A patient underpad characterized in its ability to provide cushioning for a patient and to readily absorb large volumes of liquid in a manner such that the liquid absorbed does not thereafter irritate the patient. The underpad includes a moisture-impervious bottom layer, a moisture-absorbing layer covering the bottom layer and a closed cell, expanded thermoplastic top layer covering the moisture-absorbing layer and having perforations or openings therethrough of sufficient number and size to permit liquids, such as body excretions, to freely pass therethrough to be absorbed by the moisture-absorbing layer while supporting the patient in spaced relation from the liquid absorbed by the moisture-absorbing layer.
