I absolutely LOVE the Handy's Plus Pad. I purchased 5 of the full-size pads for my son over a year and a half ago and I think they are GREAT. My 4-year old has slept in a full-size bed since he turned 2. These pads really work (no leaks!), are comfortable and wash-up well. I only have 2 complaints ... 1. the side-flaps aren't quite long enough to fully tuck under if you have a pillow-top mattress (although you can make it work if one side of the bed is against the wall and you pull the opposite side really tight) AND 2. the top and bottom of the pad tend to "curl up" after several washings. Despite these complaints, I have not been able to find a pad that is even near the quality and comfort of this one. The reason that I own 5 of these is that, if you truly want "full" coverage on the bed for a child that rolls all over while sleeping, you need to use 2 with some slight overlap (so, 2 to use and 2 for back-up). I also use one (full-size) on the Spinmaster Flip-Open Sofa to keep spills and accidents from staining the sofa. The full-size fully covers the full-length of the sofa. I think this is a "must have" product for parents of toddlers that don't want to be constantly changing bed sheets or trying to "wash" a children's sofa that really isn't meant to be washed.
(fyi ... If you like Basic Comfort's Ultimate Crib Sheet, then you'll also like their Handy's Plus Pad. The Handy's Plus Pad is basically the Ultimate Crib Sheet with side flaps and without the snaps. In fact, the pad portion of the Handy's Plus Pad Full size is almost the same size as the Ultimate Crib Sheet.)
This pad has performed as expected and the extra length on the sides makes it easier to tuck under the mattress to keep it from moving. However, the photo gives the impression of covering more of the bed than it truly does. Take the measurements seriously don't rely on the photo. I needed to play with it to see where on the bed it would be the most effective.
Buy Basic Comfort Handy's Plus Pad Now
I bought the Handy's Plus Pad because, while our son has been potty trained for nearly a year, he sleeps so soundly that he doesn't wake up all the time to go pee at night, and I've had it with changing the bed sheets everyother night! This pad is a great item, it's soft on the top so my son doesnt mind sleeping on it and it really works keeping the sheets dry. My son sleeps all over the place and it's plenty wide enough to give the coverage we need. And it's never leaked through. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that it's tough to tuck the far side in when you have the bed up against the wall like we do. I'm not sure how they could make this better, but they should work on figuring out a way. ;) I only wish I'd gotten 2!!

This product is great if you have a child that still wets at night. The overnight diapers don't always contain everything and I would be washing sheets and mattress pads several times per week. With this cover (I purchased 2) we just change the waterproof pad and then I wash both when both are soiled. It cuts way down on the laundry!
One suggestion, the picture for the twin size pad is likely of the pad on a crib mattress. Pay attention to the measurements that are provided. It is not that large on a regular twin size mattress. I actually purchased 2 of the full size, which in my opinion was the perfect size for my son's twin size mattress, and only a few $ more.

I am not happy with this product at all. It is much too small. Of the 4 times my daughter has peed the bed with this on, three times she's "missed". Also, I ended up having to put in under the fitted sheet because it got bunched up so much when she was sleeping. Kinda defeats the purpose of just being able to pull it off quickly in the middle of the night. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because when she did pee on the pad, it didn't leak through. If you want something to pull right off, then get two and put them both on the bed.

It's a great product, but needs a longer handle. Being an older person, my reaching ability is limited, and a longer handle would be more comfortable. Maybe the company will invent an adapter to extend the reach! Hopefully.
