Good For Keeping a Guest Bed Mattress Clean
922891
I am using this on a guest bed that often has kids sleeping on it.  I used to have a waterproof mattress pad but not something that completely encases the mattress.  This completely encases the mattress & is waterproof.  My mattress is about 12" thick & this cover is thicker than I need.  I use a padded mattress pad on top of this cover so it's more comfortable while sleeping.

-The top fabric is 88% polyester, 12% nylon with thermoplastic polyurethane backing.
-The bottom & sidewalls are 100% polyester with polyethylene film.
-Can be machine washed & dry - although I recommend you hang it to dry so you don't break down the poly backing prematurely.

To get this on your mattress:
-Remove all bedding.
-With 2 people, stand the mattress vertically.
-Align the corners of the cover over the top of the mattress, making sure seams are aligned.
-Pull both sides down evenly.
-Put mattress back in place.
-Zip closed.

I have pillow protectors from AllerEase on all my guest bed pillows.  They are durable, keep the pillows clean & are easy to take care of.  They don't feel cheap & junky like those all vinyl protectors.

Works well.  Fits regular twin mattress. Survived an unfortunate incident with a water bottle!

One of my cats urinated on my bed for some crazy reason.  I didn't have a plastic or vinyl sheet on the mattress but fortunately, the urine only soaked the sheet, the mattress protector, and the foam topper.  I threw out the egg-crate-style foam topper and washed everything else in vinegar.  Even though my mattress is full-size, I bought this in a "queen" to accommodate the extra bulk of the new foam topper.  This vinyl sheet fits quite well and doesn't shift around.  It has elastic at the corners to help keep it in place and it doesn't make a crinkly sound.  I'd recommend using a thick mattress protector over it, as I imagine it would be hot and uncomfortable with just a sheet covering it.  This isn't as thick as the ones from my childhood (I used to wet the bed every night), but it looks like it'll do the job.  I'll certainly add to my comment here if I have any problems with it.

I have one on my guest bed which is over 10 years old.  It made such a difference!  The size is great for oversized mattresses too!  I bought another for my king size pillow top.  Hoping to get a few more years out of the mattress.

Easy to slide on the twin size mattress.  I am using on hospital bed to be able to disinfect each time I change the sheets.  Really helps in cutting down time to be used for spending time with Mom.

Easy fit; kept my mattress clean even when a stain killed the fitted sheet on top. I'm so glad all I lost was a sheet. Excellent for protecting guest and teen beds. I bought one of these 18 months ago and now, needing a replacement, just bought the same one over again. Thanks!

My favorite part is it really helps the sheets stay in place, and wraps very far under the side of the mattress so it doesn't come up by itself. No more tucking in a corner of the sheet that gets pulled up during restless sleep. It is noisy-sounding when you pull it out of the packaging, but it is not noisy underneath just a cotton sheet when you're sleeping on it. I worried briefly, but washed it before putting it on and that softened some of the noise also.

No frills way of taking care of your mattress.  I do have two protectors on my mattress.  I don't get all the fuss about quality.  For the price I paid for they are not too shabby.  Will buy again if I need too.

This mattress pad adds just a tiny bit of extra softness to our very hard mattress. I haven't washed it yet, so I'm not sure how that works, but the instructions say it is machine washable. For the money, it's a great added protection for a mattress with a bit of added comfort.

Works pretty good. My oldest has had a couple accidents and it has not gone thorough to the mattress. Pretty easy to clean.

This product loses one star because of the initial plastic smell.  The smell wore off in a few days and I thought that was a fair trade-off for the easy clean up this cover provides.  I used to have the cloth ones with the plastic in between, but when I washed it, the water sat inside of it and was a mess coming out of the washer.  I'd have to go outside and literally dump out water before hanging or putting in the dryer.  This plastic one is SO MUCH EASIER!  Remove soiled sheet, wipe down the plastic liner without having to remove it, and put on a clean sheet.  It's a little loose, (not a snug fit), but I prefer it that way because I don't have to fight to get it on the mattress.  I simply tuck the bit of excess material underneath a bit more.  I WOULD buy again.

These work fairly well.  Our previous waterproof mattress protector lasted about 10 years (and a handful of washings) before the lining broke down and stopped acting as a barrier.  Had an angry dog pee on the bed once, and this kept the mess on top where it could be removed and the bedding washed.  Nothing made it down to the mattress!  It's latex (or something similar) covered woven fabric, not plastic sheeting, so it's not hot and sweaty (ours is UNDER a mattress pad and the sheets anyway).  This one seems to be of comparable quality to the one it replaced.  Fits a deep mattress (ours is 15" with an extra 3-4" of foam toppers).

I bought this for my guest bedroom and it turned out to be the perfect topper for the new mattress, adding just an extra bit of back support and softness.  It is just small enough to fit in my washing machine too which I appreciate.  I hate those trips to the laundromat.

worked great on a mattress i was trying, made me realize i liked the pillow top better than foam and changed out the mattress before
the 30 days was over. Good product, will use on guest bed.

I have a Bob-o-pedic twin foam bed in the guest room. It tends to sleep on the harder side and this foam pad seems to be the perfect solution. Only time will tell whether it will hold up as it is fairly new. The only complaint I have had so far is that it tends to hold heat a bit more, which is a slight problem when the weather is hot, but it should be OK in the winter... we'll see.

Worked well for the bed that I added it to. I continue to use it

Bought this to replace the old protect-a-bed mattress protector that I bought when I ordered my tempurpedic mattress.  The matress store sold it to be for twice the price.  It really works (my cat tried peeing on my bed a couple of times when he was sick and it saved my new $3000 matress).  I did have trouble washing it though.  My dryer only has 1 setting, hot!  If you want to dry this protector, you need to dry it on a low heat!  The salesman told me that, but I had no choice so it did come apart after a few washes.  The gortex backing started flaking off in places.  I bought another one, but this time I will only dry it on low (maybe at a laundrymat?).  Good matress protector, just not that great when it comes to washing it.
