Do you also need to get a mattress pad, or is the cover already waterproof?

You do not need an additional mattress pad. The pebble top is a matress pad :)

We never used a mattress cover. The mattress that comes with the crib is waterproof. We just used the pack n play small sheets

Considering the firmness of the mattress, we found the mattress pad to be a big plus in added comfort. I'm not sure if it's necessary for wetness protection though.

No, I'm pretty sure the cover is not waterproof but it immediately made a difference sleeping and waking up ache and pain free.

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.

It's very slightly water proof. By that I mean if you spill a little bit and are quick enough you will be able to wipe it before it gets everything wet. It's not made of vinyl, so eventually the wetness will get through to your mattress.

I believe a mattress pad might be required. This is very thin and it does do the job of protection, but so far as any padding, you'd need that extra.

The bamboo cover helps the mattress to breath and inhibit bacteria growth but does not protect from water getting into the mattress and causeing bacteria. I would still recommend a waterproof cover if your worried about water damage.

Yes it is truly waterproof but I always use a mattress protector in addition. I think it is more pleasant for the baby to lay on a mattress with a protector and a sheet. Also it is easy to whip off the protector if there is an accident, wipe off the mattress and put on the spare...I would use a mattress protector even if it was a second or third baby :)

It is safe and it is waterproof also. but I still recommend using a mattress pad and crib sheet. Nothing is too good for a precious newborn baby! tthing is

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.

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.

the one I bought does not come with a cover but that was not a problem...I used the fitted mattress pad I already had .

There is no separate cover, same as any crib mattress. It is waterproof and has the added benefit of a side seam so vomit, etc. won't pool on corner seams (because it has none). It is wise, like any crib mattress, to get a waterproof mattress cover because then you won't have to clean the mattress. Just pop the cover in the washer and you're done.

I bought the navy blue mattress, it doesn't necessarily need a cover but you can use one to help protect it.

It's a waterproof padded cover. I just tilt it to one side of the tub so the water runs off anyway.

No, I do not think it would be waterproof since it is foam, but you could probably buy a waterproof mattress cover for it.
