How Do Leakproof Washable Mats Actually Work?

Leakproof washable mats rely on layered construction rather than a single waterproof surface. Each layer serves a specific purpose, working together to protect what’s underneath while remaining comfortable on top.

The Layered Design

Most high-quality washable mats include:

  • A soft, absorbent top layer that pulls in moisture quickly

  • An internal absorbent core that holds liquid 

  • A waterproof backing layer that prevents liquid from leaking through

PeapodMats use a certified TPU waterproof layer rather than vinyl or PVC, helping keep the mat flexible, quiet, and safe for everyday use.
