Abstract:
1. A bedding assembly for managing incontinence comprising: a top layer having a top and bottom surface and made of a material that wicks away liquid from the top surface downward to the bottom surface; an absorbent layer having a top and bottom surface and positioned directly below the top layer and made of a material that is more absorbent than the top layer; a waterproof layer having a top and bottom surface positioned below the absorbent layer; a liquid sensor that is positioned in a location in the bedding assembly selected from the group consisting of: within the top layer, the bottom surface of the top layer, between the top layer and the absorbent layer, and the top surface of the absorbent layer, wherein the liquid sensor is configured to be in operable communication with a receiving and notification device wherein the top layer and the absorbent layer in addition to the liquid sensor are quilted together with thread in multiple rows and columns and wherein the liquid sensor is an electrical circuit made of metallic yarn or thread and is configured to detect a change in electrical resistance when a conductive liquid is present in the circuit and wherein the electrical circuit is configured to emit an electronic signal to the receiving device when the conductive liquid is detected.
