Is this actual rubber or some sort of vinyl? We keep our bed 'organic' and would only buy if it's true latex rubber, not a vinyl.

I really have no idea about the vinyl vs rubber but I can tell you that in less than one year it leaked through. It was washed and dried often.

there is some non organic materials in it. that is one of the only ways to make it a water proof cover. I have two of these covers. the outer/top layer is very think organic fabric. the inner, the part that comes incontact with the mattress is the non organic part. Overall I would recommend this product.

No, it is not cotton because it is water and fluid resistant. It is a synthetic but it is not 100% vinyl. It is zippered. I have seen several types and like this one the best. Our pest control guy recommended covers in general since we rent out several furnished apartments and a good offense is a must. He cautioned that this does not mean you will not get bed bugs but only that they will have fewer places to hide.

its plastic. There is no reason that a thin pad -or a couple of towels could not be placed over the 'bed'. I used a rolled up sheet of bubble-wrap for a while when my lower back was being tender.

Don't know, sorry! It doesn't seem as plasticky as a lot of kids sleep stuff though - feels very natural and kind of heavy. There are no flame warnings on the labels, so I'd say the material is okay for me.

I don't know if it is latex. It is rubber, though. It does not have a scent to it. Hope this helps!

The grip feels like rubber yet very comfortable. Some say there is a difference between natural rubber and latex. It is possible that it contains latex but I am not sure. That is a mfg. question.

The included mattress might be an inch thick, no more. It appears to be a plastic pad, exactly like what I slept on for naptime in kindergarten, if that's helpful. I didn't use the included mattress and got the organic one instead. It's a bit thicker, 1.5", and made of organic wool, latex, and wood. It's more sturdy and cushy.

To the seller:What do you have to say about this comment left in the reviews of this mattress?The company told me that it contains SOY FOAM. This is information I found on soy foam. It is best to ask questions to make sure of what you are getting. It does sound comfortable which is great, BUT if you are looking for pure latex mattress, DON'T BE FOOLED, THIS MATTRESS IS NOT MADE OF 100 PERCENT PURE LATEX.

NO it's not. The outer layer is made with vinyl which has toxins- especially detrimental to infants. Consider an organic mattress instead

I think it is some type of synthetic material that is a substitute for rubber. We are pleased with the product.

Yes, it is not 100% Vinyl as advertised, it is actually 100% PVC as it says on the package when you receive it. It has a horrible toxic smell, returned after one shower (never felt so dirty). DO NOT BUY THIS.

Neither. It's a synthetic jersey-like fabric. It's somewhat stretchy and seem to be strong. Works well on my bed.

I feel the same way. I bought this thinking it was a flexible rubber type material. It is ridged and will kink if it is bent too much. I think that it is vinyl, but definitely not as flexible as I wanted it to be. I made it work though.

I am not positive, but I do believe that it is rubber, or else a soft, flexible plastic. I would contact the seller to be certain.

It is made of a dense foam (no coils) - it only states the cotton cover is organic, so would assume the foam is not. However, it did not have any chemical odors when I unwrapped it. The foam is a much more dense, (seemingly) higher quality than what came with the portable crib I purchased - firm, not a lot of give, but still soft feeling. Plus the organic cover seems to be of high quality. My grandson sleeps soundly on it. Note that the mattress cover is not waterproof. I purchased an organic cotton waterproof mattress cover to go over it and then covered all with an organic cotton portable crib sheet.

Mine never had a rubbery smell, per se - it was actually more of a kind of cake-y smell right when we unfurled it, and then it went away as soon as we put sheets on the bed.
