Is it waterproof or must I add a waterproof mattress cover ?

I don't know ,I use it for my 13 year old son for allergies reason from dust mites. But I added another sheet on top an way.

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.

Yes , my experience with water proof covers is that they are a bit bigger than the actual mattress . I think waterproof cover and sheets are the same thing, but just to communicate clearly I am referring to a waterproof mattress cover.

No you don't. I've never even bought a mattress protector cause all my son's toddler mattresses are the waterproof material. Just wipe clean in case of a accident. Until they're in a regular twin mattress, you really don't need the protectors.

This is a complete mattress with a waterproof cover. It has multiple air cells that in/de flate to prevent pressure on an area for a prolonged time. The firmness can be adjusted. I bought it for my elderly father to prevent decubitus ulcers and be is still using it a year later with no problems. Hope this helps.

This is very thin. I purchased this because a mattress pad is to thick to throw in the washing machine. So, to answer your question, an addition. And this is waterproof.

there is some non organic materials in it. that is one of the only ways to make it a water proof cover. I have two of these covers. the outer/top layer is very think organic fabric. the inner, the part that comes incontact with the mattress is the non organic part. Overall I would recommend this product.

The cover itself is very thin. --so I would say, 'no.' I would advise covering mattress as soon as it is set-up with a thick quality mattress cover and plan on washing this periodically rather than attempting to wash the thin covering that comes with mattress. --lacking that I would cover it with a queen quality comforter to serve as a protection to the mattress.

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.

Yes it is water proof. Now I just recently purchased my mattress encasements, but it help up well for the first wash.

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

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

Best mattress ever. The material that covers the foam is waterproof but not removable. Do you would be wiping the mattress itself if need be. I use a seperate waterproof mattress pad so I can just throw it in the wash but I guess you wouldn't need to.

I don't believe it is waterproof and from my experience,water proof mattress covers are hot. I have been thinking of rewriting my review tho. I do not find that the coolness lasts very long and actually am not that happy with the mattress pad . You can move to a cooler spot,but then your body heat just warms that up.

The bamboo cover helps the mattress to breath and inhibit bacteria growth but does not protect from water getting into the mattress and causeing bacteria. I would still recommend a waterproof cover if your worried about water damage.

There is no separate cover, same as any crib mattress. It is waterproof and has the added benefit of a side seam so vomit, etc. won't pool on corner seams (because it has none). It is wise, like any crib mattress, to get a waterproof mattress cover because then you won't have to clean the mattress. Just pop the cover in the washer and you're done.

I guess but it is a very cheap paper/cotton cover. I can't imagine it would survive more than a couple washings. I just got a waterproof cover on Amazon for $24 well worth it. Great mattress i bought 2 and my kids love them.
