Cotton wins over polyester every time.

How Do I Use a Brolly Sheet?

Just place your Brolly Sheet on top of the fitted sheet and tuck the wings in under the mattress to hold in place.   The quilted side is the upper surface to be slept on.

Your Brolly Sheet provides an excellent layer of protection to keep the bottom sheet and mattress dry.  Please wash prior to use as this will soften the cotton and increase the absorbency.

It’s a good idea to have two – one on the bed and one in the wash – so you’re never caught out.  What’s more, they’re a cinch to wash; simply throw in the machine and then in the dryer or on the line.  Remember – avoid hot wash and dry as extremes of temperature will melt the waterproofing.  Please use cold or warm temperatures.

What Size Should I Buy?

A king single is our most popular size as it fits a single bed and a king single bed. However as Brolly Sheets are available in so many sizes, it is easy to choose the one to best fit your bed.
If you have a restless sleeper, then next size up will give you extra “tuck in”.

How do I Wash my Brolly Sheet?

Brolly Sheets are designed to be easy to change and easy to wash. Just pop in the wash with like colours and wash with cold or warm water. No soaking is needed. You can tumble dry on a low heat.

My sleeping bag liners don’t seem to be absorbent?

Our sleeping liners are not absorbent, they are waterproof. 

This is because to be absorbent, they would need a thick, absorbent layer like a Brolly Sheet has.  This would make it very hard to wash and dry out again whilst camping.    The quilted version has a little absorbency, but not as much as a Brolly Sheet. 

Our liners are designed for young children that are almost toilet trained and just want some extra piece of mind whilst away at camp or on holiday. 

Do you make liners in a larger size?

Sorry – no.

Our liners are designed for young children that are almost toilet trained and just want some extra piece of mind whilst away at camp or on holiday. 

They are 170 cm x 70 cm. 

My Duvet Inner Slides Around

Keep in mind that because the inside surface is waterproof, it is slippery.  Many of our customers pin the corners to their duvet to hold it in place.  I know, it can be a hassle, but it is easier to unpin 4 (or 6) pins than to wash most duvets. Use nappy pins if you are worried about them coming undone.

If you are changing the protector every night, we recommend that you leave your printed outer cover off the inner and use lay flat on top.  Then you are just changing the protector, not the outer cover.
