Is this wet proof? Or will my mattress become wet with spills or if my baby pees on it?

This is not a mattress protector per se. If moisture is allowed to sit on the surface for an extended period of time, it will eventually work its way through. Your best bet for 100% waterproofing is to use a mattress protector with a waterproof backing, with the washable wool mattress pad over the top.

I would guess that it is not water 'proof' - maybe best described as moisture-resistant. It would depend on the amount of liquid, whether it soaks through. It is machine washable though.

Yes I believe the mattress is washable , I think this was too small for me thought , my grandchildren are 7 months old and i bought it for our trailer and they just fit in it.. so not sure how old the baby is you are using it for..hope all this helps..Brenda

It doesn't let moisture make its way down to the the mattress.The mattress pad its self will get get wet in its top layer of material but it is waterproof. It is also not crinkly or noisy like cheap or old versions of waterproof mattress pads. When i took it out of wash a couple days ago i actually noticed how well it is holding up.

Absolutely not. This is really expensive, and waterproof mattresses wipe right off. Also, anything fitted isn't very fast or easy to put on or off a crib mattress when it's in a crib. Much easier to clean the mattress itself. Also, this pad isn't really padded.

It is very thin and I don't even know it is there, it is supposed to be waterproof but I have not put that to the test. I bought it to protect my Memory Foam mattress against stains to protect the warranty. if you do get it prewash it but be sure to do only delicate and very low heat so not will not damage it. There is no padding for that would defeat the foams function. Hope this helps and I will be glad to answer any other questions that I can.

I'm sorry, I can't answer this. I've not had a spill on it yet. I haven't washed it either. All the reviews, on all the mattress protectors, that I read said they had problems with the protector being waterproof after washing. That didn't seem to vary with the brand. Therefore, I'm trying not to wash it. I keep a regular cotton mattress pad over this one to keep it clean.

It's definitely just a waterproof protective layer - would not purchase it if you are solely looking for more comfort. Just remember that baby mattresses are supposed to be firm (and babies will sleep just fine). This layer is made really well though - not flimsy like some other brands. We are very happy with it!

I bought waterproof covers just in case but the mattress itself has a vinyl(?) case that is non-removable. I've had to put a sheet over just the mattress when I've run out of waterproof covers and it didn't seem to be affected by a pee-accident at all... I just cleaned it off and it was fine, it didn't feel like it had been penetrated.

The cover isn't noisy. I don't know about mattress protection. I haven't tested it with a spill, I sleep cool and mattress looks OK when I wash the cover. It washes, dries and looks good. Price was good for what is promised. Good Luck

In my opinion the material is water resistant, not completely water proof. We used a bunch in light rain and snow and our baby always stayed dry.

The cover is waterproof, but it is not a separate cover. Despite the fact that it is waterproof, we also use an American Baby organic waterproof mattress cover, bought from Amazon also. It's a super snug fit and adds a little extra comfort to the mattress. Highly recommend it to go with this mattress!

Yes, this is a waterproof mattress. Or at least highly water resistant as i have not tried to fully submerge it.

The protector will hold liquids indefinitely, but you may smell urine on the mattress after an accident briefly as the protector is breathable (air passes through). This is just the smell and not the actual liquid and will go away quickly on it's own.

Yes, but it isn't waterproof. If your newborn leaks it might still get on the actual matress therefore defeating the purpose of a matress cover.

It's water resistant but still a fabric. Our son still wets through his PJs on occasion and it hasn't seemed to wet the mattress, but it is fabric, not plastic like his old one. If you're expecting big messes, waterproof covering may be a good idea, but we didn't want him sleeping on plastic. So far so good on this, and it's sturdy and comfortable.

I use a regular mattress pad over top of this. My thirteen year old has spilled water on it and it was fine.

It's def waterproof but i still use a mattress pad b/c I don't want any spills/spit ups to stain it. You can easily wipe up any mess but it might get discolored
