Is the Waterproof Flat Crib Pad instead of the fitted crib pad? or do I need both?

We used this instead of the fitting crib pad. Put it underneath the sheet and good to go.

The foam part is supposed to fit inside of a sleeve on the bottom of it but I place it on top with a waterproof pad & crib sheet ...that way if they have an accident it doesn't wet through everything!

There is no separate cover, same as any crib mattress. It is waterproof and has the added benefit of a side seam so vomit, etc. won't pool on corner seams (because it has none). It is wise, like any crib mattress, to get a waterproof mattress cover because then you won't have to clean the mattress. Just pop the cover in the washer and you're done.

There is already a pad included with the one I bought. Are you talking about extra padding because yours should also have a pad with it. My husband says it comes with a firm, rubber pad,and he just used a pad from a cot we already had. Hope that helps.

Hello, Eitan. The changing pad is not included here. We purchased the following ones, and it worked fine: - http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Ultra-Plush-Change/dp/B0009JB3A8/ref=br_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&colid=W3NX22YCPO8P&coliid=IFXAR9KCPRI3Y - http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Contoured-Changing-Pad/dp/B001U9OUYC/ref=br_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&colid=W3NX22YCPO8P&coliid=I1GPP8KVJDKGH7 Good luck! :)

Considering the firmness of the mattress, we found the mattress pad to be a big plus in added comfort. I'm not sure if it's necessary for wetness protection though.

My daughter is now 6 months old, and I haven't needed a waterproof pad. It's pretty water resistant because it's laminated

It is water resistant. I use it in between the crib sheet and the mattress cover. It's an extra layer for me, so that I can wash the crib sheet and this without having to wash the mattress cover.

I would say No, I did not buy this as a water proof pad, otherwise, it's as it stated and we love it.

The pad is waterproof as long as the fluid doesn't fill it up. If too much fluid it will run over the sides. But the bottom part is waterproof, provided you follow the washing and drying instructions. (In nice weather I hang dry mine outside, which I believe helps the bottom part last longer.) They do eventually wear out - but I've had some last for over 3 years now.

I use the waterproof changing pad liners in mine. They fit perfectly and I can take them out easily to was when needed. I use the Boppy brand because the Graco ones aren't waterproof.

Check on the purerest.com web site for lots of sizes of pads. I used their crib pad for nearly 10 yrs and it's still perfect after many many hot/dry washings. It's just a flat pad (not fitted) but I love it and it works very well for diaper leaks, without even needing anything waterproof. I also love that it's 100% organic cotton (no other types of fabric or chemicals).

I recommend one by a brand we sell called Naturepedic. It has a great waterproof barrier. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Naturepedic-Waterproof-Organic-Mattress-Protector/dp/B001BKG5YI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?m=A2T4Y4GS7H8WU&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1427733764&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=waterprrof+queen+pad I added the link to the queen size since your question was in regards to the queen mattress topper.

No- it comes with a thin changing pad. I went to craft store and bought foam then put the thin waterproof one on top. A standard changing pad sheet fits fine over the foam and pad.

You can use the zipper sheet with a flat waterproof mattress pad (without a skirt) to achieve the same result. Personally, I like the zipper sheet better than the Velcro as it goes on easier and there's no chance for the sheet to come loose. Plus I don't like washing anything with Velcro with my other things.

The little "mattress" or pad that comes with the cradle is water-resistant, so strictly for the fear of leaky diapers, you don't need anything extra. However, for comfort, I would put a cotton/cotton flannel cover on it.

If your looking to add more softness/cushion to the mattress for a toddler or older child you could add the Naturepedic quilted pad. However it is not a waterproof pad.Naturepedic PC93 Non Waterproof Organic Cotton Deluxe Crib Mattress Pad
