the pad fits perfectly even on thick mattresses. it is all elastic around the the entire pad. it is not pillow top, but works great over a mattress topper. i really recommend it.

The skirt on the king size is quite generous. I would check with the manufacturer. I do think they will be very honest with you about it fitting. I do know I love the fact that this pad/topper does NOT shift around. I found that to be a real issue with other ones I have bought. They bunch up under you and it makes for very uncomfortable sleeping. This one doe NOT do it..

The pad has elastic stays that hold the pad in place it is not like a fitted sheet where it wraps around the table. The pad lays on top of the table, covering the areas where needed.

Not at all. I do have a standard mattress pad on it though. Nothing special just to protect the mattress. Very comfortable.

I have this on an adjustable sleep number bed. The mattress is thick plus the head and foot goes up and down. I have never had a problem with the pad slipping off. Hope this helps

Hi: I just measured my son's mattress as 52" X 72". I do not believe it is extra-long but am sending you the dimensions just in case. I do find it comfortable (as I've fallen asleep on it helping my little boy get back to sleep after a nightmare.) It feels like a soft canvas. The waterproof layer is in between layers of cotton, which gives it some stiffness. I cannot even feel it when I lie down on the bed, as it is designed to go underneath a fitted sheet, on top of the mattress. What I particularly liked about this cover are: 1) It is nontoxic and does not off-gass the smell of plastic 2) Although it is waterproof, it is encased in cotton, so it does not rustle or crinkle, nor is it sweaty at all. Other conventional "plastic" waterproof covers can make your child sweat and make noise every time you move. This one does not. 3) It is a affixed to the mattress with elastic loops at each of the 4 corners, so it will not shift. At first I wondered why it wasn't designed as a fitted sheet, but realized that would have added bulk to your bedding, as a fitted sheet also needs to go on top of it. The elastic loops at each corner make it quite easy to put on. 4) Durability. I have washed this pad at least once a month (I do not wash it each time I wash his sheets because, as it does not lie next to his skin, it stays quite clean, barring accidents.). It still looks brand new. It has weathered a couple of accidents, and isn't even stained. Just to clarify, although this is called a "mattress pad" it is NOT cushioned, and is not intended to be a padded mattress topper. It's sole function is to protect the mattress from liquid spills while being completely unobtrusive to the sleeper. I hope this helps. I've been quite pleased with the quality of this waterproof cover.

We have this between two XL twin mattresses, we also have a strap that hooks the two mattresses together. I then have a fairly thick mattress pad over top of this, it really is a cheap piece of foam, but so far has worked really well. We've had it for about 3 months now.

Hello from Tumpety Tots. Our Crib Mattress Protector has a jersey stretch skirt that goes down the side of the mattress. I has elastic all the way around the bottom, to hold the Crib Mattress Pad securely in place. I hope this answers your question.

There are no straps. Elastic keeps it tucked in, but on my shallow mattress, some of those corner fasteners (like old girdle snaps) might be useful.

I don't have measurements available. It's basically intended for a single bed. We used it for half a queen, it took up a little more than half the width of the queen. There are no straps. The material it is made from extends maybe 20" or more beyond the quilted, air mattress cells. This is tucked under the regular mattress and holds it in place. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I have never used a mattress pad. I guess if you use a fitted bed sheet, the pad will stay in position over the encasement. I used the mattress and box spring encasement to get rid of the bedbugs. I hope this helps.

The skirt on the mattress pad seems to be more durable and thicker than some mattress pads I have owned. I have not had a problem with the skirt tearing but have not owned the pad very long.

I was having the same problem with my old one. This one does not slip. The sides are very deep so as to accommodate a thick, pillow-top mattress. The sides tuck way under the mattress, which is good. My pillow-top mattress isn't terribly plush anymore, so the pad doesn't "squeeze" the mattress or anything -- in fact, it's very easy to put on and off -- but it doesn't slip like my old one. After a week, I might have to readjust it slightly, but very, very little. My old one had to be readjusted every single day when I made the bed.

The pad fits around the mattress, just like a fitted sheet I have been using these for almost 2 years now and I am very happy with the purchase.

I've had this mattress pad over a month with no such problems. It fits securely and tightly onto my deep mattress. If you don't have a deep mattress, however, maybe it won't fit as tightly. I just measured it for you -- with the pad on my mattress is 12 inches high. Without the pad it's about 10 inches. If you had a smaller depth of mattress, I guess it could be a problem. But maybe not because the elastic is very good.

It goes on like a fitted sheet. The pad portion covers the entire mattress. I imagine tightness depends on thickness of mattress. My daughter has an 8 inch mattress and it still fits well but would be tighter on a thicker mattress.
