Now I have enough information to write an accurate, balanced article. Let me note that the “Hipseat” in the title appears to be the brand name (Hippychick is known for their Hipseat carrier), not a specific mattress protector product line name. The article title uses “Hipseat” as part of the brand identity. I’ll write about the Hippychick mattress protector accurately.

Good. I have enough to write a well-informed, accurate article. The post title uses “Hipseat” as part of the brand reference — I’ll handle this naturally, noting that Hippychick is the brand (known for the Hipseat carrier) and their mattress protectors are a separate product line from the same brand. I’ll write the article treating “Hippychick Hipseat Mattress Protector” as a search query parents might use, clarifying as needed.

What Is the Hippychick Mattress Protector?
Hippychick is a British baby and children’s brand best known for its Hipseat baby carrier. Their waterproof mattress protectors are a separate product line — though searches for “Hippychick Hipseat mattress protector” are common, simply because the brand name and their best-known product get used together. What you’re looking at is a fitted, terry-towelling mattress protector with a waterproof polyurethane (PU) backing, aimed at protecting children’s beds from moisture — including bedwetting accidents.
If you’ve landed here because you’re trying to work out whether it’s the right choice for your child’s situation, this article covers exactly what the product does, where it works well, and where it has limits.
What the Hippychick Mattress Protector Actually Does
The Hippychick mattress protector fits like a standard fitted sheet. It has a terry cotton surface on top — soft and quiet — with a polyurethane waterproof membrane bonded to the underside. The elasticated skirt wraps around the mattress to hold it in place overnight.
Its job is to protect the mattress from moisture passing through. It does this well. What it does not do is absorb or hold urine — liquid that reaches its surface will pool rather than soak in, and will pass to bed linen above it or to the sides. That distinction matters a great deal for bedwetting families.
Sizes available
- Cot (approximately 70 × 140 cm) — suitable for toddlers still in a cot bed
- Single (approximately 90 × 190–200 cm) — the most relevant size for school-age children
- Double (approximately 135 × 190 cm) — useful if a child co-sleeps or moves to a larger bed
Care instructions
Machine washable at 60°C, which matters for hygiene when managing regular bedwetting. Most parents wash at this temperature as standard for overnight accidents. Tumble drying on a low heat is
