Very affordable mattress protector

I cant attest to the water resistence and don't plan to test it. I bought it to keep most of the dirt and body oils from migrating in to my mattress. So far I can say its doing its purpose very well. Its not noisy on my foam mattress and seems to conform well and did it at a price I felt was great.

Simple, easy installation - no need to remove mattress.  Elastic strip around top has two seams - one will wrap over top of foundation, and the other wraps around the foundation side on three sides - front is a single strip of elastic about 1/2" wide which grips the foundation front.  Nice microfiber material is darker grey than pictured, but works fine for me.  Exactly what I was looking for, as my old bed skirt had a top cover which made it almost impossible to install or remove without taking mattress off the foundation. Nice quality materials and design, as well.  May buy another in a different color, as the price is quite reasonable, and color selection is decent.

These work fairly well.  Our previous waterproof mattress protector lasted about 10 years (and a handful of washings) before the lining broke down and stopped acting as a barrier.  Had an angry dog pee on the bed once, and this kept the mess on top where it could be removed and the bedding washed.  Nothing made it down to the mattress!  It's latex (or something similar) covered woven fabric, not plastic sheeting, so it's not hot and sweaty (ours is UNDER a mattress pad and the sheets anyway).  This one seems to be of comparable quality to the one it replaced.  Fits a deep mattress (ours is 15" with an extra 3-4" of foam toppers).

This mattress protector is simple to put on, it goes on exactly like a fitted bed sheet.  There are 2 layers to the the mattress protector, a quilted layer on top and a waterproof layer underneath to prevent any liquid from penetrating onto the mattress.  This provides a good way to prevent the mattress from any type of water damage.  I'm not sure if spills at the side of the bed will offer the same protection because there is not the same waterproof material on the side, whether this will allow any liquid to seep through has yet been tested.  The protection is mainly for the top of the mattress while the bottom is not fully covered.  If you're looking for a full encasement of the the mattress, this is not the right product for you.  But if you want protection for the top of the mattress, this works very well.  When I need to wash it, I just strip off the mattress protector and throw it in the wash.  It's very easy to clean.

I do notice a different feel even when I have the mattress protector on, but not enough to be annoying. The peace of mind that this offers in protection is well worth it.

Good:
Easy to put on the mattress protector.
Simple to clean, since this is easily machine washable.
Assurance that your mattress will be protected from any type of spills

Bad:
Top material is not completely smooth to the touch and a bit rough but this is a minor issue and should be underneath the sheets.
Not necessarily a full cover for the mattress, but it depends on what you're looking for.
Top layer is a bit rough, could be softer.  I have used softer mattress protectors.

I received this mattress protector at a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased opinion.

I recently got this protector to go over the Lucid 3-inch Gel Memory Mattress Topper that we got for our teenage son's bed.  I like how it fit perfectly over the topper and the twin size mattress.  The protector is lightweight, yet appears to be durable as well. So far I am very happy with this mattress protector!

Does What It's Advertised To Do

I recently purchased a new twin mattress for my son's new bed, and I knew I wanted a mattress cover that could help protect and retain the new mattress from damage. Upon opening the pad, I was a little disappointed about how thin it actually is. The material is a thin, lightweight terry cloth, with a underlining of a nylon/plastic material. My biggest concern is wondering how well this product will stand up against washing/drying. The cover fits well over the mattress with minimum struggle. I did not pre-wash before using, and have not washed it yet, since I just put in on a little over two weeks ago.  I may update my review if I run into any troubles after washing.
 I liked that it has the underlining to help protect against spills, leaks, or accidents, although I'm not quite sure if it would actually hold an accident and prevent it from leaking through onto the mattress itself, because lucky for me my son has been accident proof for a while now.
I did try a cup of water as a test for the cover.  I poured approx. 6 ounces of water onto the cover, and the terry cloth seemed to hold the water and the underlining managed not to leak through the mattress. Which was a relief, and made me happy to know at least the  cover seemed to work, as far as liquid protection.
In my opinion, I believe this cover will help in defending against dust mites, and allergens. The best feature of this product is the 10 year warranty, which makes anyone feel more of a sense of relief when purchasing a product. I received this product at a promotional price, in exchange for my honest review.
I think as far as quality, I would rate this product a 3/5, as far as testing it out a 4/5 and overall a 4/5.

