Chucks – hospital bed pads

Chucks are the same bed pads used in the hospital. They protect your bed from your business. They are large and can be used to reposition if needed.

Description

We learned about chucks during my hospital stay in January 2025. We thought the nurses were joking when they called them chucks. They told us they were called chucks because you chuck them out when you’re done with them. Haha!

We use these on my bed to keep it clean. At the hospital they use three at a time which can get pricey. We use pee pads with them to keep the price down. Chucks are larger than the pee pads which makes bed protection more complete.
