The ones we sell are waterproof with a layer of cotton, you still need to put sheets on them.

I use it as a mattress pad. If you are looking for padding this is not the cover to buy. It is very thin so it doesn't take away from the comfort of the mattress. It is waterproof so if water is spilled on the mattress it will be protected.

I use a Babesafe Mattress wrap. Before that I used Carter's Keep Me Dry flannel mattress pads. They were perfect because they lay right on top and don't wrap around the edges. Now that the mattress is wrapped I don't use anything.

As far as I can tell there is no heat like you would experience with a typical plastic mattress cover. These pads are very thin, however, so on some of my beds I have another mattress pad either under this one or over this one to add cushion. My main goal is to keep the mattress dry and with two small children I have never had a leak

I purchased a pad and cover. I don't know if it's waterproof. Sorry. However, the mattress is great! I'm very happy with the mattress!

None that I'm aware of. It has been wonderful and really has helped keep the heat away from my body that I experienced with my pillow top mattress and even other cooling mattresspads on top of it. There's not much padding, but my main goal was to quit being hot every night and it has really worked for me.

It's def waterproof but i still use a mattress pad b/c I don't want any spills/spit ups to stain it. You can easily wipe up any mess but it might get discolored

The mattress pad is just as good as the day I bought it. We just bought an identical one for another bed in our home. I am not hot sleeping on it, it doesn't have the heat reproducing qualities found in standard foam pads. Hope this helps you in your decision.

I actually bought the cool shield mattress protector first since my toddler sneaks into our room at night & on many occasions has wet our bed, but I also have the mattress cover that came with the memory foam pad as well. It seems like overkill, but I don't want my mattress pad to get ruined & the cover they sent me helps the over heating I was having while sleeping on this & I'm not sure that alone would be enough protection against my toddler wetting the bed every other night! With all that plus a fitted sheet it does not affect the comfort whatsoever.

The mattress is covered with a white plastic cover. Technically, it is waterproof, but I wouldn't want to have to wipe it down and dry it off every time there's an accident. We use the waterproof naturepedic pads so you can quickly replace the sheet and pad. You wouldn't need two pads though - the waterproof pad alone is fine. Also, I had a couple of the portacrib waterproof pads (flat, not fitted) that I used when the full crib pad was being washed. I just put it in the center and never had a problem with either child wetting around the edges of the crib. It's possible of course but probably worth the gamble if you want to save some money and avoid buying extra pads.

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm.i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

I don't see why not? It's a matress pad with a little extra fluff, so as long as your water proof sheet isn't too snug, I don't see why you would have an issue! Hope this helps!

This pad doesn't have any filling. It's purpose is to protect the mattress, it's like a light weight terry cloth, only water proof. We have this cover on all 5 beds in our home.

Rick, I didn't buy this particular mattress pad. I did buy two, twin size Beautyrest "Luxury Heated Mattress Pads". These seem to work very well. Toasty bed after a ten minute warm up. They have a button for quick heat, kind of like afterburner mode for a jet fighter. I have had these for two months so I can't speak to the issue of longivity. I also had very bad luck with Sunbeam products. I bought two twin electric blankets and they were not good out of the box and didn't last for the cold season.

It does rustle somewhat, but not loud as to wake you. In the future I would like to have one with more padding that is waterproof. This one is thin and lightweight. Don't consider it a mattress pad, but a mattress cover. It is slippery and hard to keep my sheets in place.
