Which waterproof mattress cover do you use with this mattress?

I use the Naturepedic organic waterproof flat mattress pad. It just lays flat on the top of the mattress (no sides to wrap around the sides of the mattress), then you put a fitted sheet over it.

I put a waterproof mattress pad on this mattress cause the mattress has a fabric covering and I didn't want it to stain

I washed and dried mine according to instructions. Within two years it was no longer waterproof and was allowing liquid through and onto the mattress. I will never buy the product again but if I did I would do what others have suggested and by a pad to go on top and only wash this when you absolutely have to.

I bought a mattress cover (just a cheap one) at walmart just to save it from getting dirty. It worked well. Mine was a little padded and I think it help firm up the topper. I love it actually.

To my knowledge all five sides are waterproof unless by accident I overlooked that when I went to their web site and read up on it. I believe this is the best mattress protector I could have found and after having had it for some time now and having washed it several times I'm still very happy with it. When I get ready to replace my other mattress protectors on my other beds I will definitely purchase these again along with the pillow protectors. They are very comfortable to sleep on. No noise -- you don't even know they are there -- as it should be :)

I bought the navy blue mattress, it doesn't necessarily need a cover but you can use one to help protect it.

The mattress cover is 12" deep, the box spring encasement is only 9" deep. So, if you have a thinner mattress, it might work fine, they are stretchy. However, someone said the mattress cover is also waterproof. I have only the box spring one so I don't know.

I really don't know how to answer that. I still sleep with a down comforter over me, and I haven't really even thought about if the mattress pad is too warm. I can't stand to sleep on a waterproof mattress cover, I sweat terribly, that's why I intentionally bought one that is not water proof. Maybe that's what's happening to you.

The cover seems to be waterproof, but we stack the sheets and mattress pads anyways. We put down a mattress pad, sheet, mattress pad, then sheet, and so on about 4 layers, so in the middle of the night if the top layer gets dirty/wet, you can yank off that layer and be back in business!

I use both, since my mattress pad is a heated one I put the protector under it.

I use a waterproof sheet saver American Baby Company Organic Cotton Quilted Waterproof Sheet Saver, Natural It's the perfect size and ties right on to the four corners of the rocker. Also, the cover itself is easily removable and washable, but the sheet saver is more convenient.

The mattress is covered with a white plastic cover. Technically, it is waterproof, but I wouldn't want to have to wipe it down and dry it off every time there's an accident. We use the waterproof naturepedic pads so you can quickly replace the sheet and pad. You wouldn't need two pads though - the waterproof pad alone is fine. Also, I had a couple of the portacrib waterproof pads (flat, not fitted) that I used when the full crib pad was being washed. I just put it in the center and never had a problem with either child wetting around the edges of the crib. It's possible of course but probably worth the gamble if you want to save some money and avoid buying extra pads.

Yes , my experience with water proof covers is that they are a bit bigger than the actual mattress . I think waterproof cover and sheets are the same thing, but just to communicate clearly I am referring to a waterproof mattress cover.

It's not a separate cover - I use a waterproof mattress pad over the mattress.

I used this mattress cover for a waterbed. The top fits across the whole mattress beautifully and the sides are long enough and deep enough that they cover every part of the water mattress except the bottom. The mattress cover stays in place night after night without issue. With the cover on, I no longer have any part of the water mattress exposed. Take THAT cat!!!

We bought the "SafeRest Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector - Vinyl, PVC and Phthalate Free" here on Amazon. It is very nice, good quality and a great barrier.

Why would you? You can not wash any mattress.. The cover holds the foam together, since there is no stitching through as on normal mattresses. Just use washable fitted sheet or waterproof cover if you have concerns. Or contact Sleep Innovation's customer support - they know the best.
