositioning up, down, side, side. If used by itself, use a large disposable bed pad over this pad to reduce wash times. They wash well; fold the pad, cloth side out, to get best results. Remember when drying, one side is plastic. Also fold the cloth side out when drying.

This item helped move my bed ridden gramma but would annoyingly get bunched up due to the design of the mat. It's designed with a open space between the top and bottom surfaces of the mat and this causes it to"roll"...making it impossible to get straightened out once the patient is on it. I work at a hospital and none of our transfer mats have such an issue. Also, I don't know why but something in the listing made me think I was supposed to receive 3 items so I was a bit confused when I received the one. In all honesty, I may have gone for a different mat if I had known the price was for a single mat. Any nitpicking aside, the product serves its purpose and allows you to move a patient that can not move them selves.
