Are the sides waterproof as well?

No they are not. However, to me it's not a problem and it never leaked through the mattress when my kid had accidents in the past. The sides are made from elastic material so you can fit around the mattress. On a regular twin size, this protector covers the whole entire mattress and the sides are mostly tucked in underneath the mattress. Hope this helps.

Yes, they are waterproof. It's one of their bigger selling points, and it states it on the box. We've had a few downpours and 2 snowfalls, and they still work great (they're out in the open, not under any kind of shelter)!

Hi Sandy, that´s what manuifacturer says, it looks waterproof, but I have not dropped into water yet! They look solid and well done

As far as I know they are waterproof. Mine are outside in the weather and I never take them down or turn them off. So far so good!

They are totally waterproof, and I have used them both ways. Hope this helps.

The sides are a stretchy fabric that is different from the top of the matress protector. The top has a layer of waterproof material underneath the terrycloth. I doubt that the sides are completely waterproof, but liquid might roll off, as it is finely woven and slick. I haven't spilled anything on it, so I am not 100 percent sure of this.

These are not warerproof, so no. They do make ones that are waterproof for outside use.

Yes, the sides are breathable. The cotton terry surface and the polyurethane barrier are only on the top of the mattress protector.

It is covered, however, the mesh-sides can allow rain to get in. I haven't used it during the rain.

I don't know if they were designed to be waterproof, but I used them outside in the rain and had no problems.

They do appear to be waterproof or at least water resistant...I have used them for many months and they have been great. They can be wiped off if liquid is spilled on them, but they are not crinkly or uncomfortable.

Yes it is. The pink side is waterproof and it is lined with white cotton fabric. Both very durable material.

The sides are a thick plastic, they stay up when filled with water. When the water level gets too low, the sides will flop over

This has a waterproof cover on one side, but we used another waterproof cover on top of it to protect our investment (just in case). We have used it at times without the cover and we have not had any leaks go through, so you could probably do without the cover with no problem.

Both sides seem to have a similar shiny finish. It seems to be quite water proof for a ground cloth, and appears to be a durable product. I would buy another one.

The side panels are thin netting so they wont block the heat. The waterproofing is only on the top.
