So I am not supposed to use a waterproff mattress protector over this? Is it just the sheet on top?

Correct, waterproof mattress protectors will produce chemical off-gassing. I put a large organic cotton towel down on top of wrap then fitted sheet on top of that. It does still "crinkle" a bit but baby love all things that crinkle.

I doubt it because it is just top shield. It does not zip up & encase the mattress. I have a foam mattress so I don't have to worry about them anyway.

The "waterproof" part covers the top. The sides are a sheer material that is elastised at the bottom(but more snug than a sheet set. This the sides of the mattress are not protected from anything than dust,etc.

I used it for an air mattress for several months. No problem. I might have put a blanket or bedspread under the mattress to be safer, but I don't think that was necessary.

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

You use a fitted sheet on top of it. I hear rustling every now and then, but the mattress pad doesn't make you sweat. It's a great product if you have a toddler who on occasion has an accident at night. The mattress cover will save your mattress.

this will just protect the mattress and mattress pads typically add comfort to the mattress. This is just a slip cover that zips over the mattress

I did but I guess it is not necessary. The Material is a very dense White Foam Rubber, it has a slight tacky feel to it but not really sticky.The foam also is not slippery and will not slide on top of the mattress, at least mine didn't.

It is. I always put a sheet under it, so that when my son wets the bed, I can just strip the wet sheet and mattress pad and he can go right back to sleep on the clean dry sheet.It does eventually lose it, though. There was a time I was washing and drying it twice a day. After literally hundreds of washes, it started leaking through. Most people won't be washing it quite as much as I did, so that wouldn't be a problem for quite a while. I still use it for the extra padding, and plan on buying a new one for his bed.

I had the same prob. The manufacturer suggested an extra mattress pad on top. I put two and it worked like a charm!

Place it under the mattress cover. This is still a good way to protect your mattress and have a comfortable separation between between to the topper/mattress and your sheets. I put a thin mattress pad cover over the mattress and topper combination and then a very plush one over the whole ball of wax. I couldn't be happier!

For me / us yes with one caveat... Our original very thick mattress protector with padding that we placed over the latex seemed to reduce the venting / coolness of the latex itself. A change to a very light mattress protector over the latex and then our bottom sheet did the trick. Still very much like this product months later I have zero complaints and sleep very comfortably. Good luck!

I have a hypoallergenic topper on top of it..then a bed sheet over my topper....so I am not lying on top of mattress cover.. So I really can't answer your question....

No it isn't, it is part of the construction of the mattress. But you can purchase removable washable covers to fit over them.

No need to. The bamboo mattress cover is waterproof and is a must! The mattress itself doesn't need any pads.

If you are referring to the white clothlike bag that the mattress arrived in, yes. My wife and I just put a waterproof mattress pad (we have dogs) and the sheets right over that. No issues. Now, that being said, foam mattresses are not exactly uniform like a cloth and spring mattress is.
