Do I need to buy a different mattress cover for this mattress? From the pictures, it does not appear to be much.

12 inch that's all I needed and in my opinion it's not too low it fits perfectly fine into my platform bed. So,my answer is try it out and if you need more you can. BUT the mattress itself is very comfy.

No. I bought a cover at Walmart for $10. It's actually a fitted sheet style mattress protector and it works great :)

No the cover does not come off any more than it would on regular mattress. You can buy covers for them either a regular cover or one that covers the entire mattress and zips up.

Yes with something to cover it and make it more seemless. This link (http://www.amazon.com/Inflatable-Mattress-Cushion-Discovery-Adventures/dp/B00J9C60JU/ref=pd_sbs_petsupplies_9?ie=UTF8&refR;ID=08AA5YQGC5MSFQSWHG87) might give you a better option and there are different priced items of the same kind available.

This vinyl mattress cover seems to be just right...Not too heavy and not too light. It works for me! Just a suggestion...I put a cotton mattress cover over it.

This mattress pad is just a cover. It doesn't really add "extra" comfort or softness to the mattress. We just bought a new mattress from Amazon...It was delivered in a box. Medium firm 10' foam...and I bought the mattress pad to protect it. FINALLY we are getting restful sleep. If you can swing a new mattress...I would do that first. Sorry I am not much help.

Reading the description below, it sounds like it is one mattress, you could contact the seller to make sure. But I believe you would have to order two.

Sorry Keith, mine did not come with a cover but I didn't think it needed a cover. I put a queen sized (my size bed) mattress cover over it and then my fitted sheets. It's a bit tight but in a good way (you can almost bounce a quarter on it!). I let it air out for a day and then put the covers over it and it was great. Hope that helps :)

I purchased another mattress for the bed--- and it is very comfortable. The mattress that comes with it is really lame. The rest of the bed is nice.

Yes, what it does is keep your mattress from wearing out too soon. HOWEVER, if you want to keep your mattress lasting longer and also have a more comfortable mattress (softer top), I would suggest another mattress cover. This cover is as thin as paper and will probably not last very long and adds nothing to making the mattress softer.

I agree that you don't need covers. That said, we use them for added comfort, but they do need to be washed, so we have 3 covers to make sure there is always a clean one. Ours were pricey too, so I don't have a reccomendation other than to say that it is a standard size kind of thing do I don't think you need a specific cover.

Yes. It would be a good idea to purchase a cover. I did and it is plastic. Not a good idea. I caused one tear and it is slowly tearing apart. The next mattress cover I purchase will be made of a washable material. I hope this helps.

That info is not included in any of the info that came with it, sorry. The MOST DENSE one I found in my pre-purchase shopping was for sale at Macy's, and the incorporated cover is a blue weave, like the one section in the photo of THIS product. It was available in either 1.5 or 3 inch versions, the thicker one was offered for close to $600, and on a "one day sale" you could get it for 50% off, but even THAT was more than I wanted to spend, and too close to the price of a new mattress for me! But if you want the DENSE-EST gel, check that one out...it may even be on Macy's website, not sure. Good Luck! That info is not included in any of the info that came with it, sorry.

I believe a mattress pad might be required. This is very thin and it does do the job of protection, but so far as any padding, you'd need that extra.

No, I am trying to find another one. The mattress is too high. It didn't do what we thought it was suppose to do.

No, you definitely want to buy another cover. A standard futon cover goes on easily.

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.
