does a mattress pad have too be used over the encasement

No but it depends on what you prefer. It is not intended to be a mattress pad, it is to protect the mattress from bugs and fluids.

Not at all, take it out of the package put it on the mattress zip it up and put a sheet on it and you are ready for sleep.

It's not a separate cover - I use a waterproof mattress pad over the mattress.

It can be used right over it. Just purchase some sheets to go over it. It's a great product, I'm very happy with it.

a mattress encasement is a zippered design that covers the entire mattress. This is a mattress protector, which is applied like a fitted sheet. They are two different products.

You can use bedding and mattress pads. They probably mean not to cover the underside of the mattress where the pad goes.

I personally put the Mattress PAD on TOP of the mattress, then I encased them both with a waterproof and hypoallergenic mattress protector: this way I achieve three of my goals, such as the pad now stays in place on the mattress, I am protected from allergens and both mattress and pad will live longer. Also the protector is machine washable so i can take it off once a month and wash it.

This mattress encasement seems to be a good storage option to keep the bugs out and keep it clean: http://amzn.to/1siuQAy . Also it this can be washed and is waterproof, so its good to have to put over the mattress while you sleep on it.

It's an encasement. I already have an encasement for my bed, but applied a 2nd layer to bed due to a toddler sleeping with us.

No need to. The bamboo mattress cover is waterproof and is a must! The mattress itself doesn't need any pads.

It has a large cotton cover pad that goes all the way around the mattress. Cheers

Thanks for the great question! Our award winning Eco mattress bags are designed to encase one unit and seal with tape. If you have a mattress and a box spring, you will need to buy two Eco Mattrsss Bags. If you have any more questions, we are here for you, so you don't have to stress about your mattress, we've got you covered!!!

You use a fitted sheet on top of it. I hear rustling every now and then, but the mattress pad doesn't make you sweat. It's a great product if you have a toddler who on occasion has an accident at night. The mattress cover will save your mattress.

No. It's a fitted sheet that goes over the mattress with a flat sheet on top and two pillowcases.

I purchased both the mattress and box spring encasements. I think the only difference between the two is that the mattress encasement has the terry cloth type layer on top, which is usually covered by your bed sheets anyways. The outside material is similar to the material you'd see on a sleeping bag which supposedly helps keep unwanted critters from entering or leaving your mattress. If you plan on using bed sheets over it, the box spring encasement would be fine.

I use a regular mattress pad over top of this. My thirteen year old has spilled water on it and it was fine.

Yes, you can put a sheet over the mattress cover. I recommend that you do put a sheet over the mattress cover because it will protect it.
