Has anyone that has this spilled water on it or any liquid? Does it really protect the mattress under it?

My son has peed on it several times, it does protect the mattress very well.

Yes, this is absolutely waterproof. My three old wets her bed regularly and it does not seep through to the mattress. I can guarantee that. We bought two, to have an extra to remake the bed. I am about the order more for my sons bed right now.

YES, I have one of these on my Tempermatic mattress for ten years now. Today I took it off to inspect it. The mattress is like NEW. Not a spot on it. But I will say one thing DO NOT try to wash the protector pad. Mine said I could, I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS to the letter. I washed it alone and dryed it alone. It came out without 50% of the rubber backing or what ever it was.I can still use it on my bed BUT it would be not as effected as it once it wasI will be buying another one today

Not sure. Have never heard of that one before. This is a very nice quiet water proof mattress protector.

I run a vaccum over my mattress and cover once a month. I have never really spilled anything on it or stained it, but if I did I would probably spot clean it with a tide pen or a wet wash cloth.

This is actually made for the box "spring" not the mattress, so I am not sure. I have not spilled any liquids that would get on the box.

I guess but it is a very cheap paper/cotton cover. I can't imagine it would survive more than a couple washings. I just got a waterproof cover on Amazon for $24 well worth it. Great mattress i bought 2 and my kids love them.

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 just bought one again recently and had it on a cot overnight in some very light rain. It did NOT keep the water off the cot or out of the tent. The ONLY reason I was not soaked was because I had a thermarest pad inside the tent which kept me out of the water 1/2" of water that collected in the bottom of the tent.

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.

Be careful; this is a mattress cover, it's not a mattress pad. In short, there is no padding whatsoever. It will not affect or inhibit the properties of the mattress. I was disappointed because I expected the cover to have some substance to it, in essence it's a thin material designed to protect against spills or staining. Because of it's design, you don't get the snug fit of a pad, the corners don't have the elasticity of a pad. I've had it now for approximately six months and fortunately haven't had any spills to test its ability to repel liquids.

Yes! I have knocked it over and never a dropped spilled. Inside the lid there is a thin waxy like substance that when you put hot liquid in activates sealing it. If you tilt it while it is full I recommend waiting a moment to open it though as with the metal mesh strainer inside it takes a moment to drop back down into the cup.

Yes, but It's a hassle to zip up & put back on after drying. I know this from having my other mattress. So I purchased hypoallergenic cover and over that a water protector so the actual fabric will never get stained, dirty, soiled etc... Hey, I have kids. Hope that helps.

I have a memory foam mattress and it didn't work for me. I don't need a wetness shield. I needed something to keep me cool. It didn't help. Hope this helps

Hi So far I have not had any such problems with my mattress cover. I ordered two. One for my bed and the other for my bed in our RV.... I know I purchased an excellent product. ... Good Luck!

Urine and Fluids Protection Just one fluid accident can completely ruin an unprotected mattress and void its manufacture warranty. All of our sleep protection products are waterproof and breathable, which prevent small or large fluid accidents from permanently soiling your mattress. Mattresses are more expensive than ever making mattress protection a smart investment to ensure years of use. Most families will have several fluid spills on each of their mattresses attributed to children, pets, incontinence, drinks and even ceiling leaks. There is no better feeling after a fluid spill than knowing proactive steps were taken beforehand to ensure nothing would damage or soil the mattress. If a spill or fluid accident occurs, simply remove the protector and place directly into the washing machine with normal detergent that does not contain bleach. Once clean, tumble-dry using the low heat setting. Our mattress protectors and encasement make fluids accidents easy to recover from while at the same time providing a more sterile sleep environment.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.
