    Protect-A-Bed = Peace of Mind

    By Stephanie | March 31, 2008

    protect-a-bed-logo.pngIn The No-Cry Potty Training Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Child Say Good-Bye to Diapers, author Elizabeth Pantley writes that “potty training is about daytime toilet habits. Nighttime dryness is a totally separate subjectit is achieved only when a child’s physiology supports it – you can’t rush it.”

    In fact, did you know that “half of all three-year-olds and 40 percent of four-year-olds wet the bed several times a week. Also, 20 to 25 percent of five-year-old children and 10 to 15 percent of six-year-olds don’t stay dry every night“?

    With those statistics in mind, it’s important to stay relaxed about nighttime dryness/bed wetting. Take the necessary precautions, clean up messes calmly and with a smile, and eventually your little one will wake up dry every morning.

    To help bring peace to your home and to avoid ruining your child’s mattress, it makes sense to invest in a mattress cover. Protect-A-Bed offers “ultra thin mattress protectors that are available in all bed sizes including cribs for babies.”

    We used a Protect-A-Bed mattress cover on our bed while we were co-sleeping with our daughter and our daughter has a P-A-B AllerZip cover on her bed now. It is so nice to know that if any messes are made, we can simply take off the cover and stick it in the washing machine the next day. No wet mattresses, bad odors, or chemical cleaners needed! allerzip.jpg

    The AllerZip encasement not only promises “superior protection against bed wetting,” but it also “protects against allergens such as pet dander, pollen and mold.”

    This cover brings new meaning to the phrase “don’t let the bed bugs bite.” If you put this cover on your bed, you can change that phrase to “the bed bugs can’t bite you now.” Or you can refrain from using that odd (and slightly disturbing) phrase at all – which is what we do.

    Interested? You can find a Protect-A-Bed dealer near you by clicking on “Dealer Locator” at the top of the Protect-A-Bed website. Or you can purchase a cover online.

    WIN IT! Two winners will win a Protect-A-Bed AllerZip mattress cover in his/her choice of size. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post prior to Monday, April 7 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). The winner will be announced and contacted on Tuesday, April 8. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

    *UPDATE* The winners are #116 Susan Chester and #163 Jane K. Congratulations!

      For my oldest we have a large waterproof lap pad under her sheet. A few times she has missed part of the pad so a whole bed protection would be wonderful

      My daughter just turned 2, so I’m sure within the next year or so we’ll be entering the world of potty training. Seems like this product would be a great addition!

      Since asthma and allergies run in the family, and we sometimes co-sleep with our 5 month old, this would definitely help in trying to keep her from developing problems–great for my peace of mind!

    6. Patti Says:
      April 1st, 2008 at 6:07 am

      Ha, this is hilarious…as I was changing my son’s sheets this morning…he woke up a little wet…and tore the whole water proof mattress cover off, I kept thinking to myself, “I have to get a little bed cover to make the process go a lot fast!” I just keep forgetting!

      I have family bed with one ECer (near graduate) and another on the way this fall – plus an incontinent cat, so our bed needs all the waterproofing help it can get!

      It is nice how the surface is 100%cotton. I wonder if it crinkles when you move. Could be very handy for ECing parents or potty training toddlers!

      We stick one of those waterproof lap pads under our daughter’s sheet in the “target zone” in case of leaky diapers, but because it’s so small it’s not always in the right spot if she moves around…it would certainly be nice to have a whole mattress cover so we’re not gambling with it anymore! Now that we’re starting potty training it’s the perfect time, too. Thanks for the chance. gumbi1313 at msn dot com

      we could have used this last night! our sweet girl got a yucky tummy while in OUR bed. I never thought that we would need a “waterproof” pad since my husband has been potty trained for a while now :) LOL Thanks for the contest!

      April 1st, 2008 at 9:27 am

      This mattress cover would come in very handy. We are expecting our third child next month and we do some cosleeping, especially at the beginning. This would be so much better than laying out towels/blankets and guessing where the best coverage needs to be. Thanks for introducing this great product!!

