Good morning.
Can anyone offer advice or opinion please.
At yesterday's visit to mum at the CH yesterday, I found that their idea of a waterproof cover for the mattress was nothing more than the heavy duty plastic bag the mattress came in, sealed with sticky tape.
I'm not sure if I'm being sensitive or if this is unacceptable. I know because of mum's incontinence the home wanted 'wipe clean' covers for the mattress but I'm sure there are proper mattress covers which are waterproof and wipeable, but still have 'breathable' properties, which must be more comfortable than ordinary plastic under a sheet!
As I said, I'm not sure if I'm just being sensitive or not, so thought I'd ask here.
Thank you in advance for your help.
