It says the top/bottom layers of this pad are 100% cotton but not what the center 'ultra thin waterproof barrier" is made from. Does anyone know?

You probably already found the answer to this question but I was just researching this myself and I believe it's a thin layer of food-grade polyethylene. According to the Naturepedic website, the waterproof cover for their crib mattresses is this food-grade polyethylene, so I'm pretty certain it's the same throughout all of their waterproof products.

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.

I think it's best suited for body sweat (low volumes of liquid).The pad is coated with a rubberized material on the bottom and it is waterproof, but the terry top is very thin. If it were to be a large volume of liquid, it might end up soaking the entire top, which might then drip down on the sides of the mattress.

There is nothing sticky about this pad. The top part is very much like a thick, quilted comforter. The edges are a stretchy cloth material. I almost want to call it mesh, but stronger than that. I don't feel like I am going to tear it when I fit it around my mattress.

I've never had a problem with the pad getting wet. This pad has worked really well so far!

It is like a cloth that has been coated in a waterproof substance, not a plastic. I have a HE washer and dryer. I have no trouble washing them on the bulkey setting, or drying them. Because the are waterproof some water will remain in a corner of the pad, very small amount. I will buy these again. Work great.

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.

Black waterproof material. Not sure what that material would be called? Not quite rubbery. Not thin mesh? Not quite vinyl? But a sturdy rubberyish under bottom? Hope that makes sense since I had to make up a work for you?

This does look like a newer version than the one we purchased about a year ago. This one seems to add a waterproof, thicker pad. The older version is great; I would imagine this one would be, too!

The sides are a stretchy fabric that is different from the top of the matress protector. The top has a layer of waterproof material underneath the terrycloth. I doubt that the sides are completely waterproof, but liquid might roll off, as it is finely woven and slick. I haven't spilled anything on it, so I am not 100 percent sure of this.

It's made of food grade polyurethane (according to their website). No waterproofing is organic, but you have to decide if the trade off is worth it for you. Honestly, I'm still back and forth on this myself! From my research, this does seem to be the best (or one of the best) organic waterproof mattress pads out there.

The cover states that it's 100% polyester, made in China. Web site at www.dsosi.com The pad itself is slippery and the cover slides around on it a little. Otherwise the heating pad has worked well so far.

It is too thin on the top to be a true mattress pad. It is soft, terry material. Product is an airtight, watertight encasement for your mattress and is bedbug proof.

these pads have waterproof backing, vinyl. I have washed them 15 times, and have had no problems, this is a very good product andwould buy them again.

The tag says to air dry only but I always throw mine in the dryer. The bottom is some type of waterproof fabric. The tag says the liner is "80% cotton/20% polyester bonded to PE."
