How durable is the skirt on this mattress pad? I have had some in the past where your fingers go right threw them. Is this a problem with this one?

The skirt on the mattress pad seems to be more durable and thicker than some mattress pads I have owned. I have not had a problem with the skirt tearing but have not owned the pad very long.

We'll I just put it on a few weeks ago but it appears to be solid material that won't rip easily.

Very durable. It's hotel quality...exactly what I t trying to duplicate at HOME.

I did have to pull on it since the mattress was towards top of the thickness range and I had no issues.

Hi. It seemed very durable. I had no issue putting the pad on the skirt seemed very strong. (No fingers poking through it at all).

Coincidentally, I have a dog who sleeps on it. She is my rather stocky Olde English Bulldogge. Her nails do not damage the mattress because I bought a decently padded mattress pad. I suggest you do the same! Besides protecting the mattress from tears, the mattress pad, if washed im bleach and rinsed well, helps keep dust mites from settling in.

There are slight marks on the bottom of the mattress, but if u flip it over every couple of months like you normally would, the grooves go away w/o any lasting damage. I don't recommend sitting on the foot of the bed. There isn't proper support and the mattress does sink. Again, no damage to mattress, just uncomfortable. It's altogether a great purchase for the price. It's also pretty lightweight for a metal frame. I love mine!

Mine is doing the same thing! I've bought these before and they have been fine. Something is up with this mattress!

Hi James, Well I stopped using it a while back. It's now in my drawer of old holsters and such. On the photo you see 2 stripes. Those stripes are a cross between velcro and sticky rubber and that is what holds it between the mattress and box springs. Drawing, yep, that's why it's in the drawer. I don't think it was necessarily the fault of the holster. My mattress would move relative to the box springs resulting in the grip being forced against the mattress making it difficult to draw. The quality of the holster is fine. It's the function that fails me.Dale

We have not expierenced this problem. Have them on deep mattress and have washed many times and they are holding up very well.

I've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!

I haven't read that anywhere, but I haven't had any issues after almost 6 months of use. My mattress is still firm (comfortable) after all that time, including laying in bed while working on a laptop for long periods of time as well.

The wool mattress pad is tacked as shown in the picture. I have not had shifting or bunching. I found it immediately comfortable and still do, I have had mine for several months. I have mine in a flannel comforter cover to keep it nice and clean.

Hi Marilyn, As Austin shared, there is no skirt for this warming mattress pad. I have never actually seen a skirt on a warming mattress pad before. Hope you & yours have a safe & wonderful holiday season & all the best in 2015. Vermin

This pad is very durable. I use it to cover my bed where my 16 year old Chihuahua sleeps with me. It has been washed many times and holds up well. I have 2 so I can swap out when I wash one.It fits all the way across my Queen bed. Hope this helps.

well I have a queen with lots of extra padding on the thick mattress because I like everything very soft and cushy. Have not yet bought a bed skirt. and have not taken measurements.....sorry but its pretty flexible and can adjust it quite easily.....good luck

Hey Lesley...sorry but mine has the mesh w/those tiny dots for traction. I wash this bed on gentle in a large lingerie bag & experienced no tearing or missing dots. I usually dry outside but have also used my dryer on extra low heat w/no problems. Hope that helps!

unfortunately I'm unable to answer the question. I ended up throwing it in the trash and bought a different one from Costco. The mattress pad you are referring to slipped and would not stay in place. I ended up buying a mattress pad with elastic sides that hold in place.

YES, I have one of these on my Tempermatic mattress for ten years now. Today I took it off to inspect it. The mattress is like NEW. Not a spot on it. But I will say one thing DO NOT try to wash the protector pad. Mine said I could, I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS to the letter. I washed it alone and dryed it alone. It came out without 50% of the rubber backing or what ever it was.I can still use it on my bed BUT it would be not as effected as it once it wasI will be buying another one today

Not really sure what you mean by "sticky", but the mattress pad is covered with the same material on both sides, which is unlike the average mattress pad construction. It is a really soft, nice cotten material, so I don't think you will have any "sticky" problems with it. If you read my original review, my only complaint is that it tends to slide a little toward the side I get in and out of bed on. It does have a nice extra cotton mesh like material that extends down from the pad part, which holds it in place over the mattress. But, I think it needs some corner straps to help secure it in place. Other than that, it is really nice. I would recommend it. -Julia Morey Not really sure what you mean by "sticky", but the mattress pad is covered with the same material on both sides, which is unlike the average mattress pad construction.
