What cover do you recommend for this mattress topper (or will any standard cover work)?

I use a padded cover called the "cuddle bed" that I bought through Costco, and it is extremely comfortable. You could use deep pocket type sheets or most likely any store bought cover if you measure the height of your mattress with the topper on.

We didn't use a separate cover since the pad is heavy enough that it doesn't move. We used a mattress cover that was simply deep enough to cover both mattress and latex. Since we purchased a basic, firm mattress that wasn't too thick with this solution in mind, it works great. There are also covers that completely zip around a mattress if you want to go that route, but as I have a king-size mattress (unwieldy) and wanted to be able to periodically launder the cover, we didn't do that.

We used a mattress pad that is made of cotton and filled with natural wool. The combination is heavenly.

I totally had trouble finding sheets to fit!! Since it's so much thicker than cheapo mattresses, it was a challenge. What I found worked GREAT were the Circo brand jersey knit sheets from Target. They are so stretchy (and soft!) and fit great. I also have one Pottery Barn sheet that was given to us that happens to work well, and a Dr. Seuss flannel sheet found on Amazon.com that was labeled "deep pockets." These all work well - Id recommend the Circo jersey knit or any that say they are deep pocket - these tend to be more expensive higher quality sheets. They will all say they fit "standard" crib mattresses, so the dimensions won't do much good - stretchier sheets fit much better than standard woven sheets. Good luck! It was worth the search in order to have the mattress!

A standard crib mattress fit ours. We purchased sealy soybean mattress on amazon and it works great! All our sheets are standard fitted sheets over a waterproof crib cover. We love the crib!

I took it off and use regular fitted sheets with a nice thread count. Mine didn't slide off too badly, but I still replaced it with regular sheets because they are easy to wash, and microfiber, which is what the cover is made of, collects too much dust. It's a great bed otherwise!

It does come with a thin cover so I still put a mattress protector over it. I was gonna go with a quilted one but decided to just use a basic mattress protector and it works fine. The mattress is so comfortable I don't need the added cushion of a quilted protector.

If your sheet barely fits now and you want one sheet to cover both the topper AND your current mattress, I would suggest using a flat sheet and tucking it in around the entire mattress or get a set of deep pocket sheets. Another alternative is to just put your fitted sheet on the topper and tuck in the rest as you will be sleeping on that and not the regular mattress. Best wishes.

Hi this is super old so I don't know if you'll see it, but Phoenix over at Mattress Underground really knows his stuff about mattresses and what to do in this situation. He's got a great long standing forum that covers everything you've ever wanted to know and more about mattresses and toppers and materials. ( I know this sounds like I'm a paid shill, but I'm not... I swear. :) I've just had really good luck over there when I've had questions of this sort.)

This vinyl mattress cover seems to be just right...Not too heavy and not too light. It works for me! Just a suggestion...I put a cotton mattress cover over it.

NO cover with the polyurethane mattress. The cheap 5" mattress I bought was complete waste of money.

I added a pillow top (Hollander Ultimate 400 Tc Cuddlebed) for extra comfort. Completely changed my bed and the comfort. Highly recommend. If you are concerned about protection and are only using the memory foam topper I would definitely get a mattress cover.

I've never seen a cover sold with it. A thin mattress cover will work and I'd recommend doing that.

A flat sheet is best. It is very high and no sheet or mattress cover is deep enough. I used a cotton quilt with a flat sheet over that.

I know exactly what you are saying! I have one that fits on the mattress like an envelope. Impossible to do on these heavy mattresses. No worries ....This cover has elastic corners and goes on like a fitted sheet - much easier

There is no cover with this and I don't think one is available. I just used a mattress pad over it

The cover makes what was unbearable, bearable. If you had used a comforter on your old mattress, it will make the Tempurpedic too warm even with the cover. You need to use a thinner blanket along with the cover.
