I am not sure what you mean about the skirt. But yes it does have elastic all the way around. It hasn't been popping off.

It has somewhat deeper pockets so I would not think that it would work on a smaller mattress. It does have good elastic on the skirt.

I have had two of these. They are really for a very thick mattress with foam memory pad on top - lots of bulk unless mattress is thick.

Mine is an older, thinner mattress, and it stays on fine...mine does not have a skirt. Perhaps that is a different product? But it does stay put.

I think the elastic is good and it stays on well, I don't have a deep mattress and I have not had any problems. I guess Im not sure what you mean about the skirt. If you are referring to a bed skirt that covers the box spring and hangs to the floor, that is not past of this mattress pad.

We didn't use a separate cover since the pad is heavy enough that it doesn't move. We used a mattress cover that was simply deep enough to cover both mattress and latex. Since we purchased a basic, firm mattress that wasn't too thick with this solution in mind, it works great. There are also covers that completely zip around a mattress if you want to go that route, but as I have a king-size mattress (unwieldy) and wanted to be able to periodically launder the cover, we didn't do that.

No, & at top it the skirt is an elastic band. It's ok, but it doesn't stay in place I had to secure to the box springs.

It is made to fit thick mattresses, however its elastic band is pretty tight and strong and I don't see any problem if you fed the excess under your mattress, I think it would snug it nicely without a lot of excess.

Elastic is all around, but elastic is very poor quality so the sheets keep coming off the mattress. Unfortunately we bought three sets of sheets and they are all the same. I would not recommend purchasing these sheets.

This did not work for us. It fit around the King bed and I purchased the screw in pins as well, but the back elastic continued to work it's way up. If your purchase, I would suggest that you pin screw in the back elastic as well

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

Totally not sure if the skirt material would go the distance at the headboard area - of course, the elastic would stretch - I just believe it would look 'stretched' and I wanted a softer look which I have with the queen size on the queen size mattress. I also use the curly type screw in pins to hold up maybe 2 or 3 on each side - I like a full and even look. I love the skirt because I'm of an age that raising up mattresses to pull up a bed skirt, not something I can or want to do. Hope this helps.

It just lies over (and into) the gap. Which is part of the problem. There really is no way to keep the mattresses from shifting. Yes, you can remove and reuse the product.

the skirt is elastic and only covers 3 sides of the mattress. In the photo, the part of the mattress not covered (pillow end) would normally be against a wall or headboard.

Hi Fern, It has a skirt for deep mattress and is fitted like a sheet on the bottom of the skirt. It is also made of very good material and stretches a little but doesn't slip around on the bed. I've had mine for almost a year and am very satisified and would buy again. Dave

Yes, the bed ruffle is all one piece that is all connected together under the mattress. You either have to remove the mattress or you can do what I did and strategically lift certain parts while you sneak the bed skirt underneath.

I have a deep mattress with a memory foam topper. This works great on it. There is no "skirt" per say, it may appear that way on a regular depth mattress.

It has elastic all the way around, but it's some of the weakest elastic I've ever seen and does not hold the fitted sheet in place. Instead of being tight on my very deep mattress, the fitted sheet is loose and moves around. Sadly, I will probably throw these sheets away.

Hello A. Seth: Thank you for your question regarding our product. The 5" skirt is made of a stretch jersey knit fabric in order that it can fit over most crib mattress covers. Since crib mattresses differ in depth (some of the new ones are quite deep), we have ensured that the elastic goes all the way around the bottom of the mattress cover. This means that even if it doesn't fit under the crib mattress, it will remain in place. We are sure that you would find the quality of our product to your liking. We do offer a satisfaction guarantee, so you can purchase with confidence. Good luck with all your baby shopping.Best Regards,Esther C.Owner, Tumpety Tots Baby Products Hello A.

It doesn't come with a bed skirt attached it has a "skirt" that is like a fitted bed sheet that wraps around the mattress to hold it on. Your fitted bed sheet will fit just fine over the top of it.

There is a band of elastic, but it's only at the outer end of the fabric. The elastic material does not cover the full sides, as I've seen with other mattress pads. The mattress pad fits well around my mattress (my mattress is not thick, so the elastic part is underneath), but it is more loose/baggy on the sides than with my previous (non organic, cheap) mattress pad. Nothing that bothers me, though.
