I don't know if these are good prices but they are 20% off in the sale. Standard Double - 16.50 King-size - 27.60 Single 12.50 They are the quilted ones with 'rubber' underneath to make them waterproof. http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report

I understand you only accept adults at your establishment; do you assume that some of your adult guests may wet the bed? Otherwise why should you need them? I only ask this because if I were to book a stay at an establishment that catered for 'big people' only I would be a bit miffed to find I was sleeping on something I have not encountered since my days at kindergarten. When I have stayed at a hotel/B&B with such on the bed I have taken it off. We do use fabric protectors on our beds but not of the waterproof kind. Is 'waterproof' necessary with regards to adults? I only ask this because when we took over this place people complained about the things being on the bed. Haven't used 'em since.        Report

It is a requirement of both GDF and Clevacances and will be checked during an inspection both prearranged or 'spot' not that I know of anyone who has had the latter. These things are not the old style 'rubber' things, they look just like any normal protector, like say the antiallergenic ones. The ones I use are quilted and actually make the beds more comfortable, you wouldn't know they were there. http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report
