Quick answer
Wash your Diamond Quilted Waterproof Mattress Pad in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat to protect the waterproof layer and quilted comfort.
Why proper care matters for waterproof pads
Waterproof mattress pads use a thin TPU membrane to block liquids. High heat, harsh detergents, or fabric softeners can break down that membrane over time, reducing protection. The diamond quilting adds comfort but also traps moisture if not dried thoroughly, so airflow during drying is key.
The Bedsure Diamond Quilted Waterproof Mattress Pad is built with a 4-layer design that balances softness and waterproofing. Following the steps below will help maintain that balance and extend the life of your pad.
Step-by-step care routine
- Pre-treat stains immediately: Blot fresh spills with a clean cloth—do not rub. For dried stains, apply a small amount of mild laundry detergent directly to the spot and let it sit for 5 minutes before washing. Rubbing pushes the stain deeper into the quilted layers.
- Machine wash on cold, gentle cycle: Use cold water (below 85°F / 30°C) and a gentle cycle. Add a mild liquid detergent—avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets, as they degrade the TPU membrane. Wash the pad alone or with similar lightweight bedding. Hot water can shrink the fabric or damage the waterproof layer.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry: Set your dryer to low heat (no higher than 120°F / 50°C). Remove the pad while it is still slightly damp to prevent over-drying, then let it finish air drying flat. If using a dryer, add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the quilted fill evenly. High heat can melt the TPU coating and flatten the diamond quilting.
- Check for proper fit after drying: Once dry, check that the elastic corners are not stretched or twisted. Re-adjust the pad on the mattress so it lies flat. If the pad feels stiff, a second low-heat cycle with a damp towel can help restore softness. A twisted pad can shift at night and reduce waterproof coverage.
- Store in a cool, dry place: Fold the pad loosely (avoid tight creases) and store it in a breathable cotton bag or on a shelf. Avoid plastic bins or vacuum bags, which can trap moisture and promote mildew. Prolonged moisture is the most common cause of odor in waterproof pads.
