We have an Angel Care breathing monitor pad under our mattress. Has anyone used this with the Angel Care monitor? Does it interfere with it? Thanks!

Hi there! No, the Dex Baby Miracle Mat Breathable Crib Matress Pad does not interfere with the Angel Care monitor. I've used both in my son's crib for the last 9 months and never had any issues. You may, however, need to increase the sensitivity on the Angel Care monitor since it's working thru an added layer just to ensure it is picking up your baby's movement/breathing! I absolutely love both products...a must have for all babies!!!

It doesn't interfere with the monitor. I bought this pad and I have the same angel care monitor it didn't interfere at all.

It stays under the mattress...I inflate it occasionally...about 2 seconds worth...I have not had a 'gerds' incident since I got this...I love it! I have tried different heights to see the minimum that works...and it is not that high...just a little keeps me from waking up not being able to breathe.

I used the hospital bed pads. If you have a washable pad that works as well.

I bought this as an allergen protector..it sits under a regular mattress pad and 2" memory foam mattress topper..only way to survive college life! However, as a care-giver for a 94 yr old his seems to work fine. ..haven't tried just pouring water right on it though. Have you thought of putting the mattress in a zip-on plastic cover and then using this one on top? Sure to stay dry that way...

I use a Babesafe Mattress wrap. Before that I used Carter's Keep Me Dry flannel mattress pads. They were perfect because they lay right on top and don't wrap around the edges. Now that the mattress is wrapped I don't use anything.

It does go under the sheet. It is a mattress pad. The cords can tuck under the mattress to not interfere with the sheet or other covers. The control is attached at the head of the bed so it can be set on the night stand.

As far as I could tell it was safe, we did use it with the heated mattress pad. However, we discontinued using it altogether after a very short time because we found it to be a poorly designed item. It shifted, and in shifting it pushed the mattresses apart! Maybe if your mattress is heavier you will have better luck.

I have my sensor placed on the floor next to my mothers bed. It took some trial and error to get placement right but now when anything goes off the top of the bed, foot , sock etc. the alarm sounds and I look at the video monitor to see if she's awake or if need to go in.

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

My baby wasn't swaddled when we began using this but I believe it will work with swaddling. It's highly sensitive and has worked great for us. I don't like the flashing light on it that indicates breathing/movements and I wish there was a better solution for the alarm. We can't hear it across our apt with the doors closed to each room but we can hear it through the monitor.

Yes, we use Gerber swaddlers with Velcro strips and put them on very snug. Have had no problems. The monitor will register the slightest movements.

Yes. We use the monitor with our bassinet which has a very thin pad, no mattress at all. It works just fine.

We put a mattress pad on our Sleep Innovations 4 inch pad, so we don't anticipate having to clean it. We have discarded the information that came with the pad but I'm sure that if you Google Sleep Innovations you can get their web site info and ask them directly.

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!

We put it under a sheepskin. The company does not recommend using with foam. Great company, you can call and chat with them. I recommend the mattress pad style for just sleeping. My friend has purchased three styles of this product and both she and I are very pleased with how our body aches are greatly reduced and sleep much improved.

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.

Not at all. I do have a standard mattress pad on it though. Nothing special just to protect the mattress. Very comfortable.
