What are the sides made of? Our current mattress protector has sides made of something so delicate that it got all ripped up.

The sides of the mattress pad are a soft cotton material. It is sturdy, and does not rip like some I've had in the past. My previous mattress pad, which is identical to this new one, is seven years old, and it is totally in tact. It has been washed over and over again, and is good as new.

While I can't answer the question with a proper answer, I can say that the material is not the same as the protective material on the top. I suppose if you have pets that have torn your last protector your probably in the same boat with this item. I love this item, so while I know my comments aren't helpful in your case, I will continue to recommend this product.

Hello, There is a plastic protector that the mattress is wrapped in when delivered. However, there is no plstic type material at all in the mattress itself. Thank you, Babyhaven

To prevent heat buildup keeping our protectors cool and noiseless, the surface material is made with soft cotton terry back coated with a breathable polyurethane membrane. To ensure a great fit, an elastic band is used on the side skirt to automatically pull excess material under the mattress.

It is a mattress cover that fits around the mattress like a fitted sheet. The top is quilted, puffy, soft & filled with micro fibers. The sides are made a thinner material similar to other mattress covers.

I cannot see this scratching the covers on either side, due to the fact they are made with a soft material, backed by what appears to be heavy duty cardboard.

vinyl. I don't quite trust it, so I use a second cover that is vinyl with terrycloth. If that fails, the bottom one will protect the mattress (I hope.)

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.

Mattress protector only covers the top. Nothing for the sides and bottom. The only thing covering the sides is the material needed to hold the mattress protector on the mattress.

I talked with a sales rep from Sleep EZ and he told me that the mattress cover is made with an organic cotton knit material. He also told me that they use 1/4 inch of rayon as a fire retardant on each side and include 1 inch of soy foam under the cover on each side for a plush feeling. He also told me that the firm side of the mattress consists of 4 inches of Dunlop natural latex with a 40 ILD rating and the medium firm side consists of 3 inches of Dunlop latex with a 26 ILD rating. The company now has a label on each side of the mattress to identify which side of the mattress is firm and which side is medium firm

No. its not. That is why I got this one. Our last mattress cover had a plastic side that was very noisy. This one does not but it really does protect your mattress.

Plastic coating on the mattress. We used a mattress pad too. Seems to be comfy for our baby.

No they are not. However, to me it's not a problem and it never leaked through the mattress when my kid had accidents in the past. The sides are made from elastic material so you can fit around the mattress. On a regular twin size, this protector covers the whole entire mattress and the sides are mostly tucked in underneath the mattress. Hope this helps.

I have ours protected with a mattress protector, turn it and flip it once a week

I haven't torn the seams to check, but it appears to be some sort of fibers similar to cotton stuffing or poly stuffing. It acts that way with use and requires plumping from time to time the same way that kind of filling would act.Another poster mentioned that the external material on theirs was made of plastic. That's not true of mine. They're a simple cotton shell. I've put them on overstuffed chairs that I use daily. I would actually recommend them because they don't set off my allergies the way down pillows tend to.

It is a thin mattress approximately one inch thick with a soft outer covering. You will want to locate a cloth cover, pillow case type or zippered. You might also consider an inner plastic liner. I used this in a Bassinet that I built for my Granddaughters and it worked very well.

This protector covers the entire mattress. Top, bottom, and all sides. Additional note-does not cover mattress box spring too.
