Is this a heavy material like the synthetic wool pads that are sold to protect against bed sores?

The pads typically have a pile greater than 1" made of wool or synthetic wool. ECO Organic Cotton Sherpa doesn't have as thick as pile, but it may work if it's layered and used for the application.

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

It's very bumpy, sort of like soft pebbles. It's decently thick for the price. It's not what I would consider "padded" though

To no extent at all. In fact, this mattress pad transformed our brand new memory foam mattress from a sweaty and squishy nightmare into a cool and comfortable sleep experience. I can't wait until we are able to replace our mattress with one made out of 100% cotton and wool. Our experience with memory foam has not been great. However, I highly recommend this mattress pad. Excellent quality and superior comfort all around.

It is thick fabric but not padded. I don't believe it would help much with the mattress issue.

Yes! It's not completely rubber, it's sturdy material, but so far it hasn't scratched any of my furniture at home!

Not very thick. If the person who uses these is ambulatory, may I suggest TENA Ultimate Pad. If the person is bedridden, depends are just as thick and a great deal less expensive. Good luck

It is thick enough I use mine as a sofa and my husband falls asleep on it several times. But if I was to use as a bed I would use a mattress pad or comforter for extra cushioning.

Not at all. I really like this mattress pad - it washes well, is comfortable, has nice deep coverage with the elastic skirt, and no wool fibers escaping. I have it in both queen and king sizes.

No. Its more like a 2 layer sheet. It is a spread but not heavy like a comforter.

It is not a thick mattress pad. In my opinion it didn't affect the firmness of my mattress.

Yes it is a heavy material, although it recommends a liner. Haven't used it yet but expect it will need a liner. Hope this helps.

I can't answer that. I bought these pads as added protection to keep the bed from becoming a soggy mess should an accident occur. They are absorbant but just how much I do not know. They work really well, however, for leakage, if that helps.

Hello, thank you for your interest. The material is 100% polyester and it weighs a little less than 1 lb. Hope this helps!Thank you,Formosa Covers

I'm not sure of the type of material, it is almost as soft as silk with teary cloth top. The covers are larger than the mattress and box spring, which made it much easier to use. What sold me was it is certified against anything biting through the material and it can be machine wasted and heat dried. The others I purchased from Walmart is plastic and can not be put in drier on high heat, plus they were not certified bite-through resistant. My children are highly allergic to dust mites as well as other biting bugs. No more skin irritations since I put the protectors on the box spring and the mattress. I am so very please with the product and would highly recommend for anyone with allergy issues.

No. I returned these, they were not made well and were skimpy. I bought different ones at Comfy Sheepskin - www.comfysheep.com - the ones from Comfy Sheepskin are more expensive BUT worth every penny - they are luxurious and come in numerous colors and DO protect the clothing and your shoulder. (I also bought a small sheepskin rug from them which is beautiful!). I buy everything I can from Amazon but sometimes we just have to go elsewhere.

I don't believe it is. The bed is made up for company coming and I don't want to unmake it to look but I always use a mattress pad anyway. This also helps to keep it from getting too hot in summer. Sorry I can't be more specific.
