I’m a Houstonian who often goes to Galveston for business. I called ahead to see if they had waterproof mattress covers. A lady answered and told me she thinks they do and transferred me to housekeeping to confirm. I was a little excited because waterproof mattress covers are a rarity in hotels. A lady picked up from housekeeping and tells me that there are mattress protectors but they aren’t waterproof. They offered no alternative solution which was disappointing. My protection did its job but I would not recommend this hotel for bedwetters.

Bedwetting and Hot Summer Nights – Part 3

A lovely reader submitted these additional tips for keeping cool on hot summer nights, thanks for sharing!  This builds on the previous two posts on this topic: Part 1 + Part 2.

Just read your article on hot summer nights and protection.  Maybe I have grown accustomed to it during the years, but these are my strategies:

• I normally sleep without a mattress cover, I have tried it but hated it.  The leakage of my diapers is quite minimal, so I usually dare to risk this. However if I feel a bad spell is coming I wear diapers covers during winter time, in the summer time I resort to bed mats (Goodnites Bed Mats or something similar) to be absolutely safe.
• Sleepwear, in winter I normally cover up my diapers. In summer I just sleep in my diaper.  The rare occasion when I have to share a hotel room e.g. , I do wear baseball pants on top.
• Choice of diapers: based on my needs I pick a night diaper that is suitable.  Plastic backed diapers are more reliable, but during summer I only go for cloth backed material. Tena Slip Ultima is (here in Europe) my preferred choice and has a good quality breathable material.

With this strategy, I find the heat in the summer period survivable without compromises.

Hope this helps and gives you some more tips to share with your readers.

I did not stay at this hotel because not only did they not have waterproof mattress covers, they were very rude on the phone when I called to inquire. I was scouting for hotels in Galveston for business and called to ask if they had waterproof mattress protectors. A lady answered the phone and I asked to which she replied, “you mean for your bed… I don’t think so.” I waited in a long awkward silence seeing if she would confirm with housekeeping but she didn’t. I said, “Ok,” to break the silence and she told me that there weren’t any waterproof mattress covers. She didn’t even check to confirm. For this reason I decided not to stay at this hotel.
