Would the mattress protecter keep out BODY ODORS from the sheets and other linens? or just liquids? Does it have noisy/crackling sounds?

No noisy/ crackling sounds. Body odors from the mattress, yes. But the sheets & linens, I'd think since you are sleeping on those, you'd still have body scent on them.

Sorry to disagree with the other posters but I just returned this protector because it definitely DOES make noisy, crackling sounds.

The cover isn't noisy. I don't know about mattress protection. I haven't tested it with a spill, I sleep cool and mattress looks OK when I wash the cover. It washes, dries and looks good. Price was good for what is promised. Good Luck

I can just tell you that my mattress looks new and smells great. My toddler has peed and sweated on it heavily yet no odor is left behind. It is not noisy or crackly. As thin as it is it works well however my mattress feels best without it. It is a firm memory foam mattress.

There aren't any noisy or crackling sounds-my favorite part about thus cover. I am not sure if it keep body odors from the mattress, but I would imagine it would. My son peed in our bed one night and it saved our mattress!

NO! No more than anyone would expect. My wife used it for a weekend cousin's sleep-over and she is super sensitive about odors. She said she noticed nothing. She is thrilled with the bed.

Correct, waterproof mattress protectors will produce chemical off-gassing. I put a large organic cotton towel down on top of wrap then fitted sheet on top of that. It does still "crinkle" a bit but baby love all things that crinkle.

When you say cover you just mean the material of the matress right? No, it does not make any noise. The mattress has been great. The infant side though is super firm. I always used the toddler side! Hope that helps!

I haven't noticed an odor, but it has a pretty heavy zip cover and I put it in a pillowcase as well so maybe that helps if there is an odor. As for it getting hot, I sleep so well and so sound due to this gel memory foam pillow and the gel memory foam mattress topper I am unaware if it gets hot. If it does get hot it certainly is not noticeable enough to disrupt my sleep.

No. You'd need to get a zipper type enclosure around the whole mattress that allows air out but not chemicals. Something like a BabeSafe Cover (google it) would protect from off gassing.

do you have a mattress cover on it, I do &one; doesn't smell, or you can try some Lysol

Honestly, my units smell so bad, I can hardly think of anything else. I can't say they're terribly noisy, but there's a definite sound. No rattles or buzzes developed, which is often the problem with bedroom units. If you have other options, take them though - once the smell sets in, it can't be fixed!

The protector will hold liquids indefinitely, but you may smell urine on the mattress after an accident briefly as the protector is breathable (air passes through). This is just the smell and not the actual liquid and will go away quickly on it's own.

I have not noticed an odor on the mattress. I'm hoping that it was a fluke for that particular reviewer. I recommend submitting a comment directly to the reviewer and asking for an update...

I've got a good sniffer, and I detect no odor at all. It's nothing but polyester fiber fill (like you might find in a throw pillow) with that kind of papery/plastic outer layer that some mattress pads are made from. If there was any odor back when I first bought it, I would have put it in the dryer on AIR FLUFF or spritzed it with Febreze or hung it on the line for a couple hours.

I think so. I used it over my foam topper and it all seems fine. I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, and there is no noise that bothers me.

When the system has a bottle in it that it's preserving, it does run continuously. Luckily we sleep on the second floor but if you were close by, it's annoying. Its white noise. I prefer silence.

This sheet protector is made with a soft cloth like absorbent material. It stay where you put it and there is no noise associated with it. We bought 4 to made it interchangeable during the night. Mother stay dry during the night and I wash them as suggested and they are ready for the next night. They are very good quality as I said I wash them everyday.

I would definitely recommend the mattress cover even though the mattress is waterproof. In fact, I would get 2 of them; one to wash and one to use. You don't want the mattress smelling like pee for one, and it definitely will if you don't. It will also just be a lot cleaner. I'm all about making less of a mess if I can to have less to clean since there is already so much other cleaning that cannot be avoided. And pee is the cleanest thing that can end up on the mattress! I like to use peroxide in a spray bottle with paper towels when I do clean a waterproof mattress. I like that it doesn't smell and does a good job cleaning. I think it's a safer cleaner compared to say a Clorox wipe. I would recommend the flat one, instead of the fitted, so it will be easier to change. Or if your mattress isn't too heavy, it's really no big deal just to take the entire mattress out to change it so in that case the fitted would be fine too. (But then you have to take the crib bumper off. I actually took mine off since I got tired of taking it off and on all of the time.) Hopefully you have a Naturepedic mattress or other brand that doesn't use fire retardant chemicals to pass the flammability test. I've even read on a natural health doctor's website that when the pee, or other bodily fluids, mix with the fire retardant chemicals, it has a chemical reaction that makes an odorless gas that can cause SIDS.

I always use a mattress protector for my bed, so I may be a little biased. It works well. I dropped a pen in my bed the other day. I have also read comments about people concerned about sweating on the memory foam.

We did not experience too much odor....if there was some, it is completely gone now. The issue with these heaters is the noise. They pop and crackle as they cycle on and off. It must be the sounds of the aluminum elements and vanes expanding and contracting. It would be enough to disrupt sleep if place in a bedroom. We have two, one in a kitchen bay and the other in a back hall, so the creaking isn't too disruptive.
