Is this mattress waterproof, or do I need a cover?

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!

It's water resistant but still a fabric. Our son still wets through his PJs on occasion and it hasn't seemed to wet the mattress, but it is fabric, not plastic like his old one. If you're expecting big messes, waterproof covering may be a good idea, but we didn't want him sleeping on plastic. So far so good on this, and it's sturdy and comfortable.

My pack and play mattress has a plastic cover so it is waterproof. The sheets are just padded a little to help the mattress not be so hard.

No it doesn't have a cover, but I did purchase one, I didn't want it to get soiled. I personally love it, I guess it depends on what your used to sleeping on, you might have to sleep on it for a week to get used to it. I have a bad back and have spent over two thousand dollars on beds lately, this is on top of the last one six months old, finally found one I can sleep well on.

Yes. The mattress is good. Also, I have a waterproof cover on it and the cover (also purchased on Amazon) doesn't make a difference.

It does come with a thin cover so I still put a mattress protector over it. I was gonna go with a quilted one but decided to just use a basic mattress protector and it works fine. The mattress is so comfortable I don't need the added cushion of a quilted protector.

It does not come with a cover. It is simply a 4 inch memory foam that fits on top of your mattress.

The cotton cover is not removable, so I use a waterproof mattress cover and a crib sheet

No you don't. I've never even bought a mattress protector cause all my son's toddler mattresses are the waterproof material. Just wipe clean in case of a accident. Until they're in a regular twin mattress, you really don't need the protectors.

The foam is covered. We bought an additional waterproof mattress cover to keep the original cover clean.

100% you will need a cover for this, especially waterproof. The item has sticky substance and do not recommend for a baby.

I guess but it is a very cheap paper/cotton cover. I can't imagine it would survive more than a couple washings. I just got a waterproof cover on Amazon for $24 well worth it. Great mattress i bought 2 and my kids love them.

I use a waterproof cover on the top of this mattress then I put Fitted Pack N Play Sheet. Though the waterproof cover we use can't fit wholly but it is ok for our child and it helps to prevent splits/leaks. Hope that helps!

no it is not waterproof. however, I put another mattress pad on top of it to keep it from getting wet as mine does not wet the bed but takes drinks to his bedroom and sometimes spills them on the bed. It is still very soft and he doesn't seem to notice the extra covering but it would probably be even more luxurious with the extra mattress pad. Hope this helps.

It doesn't let moisture make its way down to the the mattress.The mattress pad its self will get get wet in its top layer of material but it is waterproof. It is also not crinkly or noisy like cheap or old versions of waterproof mattress pads. When i took it out of wash a couple days ago i actually noticed how well it is holding up.

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

I would definitely recommend the mattress cover even though the mattress is waterproof. In fact, I would get 2 of them; one to wash and one to use. You don't want the mattress smelling like pee for one, and it definitely will if you don't. It will also just be a lot cleaner. I'm all about making less of a mess if I can to have less to clean since there is already so much other cleaning that cannot be avoided. And pee is the cleanest thing that can end up on the mattress! I like to use peroxide in a spray bottle with paper towels when I do clean a waterproof mattress. I like that it doesn't smell and does a good job cleaning. I think it's a safer cleaner compared to say a Clorox wipe. I would recommend the flat one, instead of the fitted, so it will be easier to change. Or if your mattress isn't too heavy, it's really no big deal just to take the entire mattress out to change it so in that case the fitted would be fine too. (But then you have to take the crib bumper off. I actually took mine off since I got tired of taking it off and on all of the time.) Hopefully you have a Naturepedic mattress or other brand that doesn't use fire retardant chemicals to pass the flammability test. I've even read on a natural health doctor's website that when the pee, or other bodily fluids, mix with the fire retardant chemicals, it has a chemical reaction that makes an odorless gas that can cause SIDS.

Yes, this is a waterproof mattress. Or at least highly water resistant as i have not tried to fully submerge it.
