Question
Hello, I was looking at your disposable stretcher sheets and was wondering would they fit over a twin size bed?My sister cares for our elder mother who often has accidents and I thought maybe there was something disposable to use instead of a regular sheet that always has to be washed. I see there are different sizes so I will have her measure the mattress but a standard twin sheet is 39X76 and you have some that would work. Just didn't know if they would go over the thickness of a mattress.Would appreciate some help on this before I purchase them.Thank you.

Answer

Dear Elizabeth:

The size shown on the product description is the actual size for the sheet.  Consequently, when measuring the mattress allow for the thickness of the mattress as well.

Answer

Dear Sipho,

Thank you for the inquiry, however your question is very complex.  What exactly are you searching for?  The contents of a dressing tray?  The dimensions of the tray, itself? The specifications of the items inside the tray?  The type of material the tray is made of?  Please advise.
