Is this meant to go directly under the sheet, or do you need a mattress pad to go over this? Which would seem to defeat the purpose...

It can go under the sheet- you can still feel the honeycomb pattern through the sheet somewhat. I did that when bubs was young (just a sheet over it) and now put a topper over it then the sheet. It still seems to add some airflow even with a mattress topper on top.

I believe it is meant to go directly under the sheet. However, my baby flips over onto his stomach all night and usually sleeps mostly in that position...the mattress topper leaves terrible marks on his face so i had to put it under a mattress pad and sheet...

It goes directly under the sheet and is fairly soft and cushy. You need a 100% cotton or another breathable fabric for the sheet.

I think it is meant to go directly under the sheet, but I guess I don't know for sure.

Yes, I put this under the sheet, no other mattress pad. It gave me some peace of mind, knowing that if my son slept on his belly, and was potentially face down that this would give him some breathing space. Especially when he was really little and didn't have as much neck control as he does now.

I would say you would have plenty of fabric to "tuck" under and that the fabrication seems to be less slippery than most sheets. (Think soft cotton T-shirt) The weight of your mattress to hold it down would be a consideration, I would think. I have a platform bed with a very heavy foam mattress that is impossible for me to lift high enough to tuck the sides under sufficiently well to "Stay Put".

It goes down the sides of the mattress completely and maybe 1 inch under. The waterproof section is only on top. The sides are fabric only. Should take care of your needs unless you have a very special circumstance.

You can put it right on top of the mattress, and put the fitted sheet over it. Sometimes the fitted sheet needs to have greater "depth" or you may need those clip on elastic corner strap thingys (sorry, can't remember the name) to help the fitted sheet to completely cover and stay attached.

Certainly - you want your fitted sheet to go over the mattress pad. Just be certain that the electrical connections at the head of the bed are secure. We LOVE our heated mattress pad - still using it!!

If you are talking about the velcro cloth strap that stops baby from moving around too much in the bassinet, then it may be under the mattress pad. That's where I found mine.

Mattress pad comes down over your entire mattress, tucking neatly under with elastic. A "topper" sounds like it would just lay on top?

Put it under a sheet. Basically you use this instead of a mattress pad. It's the same thing, just a little thicker.

It depends on how much liquid seeps through to the pad--in my experience, it protects the mattress very well, even if there is quite a lot of "liquid" seeping throughout the sheet.

There are two strips of velvet type material on the bottom to keep it from moving easily when under a sheet. If you were not going to put a sheet over it, then yes it would move easily and would not work as designed.

The thing slides between mattress and box spring. BUT first, you hook the outer end onto your sheet via the two little slots. They work well for us!

I'm not sure what you mean. This Mattress Pad is almost like a fitted sheet with netted corners to tuck over the mattress. I put this over the mattress, then I put a water-proof mattress cover over that and my fitted sheet over that. It maybe over-kill but it works. Great Buy

It goes over the mattress nicely . Mine didn't move at all . Fits like a mattress pad with sides all the way around .

We bought it for an adult using a hospital bed to keep his sheets dry, but I guess it COULD go under the sheet. That, of course, would protect the mattress but not the sheet.

The protector is not designed to be slept on so you would still need a sheet between you and the protector. The protector uses a breathable technology that works great with any type of mattress including memory foam. Hope this helps.

You can use bedding and mattress pads. They probably mean not to cover the underside of the mattress where the pad goes.

Hi James, I do not think this would be advisable. The sliding and shifting of the pad would make sleeping very uncomfortable. You would be forever adjusting the mattress pad under your sheets. BL
