Is this mattress protector for the whole entire mattress, bottom, top and sides or just for the top?

I bought two twin XL (adjustable king-size bed w/two separate mattresses. The protector fits down over the sides to secure, but primary protection is top.

Mattress protector only covers the top. Nothing for the sides and bottom. The only thing covering the sides is the material needed to hold the mattress protector on the mattress.

The cotton terry side goes on top. This keep the mattress completely noiseless and comfortable to sleep on. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure as you didn't specify why you are using it. I don't think it would matter. Place it toward the top of the bed (waist on up) and it protects the upper body and gives a strong hand hold to lift yourself out of bed. My mother has been using it for over 7 years and loves it. It is a strong product and the section which goes under the mattress holds it in place. I hope this helps you.

I used this mattress cover for a waterbed. The top fits across the whole mattress beautifully and the sides are long enough and deep enough that they cover every part of the water mattress except the bottom. The mattress cover stays in place night after night without issue. With the cover on, I no longer have any part of the water mattress exposed. Take THAT cat!!!

It is applied like a fitted sheet. SafeRest also makes a zippered encasement, which encases the entire mattress. Please see the following amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=saferest+encasement

Yes it softens and cushions the mattress and being a sidesleeper shpuld not matter in the least...it covers the entire mattress

You'll want to use a bed sheet over the mattress protector. The top of the protector is relatively soft, but it would probably be more comfortable for the child to have a sheet over it.

It goes directly around the mattress itself. Then a mattress pad may be placed over it.

Place it under the mattress cover. This is still a good way to protect your mattress and have a comfortable separation between between to the topper/mattress and your sheets. I put a thin mattress pad cover over the mattress and topper combination and then a very plush one over the whole ball of wax. I couldn't be happier!

I have had it for a couple of months now. I am not using a mattress pad over the encasement. Unfortunately, when it needs to be cleaned, I think it will be a lot of work. Most mattress pads only cover the top. Because this one covers the whole mattress, it's a lot more work to remove and replace it once it's clean. I am not using the waterproof aspect of the encasement. I am using it because something was making me itch. Not bed bugs... Something else.. I have no idea. You can't see them and there are no bites, just itch. This pad has eliminated the problem.. Thank heaven. :)

This is not a mattress protector per se. If moisture is allowed to sit on the surface for an extended period of time, it will eventually work its way through. Your best bet for 100% waterproofing is to use a mattress protector with a waterproof backing, with the washable wool mattress pad over the top.

it stays on but I tuck all the edges deep into the sides, top and bottom of the mattress.

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.

Obviously its for any type of mattress, you put it on top of your mattress no matter what type or size your mattress is ....

It goes over the mattress nicely . Mine didn't move at all . Fits like a mattress pad with sides all the way around .

Lays on top covering the whole bed and then has enough material to go to the bottom of the mattress. And fit snug

I have a king bed. The organic mattress pad does cover the mattress with elastic on the bottom of the side panels but doesn't fit it tightly as I would prefer. The fitted sheet on top of it does the job of pulling it closely.
