wet patch on your bed - ruining mattress/electric blanket?

Question

This is kind of gross but what do people do about their "wet patch" re it staining the mattress/damaging the electric blanket underneath? Also does the average person change their sheets after each "encounter" or do they wait for a few "encounters". Just wondering what's "normal" I guess.

Answer 1

Look up mattress covers. Now, stop sleeping on your electric blanket, it goes on top of you.

There are many waterproof products to choose from to keep and your mattress-dry. They're all aimed at reducing mattress damage and excessive laundry or anytime you want to protect expensive bedding and provide a clean and dry sleeping environment.

For absorbent mattress protection. A waterproof mattress pad provides absorbency as well as moisture protection. Some pads will hold up to 6 cups of fluid. We offer several styles of mattress pads to choose from. Each style is super absorbent, has a comfortable top, a middle waterproof barrier to repel liquid and a full-elasticized skirt. These mattress pads protect against bacteria, which can degrade fabric and lead to odors and stains. Placing the waterproof barrier, made of either vinyl or polyurethane laminate, inside the other layers makes the pads virtually noiseless. When choosing a waterproof mattress pad, the type of waterproof barrier should be considered. Both vinyl and polyurethane are waterproof but only the polyurethane barrier is breathable. Practically, this means that polyurethane does not reflect body heat and therefore, is cooler to sleep on. For adults, who produce more body heat, having a breathable barrier layer may be worth a few additional dollars.

Mattress overlays for sheet protection. While a waterproof mattress pad is essential to protect the mattress, consider purchasing a waterproof mattress overlay you can sleep on to absorb small to medium accidents. Overlays are quilted, soft pieces of fabric with a waterproof layer that protect the sheets from moisture. Mattress overlays can be machine washed and dried and can decrease the overall laundry load significantly.

I'd buy some of the puppy teething biscuits. It sounds like she's chewing because she's teething. Another suggestion, that takes much longer to deal with is to help her learn to stay in her crate well behaved. You start with 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of no chewing (have nothing but blanket in crate) with you out of sight, she comes out and you praise her and give a treat or a good play time. You do this 3-4 times then increase the time to 30 minutes. And so on. Eventually she'll learn that if she's in her crate without chewing she gets a treat from you and she won't chew any more.

First, you should have a matress pad under your sheets to protect the mattress. You can't pull the cover off a mattress to wash it, but you can put a mattress pad in the washer. I prefer to wash the sheets after each, er, encounter, but I think that if you don't do it absolutely EVERY time, you're not exactly going to die from it. As for "normal" - I don't believe it exists. :-)