This is my second mattress protector like this.  They are the best I have found to fit my needs: an older cat who has had a couple of accidents on the bed.  For me a mattress protector is peace of mind just in case!  Since I've used one, she hasn't acted up, but I did spill my water bottle on the bed once, and it was a pretty big spill.  It was nice that all I had to do was grab a towel and blot it up.

Positives
-It fits my 18" mattress well.  It fits 8" to 22" mattresses.
-It doesn't make any sound
-It's comfortable with a terrycloth cover that goes next to you
-It's not plastic, but more like a super tight weave soft Tyvek sort of material.
-I put some water on it, and it didn't soak through.  In fact, even the terry cloth didn't seem to get wet!
-No bad smell out of the bag- it doesn't smell like plastic or chemicals
-stays on bed well, doesn't wrinkle - Even though I've pulled the sheets off and wrinkled them, the pad has stayed in place
-15 year warranty
-Protects from dust mites

Negatives
-This sort of fabric DOES increase sweating if the room is hot for some people.  My husband tends to stay very warm and he notices this when the room temperature is warm.  I am more cold natured and it has not bothered me.
-The cats want to scratch it if they see it. They seem to think it will sharpen claws. I HAVE to keep it covered with a sheet unless they are out of the room
-if you bleach it, it ruins it and it won't be waterproof anymore according to the care instructions
-has to be washed in cold water and on low tumble dry

With an incontinent family member, a good quality mattress protector is an absolute necessity. Some fit the bill, and some, unfortunately, do not. I am thrilled that this one does, indeed. While it is a little thin, and I was apprehensive, it is definitely waterproof. And to be honest, I'm ecstatic, because so long as they work, then the thinner the better. There is no noise with this, as sometimes they can get quite noisy. No weird bunching under the sheet. It goes on like a fitted sheet. Stays in place. I haven't needed to use my under mattress straps to keep it in place or to keep it from bunching. Our mattresses are memory foam and it is crucial that we not get any moisture on them, or we risk voiding the warranties. This is just what the Dr ordered. We have used it daily for almost two weeks and not one drop of urine has touched the mattresses. I have had to wash this almost daily and all that washing hasn't put a dent in it. It holds up well in the washer. I did receive this product for a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I love this mattress protector because it has maximum protection, and does not reduce the comfort/feel of my mattress. It is quite easy to put on and take off and fits my bed perfectly. Having spent a considerable amount of money on my mattress, this cover gives me the piece of mind that my mattress will maintain its value.

Since my foam mattress has a non-removable/washable cover I figured I'd better buy something to protect that purchase. This is a very well made product with lots of promises over a long time.  It is not a quilt-type cover.  It's more like a terry clothe in texture--a good compliment to the smooth texture of the mattress cover.  But because it is thin it can bunch up in the middle a bit.  I suppose I could tie a cord connecting the long elastic cords from side to side to cinch it up...but I probably won't. So I marked it down a star.  Great value overall.

I based my purchase on the reviews, and I was not disappointed. I purchased the box spring cover and pillow cases (I had already purchased a different mattress cover before finding these). As someone who is now allergic to dust, this has been helpful (both mentally for the piece of mind that my box spring mattress won't be collecting any more dust/letting dust out, and physically in reducing my allergy problems). The material is thin and soft. There's no extra material, so it fits perfectly without sagging. It was quite easy to put on the mattress, too. Highly recommended, especially for the price.

The fit is great and it's very easy to put on the mattress with two people. The material on top is also really soft, so it doesn't feel like you're sleeping on plastic. I would definitely recommend this mattress protector.

Great quality product for a low price . We have bought a expensive mattress protector from Raymour & Flannigan, and there is no difference in the quality. Buy this and save some $$
