I don't need waterproof protection, nor do I want padding. Is this product thin? All I really want is a thin cotton covering. Suggestions?

It is thin and adds no bulk. It does have a covering of waterproof protection which is always a plus even if you don't think you need it. It is still a good buy.Michael

Yes, it is very thin and it does not make noise like I thought it would. It is cotton on the top and waterproof lining for the under part. I have been very happy with mine. You have to spin it well after washing it or it will capture the water from your machine. Dry it on low. No bleach and do not dry it on hot. Hope this helps!

Hi! Yes, this covering is thin and will provide your mattress with protection.

Yes it's extremely thin. It's like having an extra fitted sheet on your matters. Even without the bed being made up you wouldn't be able to tell it's waterproof unless you took it off and felt the underside.

It is very thin and I don't even know it is there, it is supposed to be waterproof but I have not put that to the test. I bought it to protect my Memory Foam mattress against stains to protect the warranty. if you do get it prewash it but be sure to do only delicate and very low heat so not will not damage it. There is no padding for that would defeat the foams function. Hope this helps and I will be glad to answer any other questions that I can.

It's thin, only a little thicker than a nice high thread count sheet. The top side is terry-cloth in texture and the bottom site is a rubbery waterproofing layer. You won't notice it laying on it

I know this doesn't quite answer your question, but we've been using ours for 10+ months without a cover and we've been very happy. The surface is waterproof and very easy to wipe clean; ours has remained stain-free. A cover that's made of something like cotton will require laundering, etc.

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.

Yes, if you Are just looking for a cover. As I said before the quilted mmaterial is very thin so it does not provide much padding but would work fine as a cover.

It is waterproof, but we use a thick organic cotton cover under the sheet more for comfort than anything else.

definitely not waterPROOF. resistant? maybe. just buy the thing, if it gets ruined it is cheap enough to chalk it up.

the cover is not separate. I did not get another waterproof cover, I did get an organic cover just to keep the mattress and to create a softer padding.

I really don't know how to answer that. I still sleep with a down comforter over me, and I haven't really even thought about if the mattress pad is too warm. I can't stand to sleep on a waterproof mattress cover, I sweat terribly, that's why I intentionally bought one that is not water proof. Maybe that's what's happening to you.

Not really. It's a synthetic cover, but breathable, so it wouldn't be waterproof like a rubber covering or something of that sort.

The hats are not intended to be water proof. A water repellant would help. I never really notice water coming thru the mesh. I have two different colors as I wear one of them most of the summer. Very good choice in my opinion.

Honestly, this mattress isn't a cottony material, it is more like a plastic outside fabric. Easy to wipe clean if needed, nothing is going to penetrate the material. I never needed a cover.

No, Just water resistant (sweat, small amounts of moisture) not waterproof!

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.

Protect A Bed was my brand of choice because they have been independantly tested and passed all quality control tests. It depends on what you want the encasement for though. Are you actually concerned about bed bugs? Like me did you get a second hand mattress and just want to cover it? If you aren't worried about bed bugs then there are several other brands that are cheaper and would probably work just as well. I absolutely love my protect a bed encasement. Our son sometimes gets in our bed at night if he has a bad dream and wets the bed on occasion too. It worked perfectly as a waterproof encasement.

No extra padding, just one layer. But it isn't a "grippy" surface - more like a suede. Hmm that is a great idea though....

I would have to say, a very slight spill wouldn't hurt. But more then that, I'm not so sure. It is very well padded and has kept my kindle fire safe from drops and such. If you are wanting something waterproof, I would go with something else. Hope this helps.

No. This is just the padding. You'd need to install a moisture barrier as well.
