TRU Lite Bedding Queen Waterproof Mattress Protector - Safe & Clean Mattress Cover - Premium Cotton Terry Bed Protector - Protects from Dirt, Stains, Odors

I wasn't sure I'd be comfortable on this mattress protector. I had a wool pad on top of my latex mattress, then a cotton mattress pad, but I needed a new mattress pad that came down and protected the sides of the mattress, as the elastic in my cotton one was shot. I knew I didn't want the pucker-y, multi-elastic threaded sides like my old one. Those don't seem to last, the elastic gives way. I saved the cotton pad so I can sew it onto an old fitted sheet, get some more use out of it. Anyway, I always get all cotton, wool or even organic blah blah, but this protector looked like it might be a good change. I occasionally drink coffee in bed and I felt I was living dangerously by not having something a bit more spill-resistant on the nice mattress. But I wanted to have all-cotton. This is not all-cotton. It was a compromise.Well, I can't vouch for the spill-repellency, but despite the not-very-cosy, synthetic feel of the terry against my hand, I made up the bed with it and it's fine. It has a different sound from my old all-cotton/wool arrangement. When you get in, it sounds different. I forgot about it after 5 min, got used to the sound and feel very quickly. This cover didn't make me feel hot, as I feared. I will know more in summer how comfortable this mattress protector remains. Because it's thinner, more of a cover than a pad, I can feel the bounce of my latex mattress a little better, which I like. It seems more protective, and I think it's the trade-off of the feel of the terry against my skin, vs. the superior protection and repellency.This pad fits nicely on the mattress, which is about 10 in. thick. It fits snuggly even though it could accommodate a much thicker mattress.Now that I've clearly established my Sound of [Bedding] Music insanity cred, I recommend this protector.

So far it is fine -- haven't had any situations occur that would test its features. Definitely follow the directions and wash it before using it (I aired it out for a few days but it was so big I ended up washing it) as it shrinks from the washing a bit which helps with the fit (air dried it). It is still bigger than our brand new icomfort cal king mattress so not as snug a fit as I would like but not excessively baggy and loose either.Also, it absolutely sounds like you are sleeping on plastic. There is a plastic layer on the underside of the terry cloth and while it might be thinner and better quality than other plastic waterproof mattress covers, it still make that crisp sound when you move around. . . .but you can tell yourself it is your crisp cotton sheets making the sound and be fine with it, that's what I did and now 2 weeks later don't notice it. The mattress pad is not causing me to sleep warmer and I am very happy for that feature. I will happily keep this just to be done with this chore and think that for the money it is a GREAT value.

These mattress pads are on all of our beds, and I started using this style back when the kids were babies and hung out on our bed in diapers and with sippy cups and random spit-up moments. They're teenagers now, and it protects the mattress from random beverage spills and no telling what else. I buy a mattress because I like the mattress, and this pad is thin and doesn't change the feel of it, and it doesn't make us sleep hot. A bonus is that the terry cloth cover keeps the sheets in place and that's probably my favorite thing about it. It's kind of a pain to wash because you have to rearrange it and spin it about 4 times to get the water out before putting it in the dryer, but that's pretty par for the course with a waterproof mattress pad. The original one on my bed wore out a after about 10 years, but I think that's pretty good and. I was happy to buy another and hope it holds up as long.

I bought these mattress covers to use on our autistic son's bed. We have tried various mattress protectors over the years with different degrees of success. For our purposes we were looking for a cover that would fit snugly, not have a crinkly plastic feel or sound, wash & dry easily, and was affordable. This product more than exceeded our expectations.Pros:- There is elastic all the way around the cover so that it fits the mattress snugly on all sides.- There isn't a thick vinyl layer with this cover so it is soft & quiet while still protecting the mattress.- I can wash this cover in hot or cold water and tumble dry on low.- The price was perfect for our budget allowing us to get two for rotation.Cons:(As of now, I have not found any. However, I plan to update this review if that changes.)I am so pleased with this product. We also bought one in the crib mattress size for our youngest child. I plan to get more of these as our budget allows. I just wish we had found these sooner! I would recommend these covers to anyone looking to protect their mattresses with a product that is soft and also affordable.

I've tried many other mattress protectors before sky. They've either sounded like plastic when I move, made me sweat, not fit around my mattress well, torn, washed poorly. .. the one from sky I have on 2 other beds also and the things I like most about the product that keeps my loyalty to the brand, is the all around elastic. It doesn't come off my mattresses even when my 4 year old wrestles and jumps on it. It fits small and large mattresses, mine is 20". It does not feel like you have a protector under your sheets at all nor does it make me sweat. We sleep very comfortably. It washes very well! I wash warm dry low. Of the 3 i have, none have frayed or melted in the dryer or torn from use. It's also great as a barrier to keep the mattress dry from spills and potty accidents. We have been through a lot of life stages with these protectors and have not had to replace the sky ones since we purchased them. Can't say that for a few that were more expensive than these. For the price and durability, it's a steal!

Have had this about a year and no issues
