Should I get a separate mattress pad or is the cover that comes the mattress sufficient?

We always use a mattress Pad regardless of the mattress. It is easy to wash and keeps your mattress clean. Yes it has a cover and is washable but a mattress pad is just added insurance toward cleanliness.

I never got a sep mattress pad bc the cover is really comfy and easy to wash :) I love the bed super comfy

I think you would have to buy the queen size, our mattress is about an 8" memory foam and the cover works well

Keep in mind that if the cover is at all deeper than the mattress /pad you'll get air pockets that don't lose the air once you zip it up. I learned that the hard way. I've lived with it because of the amount of work it took me to put on these pads by myself, but the air pocket is annoying. Better to measure your mattress before ordering.

This probably gives as much padding to the original mattress as adding a mattress. I added a mattress but it wasn't much softer than the original. This pad helps.

I got the Naturepedic crib sheets also. The mattress pad may be a bit looser than the sheets, but they are all well-fitted.

I have a king bed. The organic mattress pad does cover the mattress with elastic on the bottom of the side panels but doesn't fit it tightly as I would prefer. The fitted sheet on top of it does the job of pulling it closely.

Place it under the mattress cover. This is still a good way to protect your mattress and have a comfortable separation between between to the topper/mattress and your sheets. I put a thin mattress pad cover over the mattress and topper combination and then a very plush one over the whole ball of wax. I couldn't be happier!

There is a cover on the mattress, but it would be difficult to remove and wash and put back on. Personally I have put a nice pillow top type of mattress pad on mine so it feels extra luxurious plus I can remove it and wash it.

No, that you will have to purchase separately. The reason being the mattresses can differ by material type and density. hWhat I found online was that most people for safety reasons tend to lean towards a firmer bed. I think we went with a Sealy or Serta based on reviews. Overall most if not all cribs will not come with a mattress as users tend to pick out what they need.

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.

We Had A Mattress Pad So We Used It. But I Do NoT Know If You Really Need One. The Top Is A Soft Velvety Top Not Plastic.

It does not come with a cover and I never found one that would fit. However, once I put it on my mattress under the mattress pad, it worked just fine. I can't tell that is doesn't have one on it. I had other ones on a different bed that did have the covers. Other than looking at them when you remover your mattress pad, you can't tell the difference. However, if you plan on halling them around for camping or something, then I would buy the one that is twice the price with the cover.

Ms. Williams, if you wanted a thicker pad, it would be best to buy 2 or more pads, depending on thick you wanted your sleeping pad.Considering that they are 1/2" thick, the most I would recommend is 3, which would give you 1.5 inches in thickness if you put them all together.

No, this serves as the only sheet you need. I would suggest a mattress pad laid underneath, of course. Just the flat sheet type of mattress pad, not the fitted type. Buy an extra zip sheet!

Everywhere I read they stressed on the firmness of the mattress for the new born and affect on the spine, hence the firmer mattress. I am happy with the firmness of the mattress and plus it is waterproof on the infant side which helps as well. Not sure about the cover pads, everyone's opinion is a little different, so I decided to skip that for now

No, you should get something thicker. I'm about 130 pounds, and depending on how I lay, my hip or my bottom will rest on the mattress. But, it is much more comfortable than the matress alone.
