It's very slightly water proof. By that I mean if you spill a little bit and are quick enough you will be able to wipe it before it gets everything wet. It's not made of vinyl, so eventually the wetness will get through to your mattress.

It doesn't let moisture make its way down to the the mattress.The mattress pad its self will get get wet in its top layer of material but it is waterproof. It is also not crinkly or noisy like cheap or old versions of waterproof mattress pads. When i took it out of wash a couple days ago i actually noticed how well it is holding up.

I dont think it is waterproof I have an older dog who sometimes urinates in her sleep and when it has happened when she is on the couch it has gone through the cover and onto my couch I now keep washable puppy pads under these covers for this reason as they are waterproof but not very attractive

It is made of felt. I don't know if it is waterproof, have it under my bed.

Our daughter has used this mattress for four months (she is now 10 months). We do not use a waterproof pad, just a sheet. If there is ever anything wet on her sheets (formula, urine, etc) you can just use a washcloth. It has a very durable vinyl cover in my opinion.

no it is not waterproof. however, I put another mattress pad on top of it to keep it from getting wet as mine does not wet the bed but takes drinks to his bedroom and sometimes spills them on the bed. It is still very soft and he doesn't seem to notice the extra covering but it would probably be even more luxurious with the extra mattress pad. Hope this helps.

You need a cover or it will get dirty. I use a waterproof pad over it (but under the cover) also because it doesn't have a water barrier.

The mattress cover is waterproof, but the boxspring cover does not appear to be.

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.

It's waterproof. I've also found that changing table mattress covers work great as a cover too.

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.

I use it as a mattress pad. If you are looking for padding this is not the cover to buy. It is very thin so it doesn't take away from the comfort of the mattress. It is waterproof so if water is spilled on the mattress it will be protected.

I haven't tested it I bought a cover for it when I ordered the mattress. You can never be too careful. Always buy a cover anyway. It's easier to toss in the wash and be sure it's sterile, rather than spray and wipe clean.

No, mine was not waterproof at all. It was essentially a bed sheet. I returned it for this reason and the seller responded to say that they never claimed it was waterproof.

The cover is waterproof, but it is not a separate cover. Despite the fact that it is waterproof, we also use an American Baby organic waterproof mattress cover, bought from Amazon also. It's a super snug fit and adds a little extra comfort to the mattress. Highly recommend it to go with this mattress!
