What type of mattress cover do you recommend? My daughter still wets the bed periodically and I want to be sure to preserve the pad! Thanks!

I recommend one by a brand we sell called Naturepedic. It has a great waterproof barrier. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Naturepedic-Waterproof-Organic-Mattress-Protector/dp/B001BKG5YI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?m=A2T4Y4GS7H8WU&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1427733764&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=waterprrof+queen+pad I added the link to the queen size since your question was in regards to the queen mattress topper.

I'm checking out this bed because it's waterproof (or supposed to be). How did your dog urinate through the waterproof cover? Is it not what it claims to be?

Considering the firmness of the mattress, we found the mattress pad to be a big plus in added comfort. I'm not sure if it's necessary for wetness protection though.

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.

I'm envisioning you thinking of some kind of wooden covering! It's a very nice removable, soft and washable cover so the mattress stays clean. If you need a waterproof mattress cover for some reason I suppose you'll just have to buy one separately.

We bought a mattress cover from a mattress store. That will take care of the problems later. I would ask a mattress store. They know the answers. Good luck!

The only mattress/pad that I have came with my pack and play and the cover fits perfect. It stays in place and fits very snug. The fabric is very soft and washes nicely. Hopes this helps!

My mattress pad never smelled at all! I am sorry that yours does. I am guessing you have washed it and the smell is still there?! I would tell Amazon about it and get them to replace it with another one. NO reason at all for the smell to linger......

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 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 purchased two of these mattress pad covers: one for a Graco brand, and one for a Chicco brand pack 'n play. I think it fits fine on the pads that come in the pack 'n plays, as well as a 3 inch deep mattress I also bought to put in the bottom of one of these when the baby gets older. I washed them in the washing machine, and hung to dry just to make sure they stayed in great shape.

We didn't use a separate cover since the pad is heavy enough that it doesn't move. We used a mattress cover that was simply deep enough to cover both mattress and latex. Since we purchased a basic, firm mattress that wasn't too thick with this solution in mind, it works great. There are also covers that completely zip around a mattress if you want to go that route, but as I have a king-size mattress (unwieldy) and wanted to be able to periodically launder the cover, we didn't do that.

I always use a mattress protector for my bed, so I may be a little biased. It works well. I dropped a pen in my bed the other day. I have also read comments about people concerned about sweating on the memory foam.

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

I am wondering the same thing, I found on a website that polyethylene is the best protectant to use on matress for water and bug protection,. that wool is the best natural retardant, even these soy foam mats are no good as its 10% at most. I have not been able to find a decent bed for the kids under 600 bucks! Would love to know what you have found. We tossed the beds matresses and all, kids are sleeping in collapsible camp cots and trying out 100% cotton hammock! LOL We were having issues with morning coughs and runny noses at night no more sense the change.

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.
