Description
The Quik-Sorb Reusable Underpad with Tucks adds side tucks to the washable birdseye pad so the flaps can be tucked under the mattress to anchor it in place. The pad itself measures 36 x 36 inches, sized for full bed coverage at home or in a facility.
- Side Tucks Anchor the Pad – Flaps tuck under the mattress – the pad cannot skate around under a restless patient
- Birdseye Cotton Face – 100 percent cotton birdseye top layer – soft and cool where it touches the skin
- Non-Leak Backing – The bottom layer resists leaks and protects the mattress – fluid stays in the pad
- Deluxe Tuckable Format – The 36 x 36 inch deluxe pad carries tuck flaps on both sides – full coverage plus anchoring in one pad
The Pad That Stays Where the Nurse Put It
Loose underpads migrate. They bunch under turning patients, slide during transfers, and end up protecting the wrong part of the bed, which is why this Quik-Sorb variant carries side tucks: the flaps go under the mattress and hold the 36 by 36 inch absorbent zone flat and registered over the area that needs it.
The pad itself is the line's standard washable construction, a cotton birdseye face that absorbs and traps wetness over a non-leak bottom layer, rated by the manufacturer for up to 300 washes. It suits a facility standardizing its beds or a home caregiver who wants a pad that stays registered over the area that needs it.

Why Tucks Change the Night Shift
Every repositioned patient is a chance for a loose pad to fold, and a folded pad protects nothing. Tucking the flaps under the mattress turns pad placement into a one-time task instead of a check on every round.
- Stays Registered – Tucked flaps hold the absorbent zone over the hips – protection survives turning and transfers
- Flat, Not Bunched – An anchored pad lies flat – no ridge of folded pad under the patient's back
- Anchored Coverage – Tucks plus a 36 inch square of absorbency – the pad stays where it was placed, all night
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the tucks work?
The side flaps extend past the absorbent zone and tuck under the mattress. That anchors the pad so it stays flat and in position under the patient.
How many pads are in this listing?
This listing is one pad, sold individually. The pad measures 36 x 36 inches plus its tuck flaps.
How long will the pads last?
The manufacturer rates Quik-Sorb pads for up to 300 washings each. Careful laundering is how a pad reaches that rating, so follow the care instructions with every wash.
Does the backing leak?
The underside is a non-leak surface engineered to keep fluid contained in the pad. The tucks handle position, and the backing handles moisture.
Is the top layer really cotton?
Yes, the face is 100 percent cotton birdseye. The barrier sits in the bottom layer rather than the face.
