Hippychick Flat Bed Protectors Overview

Our famous Hippychick mattress protectors help protect your mattresses from little and big accidents. They have been best sellers for many many years.  Every parents should have one (or two actually!)  Watch our demo video (link above) to see how we used them and why we think they are so fabulous!

Hippychick bed protectors are a great natural alternative to sweaty plastic waterproof sheets that gave you rustling plastic sheets every time you moved. Instead the fabric is warm, ultra soft, absorbent, waterproof, breathable and non slip. The sheet mattress protector also helps provide an anti allergy barrier to protect against dust mites. Both sides are made of pure brushed cotton so you can use them either side and the waterproof layer is bonded inside.

The waterproof mattress protector is really comfortable, and quiet to sleep on . I used them throughout all my pregnancies and can assure you there was no rustling every time you turn over!

Sizes

  • Change Mat/Pram 50x75cm
  • Cot Bed Protector 75x100cm
  • Large Bed Protector 100x150cm
  • XL Bed Protector 150x200cm

The small is generally for younger children (it is about the same size as most cot mattresses) and the larger sizes are also for teenagers or adults, who require a larger surface area to be protected. 

Incidentally, the larger mats are also fantastic to protect your mattress should your waters break during the night, and then later, once you`ve had your baby when breastfeeding in bed.

Fabric

Hippychick mats are Oeko-Tex standard 100 certificated (Class 1 - especially for babies).They are perfect for protecting children`s beds and a great help in caring for incontinence.

outer layers: 100% cotton
inner core: 100% polyurethane

Used as a change mat

Change bags often come with a matching change pad these days. They are usually nasty little cold plastic things which you can only wipe down, not wash. They’re either the right size and bulky when folded down, or slimline when folded and a silly size when opened out. Cold surfaces tend to make babies wee and boys especially are experts at "bounce wees" which tend to `ricochet` off hard plastic surfaces.

The change mat folds down really neatly to fit in your nappy bag, but opens out to a very generous 50cm x 75cm (20” x 32”). And if it gets soiled, it goes in the wash at 60 with the nappies.

Care

washable to 60 degrees and tumble dryer safe

 

Liegelind Bed Protectors

Hippychick bed protectors have replaced the Liegelind bed protectors we used to stock. Liegelind unfortunately ceased to trade in Aug 2011 and their products are no longer available. Hippychick mats are basically the same.

We have them for every bed in the house now, they work great. We usually use a fitted on on the mattress to wash less often and put a flat one on top followed by a sheet. Then it’s super easy to change when kids have an accident but there is always a waterproof cover underneath. We’ve never had a leak go through or around it. Love that we have natural fibres on the beds too!

This bed protector is great. It feels really nice to lie on, so I would recommend it even for someone who isn't going to wet the bed. It is super waterproof, definitely nothing will get through it at all.
The catch is that the manufacturer sizes it to just fit the top of the mattress, while I want it to wrap round. I solved this by buying a cover sized for a double bed and using it for a single bed, which it is the perfect size for (including wrap around). I only wish they made a larger size so that I can use it on a double bed.

Got a 75cm x 100cm flat sheet, which is heavy, large and comfortable enough to place over the sheet and sleep directly on it. It worked perfectly to protect against a leaky catheter, without the need to wash all the bedding.

Best waterproof sheets
Rating:
26 November 2023  | 

I spend a lot of time in my kids’ beds, and these are the most comfortable waterproof sheets we’ve tried.
Very soft-don’t need a sheet on top, soak up a full wee and wash well, not crinkly or sweaty.

Item as described. Lovely and soft. My little boy has been dry every night so can't comment on how efficient it is in containing any accidents but I have no doubts that it wouldn't. So much easier to have on top of the sheet rather than under. Stays in place.

Purchased in case of waters breaking, and as yet have not had to test its ability, but it’s not crunchy or plastic-y or too hot, and will be useful for bed wetting kids in the future too. Thanks!

Carrycot mattress protector
Rating:
18 July 2019  | 

It seems be good quality, and is soft too. We've not tested its ability to protect the mattress yet, as our twins haven't arrived yet. There isn't much extra length to wrap around the mattress at each end, but it does cover the mattress and the carrycot sheet should keep it in place. Overall, we are happy with our purchase.

We are using these for my son who is learning to be dry at night. He’s in a single bed but the cot bed size is more than adequate for the space he sleeps on. They are comfortable enough that he sleeps straight on top of this, no need for a sheet over the top. They wash incredibly well (we have been washing on a daily basis!) and dry quickly too. Also useful for sitting on on the sofa. An excellent product, I would recommend!

We've always used plastic change mats with a muslin on top to change our children so decided to try this and will never use a plastic change mat again. My son does not have a shock when lying on it, it absorbs urine really well while being easily washable and it folds down much smaller than the travel change mat while still being twice as large! I've already recommended this product to plenty of friends and will purchase another when my eldest stops wearing nappies during the night to put on his bed. Thanks so much The Nappy Lady!

