is there anything that covers the foam like a waterproof plastic covering to prevent smelly body fluids from ruining the foam?

You have to buy a the liner separate. It is well worth it. Liner goes on and off very easily. You will not regret it, well worth the price!

I don't think so. I put the foam on right away...only leaving it until that night to sleep on. The odor was slight..at least to me. I did not receive any instructions on waiting.

It has a cover to go over the foam so it has a nice finished look but the cover is not waterproof. I always recommend a mattress cover on any mattress.

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.

I bought the cover that goes over and I recommend the plastic flapping gate. This solved that problem. I spray Intinsiti NuClean on the inside of the dome and over the plastic beads. This Metabolic chemical breaks apart the Urea and fecal matter pieces and eliminates any odor that may occur on a 24/7 basis. I highly recommend it to any owner of this device. Here is a link that I buy it from. http://hoodcleaningsupplies.com/Intinsiti-Metabolic-Chemicals_c89.htm Amazon may not let me put the link, so if it doesn't show, do a Google Search for "NuClean" and Hood Cleaning Supplies to find it. They only sell by the case, but it is worth every penny. I can't smell any odor at all now. It used to really put off a foul odor (as the urine sits in the bottom of the unit till the next time it cycles).

It is made of foam and soft plastic with elastic. I didn't detect any odor at all and it wipes off easily

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.

I put a mattress pad on it. It will keep the foam clean longer. I suppose you wouldn't have to. But I do

No smell. It's the reason why I went with honest foam versus the other kind.

it's closed cell foam with a nylon cover... Iv'e never gotten it wet... so I can't really say.

No there is not. It comes in a plastic wrapper. Once removed, it is just the foam. Hope this helps!

The foam is covered. We bought an additional waterproof mattress cover to keep the original cover clean.

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.

I use a heavy duty reusable liner by Planet Wise, and have had no problem with smells leeching into the plastic.I am not sure how to fix the problem once it has happened though.

Try glycerin shaving soap and a badger brush ... if you do it right you'll get as much foam as from any can.

As far as I'm aware...no. However, I had my mom make a simple waterproof slip cover over the part if the pillow where my little feeds. It prevents the foam from getting any milk on it. Before I had the slip cover, I just put a receiving blanket or a cloth diaper down before I put my little one on. Hope this helps!

From what I've been reading, there aren't a lot of foam products that are Nitrocellulous safe. Most people recommend putting a cotton sock over the prongs just to be on the safe side.
