what is the purpose of the bamboo cover and do you still need a waterproof cover?

The bamboo is antimicrobial and antibacterial, also sustainable. And supposedly regulates body temp. Light and strong. Waterproof cover would be needed over this or replacing the original cover.

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.

I'm envisioning you thinking of some kind of wooden covering! It's a very nice removable, soft and washable cover so the mattress stays clean. If you need a waterproof mattress cover for some reason I suppose you'll just have to buy one separately.

Its not waterproof just slightly water resistant. A sealer would help but nothings perfect. I have a kelty pack cover that I bought for it at rei.

It does protect from wetness. Not sure of the exact material. It is a coated and is not flushable. Much better than those paper covers that some public bathrooms supply. The fact that it is over sized is really great too. Hope this helps.

The cover is poly, so therefore can get wet with no problem. If I were to use this in the bath, I'd use it without the cover so that the pad can be shaken free of collected water, enabling it to dry faster.

The cover is permanently installed. The material is wetsuit material, so it is o.k. to get it wet while washing it.

It is 5 sided waterproof protection and fits like a mattress pad, there is no need for further protection, removes like a fitted sheet, just make sure you follow washing instructions that are enclosed in order, hope this answers your question

I agree with Michael that the cover will keep water from seeping through but do all you can to see that it won't puddle up in the first place.In time any material will seep because of weathering of the protection in the material.

The cover itself is waterproof, the Velcro and zipper openings are also "watertight". I would not run water or submerse the cover, but in stopping moisture from getting to the television it does an excellent job on my covered back porch.

The waterproof cover is sewn onto the mattress. There have bed wets with my twin 20mo. Old boys but I wiped it clean and kept going. I have not had any problems. No mattress cover is needed.

It is not "waterproof" - the manufacturer calls it "water resistant". It does come with a clear plastic (vinyl) rain cover for use outdoors.

The product is water-resistant, not waterproof. It's a great cover for keeping the, sun, dust, bird-droppings, tree sap, and fall leaves off of your paint. It's not meant as a long-term weatherproof cover, which cost a lot more money.

As long as the cover is in place it is water resistant, but not water proof, the cover is not water tight when installed.

It's not really a cover in that it cannot be removed. The cover is a dense nylon over a very dense foam pad. Water resistant and fairly easy to clean.

It comes with a cover, but I wouldn't consider it a "safety" cover, more one to keep leaves and other debris from falling into the pool.

It has a waterproof cover you can buy separately and put it in between the cover and the foam.

No, it doesn't it. I think it would be fine to just leave the cover draped (not tied at the bottom) for air circulation, but I haven't owned it long enough to determine if there are any moisture issues. If you leave it outside day and night, you'll probably get a certain amount of moisture regardless.