Such a practical item, folds up small to go in a changing bag, fits into a Moses basket when baby is little and also if your mattress protector is in the wash I stick this under the head area to stop sick soaking into the mattress.

I bought these as change mats and soon realised that we didn't have enough! So we bow have 4 in rotation. It's great that escaped wees don't run everywhere and we just put them in the washing with clothes or nappies, whatever is next on. Great for out and about too!

I have just put this on my half of the bed to protect mattress in case my waters break in the night. Had a very comfortable night- it's so soft and breathable it's hard to believe it's completely waterproof. Haven't tried washing it yet but if that's all perfect too then I'm very impressed.

Good product, great service
Rating:
21 July 2015  | 

I'd read the reviews of this product before buying it and found it a little different to what I'd expected. The sheet is thicker than a normal bedsheet and as it contains a middle layer of plastic, it doesn't have the same stretchiness as a normal sheet. This makes the bed a little firmer than without it but isn't a big issue.
The main plus is that it is double sided so you can fold it up on itself for small accidents in the night and continue to use it till morning - less hassle and means you only need one if you can wash and dry it in the same day.
It's high quality though. It doesn't bunch up and stays put under a fitted sheet. A double sized one fits a double mattress perfectly.
Overall a nicer product than a cheaper versions available and worth the investment.
Great service as ever from the Nappy Lady - thanks

Moves and wrinkles up on double bed
Rating:
12 July 2015  | 

I bought this for my double bed as, although we don't co-sleep, I often end up with 1 or both children in the bed with me in the morning. The bed protector material is soft and seems comfy to sleep on. However I have had problems with the bed protector moving about under the sheet and getting folds in it. I have to pull the protector straight every morning as it's so crinkled and uncomfy to sleep on, even with the tightest fitted sheet on top to hold it in place. My mattress is an odd size so wouldn't take one of the fitted bed protectors, but I would have preferred to get one of those instead.

Rating:
29 October 2014  | 

I bought this as my little girl loves nappy free time and is now wanting to roll and move about. This gives her a nice big area and means any accidents are kept on the sheet with no mess getting through. It's easily washed and drys quickly and doesn't feel plasticy at all. We bought the single bed sized sheet as we can then use it on her bed in the future.

better than plastic
Rating:
27 June 2014  | 

I have 3 of these. 2 for the crib and 1 for the pram. I don't use them for nappy changing (I just put a terry nappy down on the change mat to catch little accidents). I much prefer them to plastic, only check that your mattress doesn't have a fancy airflow system as the fabric doesn't seem that breathable (just more breathable than plastic). I find newborn babies don't have big enough accidents at night to reach beyond soaking their clothes so one in this size might not be necessary.

Love these waterproof sheets. I had one at the end of my 1st pregnancy and just treated myself to a new one (previous one now on my daughters bed). Perfect for protecting your bed in case your waters go (!) and also against leaks when breastfeeding in bed! A must have in my opinion. And you dont feel like your sleeping on a bin bag!

These are great, we use them as changing mats for our baby and as mattress protectors for our 2 year old. They do the job brilliantly on both counts and are very soft and comfortable for them to lie on. Our baby wees on them sometimes at nappy changes (as babies do!), and the reverse side is always completely dry. I highly recommend these mats!

These sheets are amazing, they do not feel like waterproof sheets at all. I've got one on my bed to protect the mattress while I breast feed. It's lovely and comfy, and it's not sweaty at all. I've put the small ones in the Moses basket and pram, and my daughter sleeps really well on them. They've dealt with a number of incidents very successfully, they've been a great buy. I just wish they did them as a fitted sheet too.

After feeling paranoid my waters would break in bed I put on a regular tesco waterproof protector which crinkled and made me so hot I could barely sleep. I decided to invest in the double bed protector and it is brilliant! Its perfect on my small double (4' bed) and protects the whole thing. I don't overheat, feels just like a normal sheet and protected my brand new mattress from me spilling a whole cup of raspberry leaf tea (which, incidentally, didn't stain the protector bright red either but I did wash it immediately!).

My daughter loves her nappy free time and this is a great way for her to enjoy it wherever we are! Whether it is the livingroom, her bed, our bed or even visiting family it is so lightweight and can fold into almost nothing, will be using it later on as a matress protector when she is potty training but for now its a fab thing to have in the nappy bag and it takes up almost no room in your bag.

We had looked and looked for a replacement for a German mat for a bed-wetting child. After reading the Nappy Lady reviews, I bought 3 of these mats. They arrived the next day and seemed too flimsy to be good. They are, however, absolutely excellent - soft and completely non-porous, so nothing gets through. They are very easy to wash and dry. I cannot recommend either the service or the mat highly enough.

I purchased 2 x pram/change mat size and 1 x cot size. My little one is due in Oct. I have the larger size on my bed (for when my waters break, later I will use it on the toddler bed). The other ones on the changing table mattress and in the crib. They are nice and soft and wash up beautifully. Highly recommend.
