A maternity mattress is used preventively before and during childbirth to protect your bed mattress against leakage of amniotic fluid and/or urine. The maternity mattress is highly absorbent, which means that the moisture is absorbed and changes into a gel, so that no more moisture is felt. The soft top layer and the non-woven side are very skin-friendly. The underside of the maternity mattress does not move. There is no chance of leakage.