    17. Steph Says:
      April 1st, 2008 at 9:53 am

      I have a 4 yr old who is prone to accidents at night, so this mattress cover would come in very handy to protect his bed. I also have a 2 yr old who is just starting the potty training experience. The Protect-A-Bed cover looks like its a great product.

    39. Aimee Says:
      April 1st, 2008 at 11:57 am

      What a wonderful product. I really do think that being calm about potty training is one of the biggest things to help move it along. This sure helps with that! We’ve used something a waterproof mattress pad as well as protection that just went over a certain area. I like that this not only covers the whole bed, but that is also offers such great allergen protection! I use special protectors on all of our bed pillows to accomplish the same thing — and think doing that for the mattress is fabulous!

    40. Sara Says:
      April 1st, 2008 at 11:58 am

      Today my big girl is taking her first nap in her toddler bed. One big step leads to another and potty training gets closer every day. I actually need more mattress protectors since we now have 2 small mattresses to cover (although the crib may stand empty for awhile till #2 moves out of our room).

      I would love to have one of these and while I would love to tell you I would keep it for myself I can’t. One of my best friends always seems to have disasters in her bed with the kids (including once with my sweet little girl) so I would happily hand it over to her. What kind of friend would I be if I couldn’t see her need is greater than mine??? So fingers crossed…hoping I can win something great for a great friend!

      I’d really love to win this–my son has severe asthma and we’ve tried everything to lessen the effect of dust mites, including mattress covers that did not work and buying a new mattress. This sounds very promising!

    157. Cindy C. Says:
      April 2nd, 2008 at 4:18 pm

      Wow, could I use this! I have severe allergies, so have covered all the kids’ beds (hey, I spend an awful lot of time in there. lol) Plus, we recently found out my daughter (5yo, has never had a dry night) has a rare brain disorder that can contribute to bed wetting and a urinary/kidney problem. I’m SO glad we never made an issue of this before or I’d feel really guilty. Her bed is the only one not covered because she still sleeps in her toddler bed. However, she’s asking about moving up.

    158. Alison Says:
      April 2nd, 2008 at 4:20 pm

      It would be great to have a spare mattress cover for when one’s in the wash. My son is daytime trained, but still has occasional nighttime accidents (meaning he pees so much he leaks out of his pull-up)

    159. Cheryl Larimer Says:
      April 2nd, 2008 at 4:30 pm

    182. Dorothy Barborek Says:
      April 3rd, 2008 at 8:12 pm

      My son, age 54, is legally blind since his mid-20’s and has seizures due to 3 brain surgeries for malignant tumors. When a gran mal seizure occurs, loss of urine is a great possibility. Since this has happened during the night time, having protection on the mattress is necessary. Thank you for the opportunity to win one.

      I have a 2 yr old son who keeps ending up in bed with us. He’s decided to start taking his diaper off prior to doing this and this would be a definite help on some of those nights. Also have a 1 year old and a new baby on the way. With everyone having really bad allergies, we have to watch everything that comes in contact with the kids sleeping surfaces so this would be HUGE for us.

      This would be incredibly useful. My husband has allergies, plus we share our bed with six cats who don’t care where they are when they need to cough up a hairball. A mattress protector would be a blessing!

      Our son, who is in Kindergarten, gets weekly allergy shots. He also has inhalers and other meds to help; but, this would be a big help too. Thanks for educating folks about ways to protect themselves and their families, with empasis on dust mite protection with the mattress cover.

      My daughter has severe dust mite allergies and we could always use these. She sleeps on a full plastic mattress cover, but this looks much more comfy. We could even use it for her little sister’s bed in a few months. I know she’ll climb in there.

      Necessary layers for incontinent adults: waterproof mattress protector, 2 large disposable tuckable pads, sheet, one washable tuckable pad! Cuts down on the laundry (for the most part).

      Mattress and pillow protectors are also essential protection against those nasty dust mites!

      Life is so complicated anymore, eh?

    292. Julianne Says:
      April 7th, 2008 at 11:12 pm

      Well, I think I am too late for the contest, but I also wanted to mention that those mattress covers are also very nice to use until a child is old enough to wake up and hit the toilet if they have stomach flu, etc. Talk about one foul smelling mattress if you don’t have some type of protection on it.

      Blessings to you!
