bed mat

Thin floor mattress

A bed mat is a thin pad placed on or beside a bed.

It may serve as a simple sleeping surface itself—common in minimalist or traditional settings—or as cushioning for someone getting in and out of bed: The nursing home placed bed mats on the floor to protect patients from falls.

In some contexts, bed mat refers to a waterproof or absorbent liner placed atop a mattress.
