How durable is this material? I'm looking for some plastic sheets that is flexible but yet will resist rips and tears.

It's very durable. It's much thicker than I had anticipated. It doesn't rip easily at all.

They are sturdy, yet easy to tear off of the roll. I have never had problems with rips.

I have washed them several times and they don't show any wear. They are not very soft to start with, and probably for this reason they will probably last more than most sheets. I bought for my daughter several sheet sets of much softer cotton and now they start showing wear after several washes - but not "Fairies". They seem to be durable, and they are 100% cotton while most sheets with cartoon prints come in polyester unfortunately... My 4 years old doesn't care much about thread count (they are not very soft to touch) and she loves them!

The material is flexible but not completely soft. I would not suggest cutting it.

Haven't had any problem with the material ripping....durable....BUT, it's VERY VERY VERY heavy....that's my biggest complaint....

Mine held up quite well. I still have yet to use it and it's still in perfect shape. No tears or rips.

I just posted a review that should help, I no longer have the paper that came with the mattress, but I believe you can get the material from their website, it is a non-toxic plastic. and is very thick for a clear plastic sheet. I really cannot think of something comparable, thicker than a heavy duty freezer ziplock I believe, but not as thick as say an office chair mat. I was not disappointed with the money I spend on this purchase. Quite the contrary, I was extremely pleased with it. and still wonder why there is no law requiring hospitals to provide these and training on their installation and use to every new parent.

Very thin sheet of plastic. Probably the thickness of about 5 sheets of paper. It is cut resistant. You can roll it up for storage. Perfect for my needs.

It isn't quite that durable. It is a flexible silicon cover. We got the protective clear covering for the screen. It was the only thing that I could find for my son's tablet that was more protective and less cumbersome than most of the covers that are like a folder cover. It has done a great job so far!

It's definitely not plastic, I think it's a heavy paper and linen blend. I'm happy with it.

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.

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.

I assume it is polyester, it's definitely not plastic. It is soft and doesn't make the crunchy noises like others. It fits better than any others that I've purchased. Most bend the mattress because they are so tight, this 1 does not do that

This is far, far better than any plastic one I have ever bought. I bought one 4 years ago for my last house. It has withstood hard use with children and a husband who just carelessly yank paper towels off this. I moved, started with a new plastic one because I didn't have stainless appliances to match anymore. Gave up on plastic again and counter ones just tip over all the time. I got this Prodyne. I've had it for a month and it works as good as the one I bought 4 years ago and seems just as well made as the old one. Occasionally the paper won't tear (perforations on the paper are the problem) but when you pull, the roll will stay on. Without hesitation I recommend this. It also fits the oversize rolls This is far, far better than any plastic one I have ever bought. I bought one 4 years ago for my last house.

The bage is very durable. The thread count is quite high and it doesn't pill after washing at all. I think these sheets are going to far outlast any of our regular sheets. We wash it every two weeks as advised on the info. that came with the sheets.

It's made out of a card-board type material, but it's very durable & has an expensive look to it. We used this for a UNICEF concert to hold all of our printed out "Cheater Sheets",...music. It worked very well until someone came up to check out all that we had. They bent it back way too far & it cracked at the folded top. Other than that, & after we went to buy a plastic file folder, this was fine. It's still useable, but for all the printed song titles we have, it just doesn't hold them all.
