In additon to using a pack n play sheet to cover this mattress topper, has anyone used a quilted water proof cover as well? Or is it cushiony enough

I use a waterproof cover on the top of this mattress then I put Fitted Pack N Play Sheet. Though the waterproof cover we use can't fit wholly but it is ok for our child and it helps to prevent splits/leaks. Hope that helps!

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 a queen size pillow case over the quilted cover. I don't think one necessarily has to use the quilted cover.I didn't use one for years. Truth be told I didn't even know they had one till I seen it on Amazon and had to try it. I am soooo glad I did. Makes the pillow feel nice and soft, kind of like sleeping on a marshmallow. I love it! But if you don't want to spend that kind of money for it I think a queen or king case would work.

Put on top. It's great. I recommend their sheet, too. It becomes thick and comfortable for my son to sleep in, unlike the pack-n-play bottom alone, but it's thicker than standard pnp sheets.

I purchased a pad and cover. I don't know if it's waterproof. Sorry. However, the mattress is great! I'm very happy with the mattress!

I used one on a hide a bed in place of the original mattress. I hope to find a zippered cover but it sleeps very well even with a 300 lb adult. You can not feel the bars under you at all.

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.

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.

If your looking to add more softness/cushion to the mattress for a toddler or older child you could add the Naturepedic quilted pad. However it is not a waterproof pad.Naturepedic PC93 Non Waterproof Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress Pad

It's the same on both sides. Naturepedic makes another mattress that has a plush side and a water resistant side, but this one is the same on both...water resistant covering.

I actually bought the cool shield mattress protector first since my toddler sneaks into our room at night & on many occasions has wet our bed, but I also have the mattress cover that came with the memory foam pad as well. It seems like overkill, but I don't want my mattress pad to get ruined & the cover they sent me helps the over heating I was having while sleeping on this & I'm not sure that alone would be enough protection against my toddler wetting the bed every other night! With all that plus a fitted sheet it does not affect the comfort whatsoever.

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.

The foam part is supposed to fit inside of a sleeve on the bottom of it but I place it on top with a waterproof pad & crib sheet ...that way if they have an accident it doesn't wet through everything!

The mattress is covered with a white plastic cover. Technically, it is waterproof, but I wouldn't want to have to wipe it down and dry it off every time there's an accident. We use the waterproof naturepedic pads so you can quickly replace the sheet and pad. You wouldn't need two pads though - the waterproof pad alone is fine. Also, I had a couple of the portacrib waterproof pads (flat, not fitted) that I used when the full crib pad was being washed. I just put it in the center and never had a problem with either child wetting around the edges of the crib. It's possible of course but probably worth the gamble if you want to save some money and avoid buying extra pads.

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....

The waterproof cover is sewn onto the mattress. There have bed wets with my twin 20mo. Old boys but I wiped it clean and kept going. I have not had any problems. No mattress cover is needed.

Good morning. Forgive my delay in responding, in the hospital attending to my Dad... You are right in that the Encase Protctive Cover has a significant amount of play with regard to the depth, but though I am rather anal with my bedding, have not found this cover in any way uncomfortable, having placed the 'slack' side-which has elastic running around its perimeter- to the underside of the mattress. You do not say whether you are purchasing the cover as 'general protection,' or as a remedy for or guard against bedbugs. Having just gone through THAT horrific ordeal, let me assure you that any inconvenience that might have even remotely been perceived by the Encase Protctive Cover would have been tolerated! Once the matress pad and then the top sheet is in place, the Encase Protctive Cover cover does not move about, at all. More importantly the quality of the Encase Protctive Cover was wonderful. Soft, pliable, and without the plastic feel of several of the covers! All and all, a good choice! We are quite satisfied with them, now using the Encase Protctive Covers to protect a total of four of our mattresses and box springs. (Though I will admit to not being quite as satisfied with the box spring covers which do not seem as durable. Were I to do it again I might choose to use the mattress covers for both, despite the cost.) There you have it... Hope this has helped.
