Abstract
In an inflatable pad or mattress, or a pad of fluid impervious material for holding fluids of any type, securement straps are provided of the same sheet of film material which is used to form the main portion of the pad. The securement straps are designed to fit around and under the corners of a standard bed mattress to hold the pad in position on the mattress. The film material which forms the main body of the pad is die cut such that four straps are provided at each of the four corners of the pad with each strap being connected to the pad at approximately the center of the ends of the pad and at a point along the side of the pad spaced from the corner.
