This mattress pad is so much nicer than the one I am replacing. The quilting is so thick that you can't feel the waterproof backing through it, and it doesn't make a crunchy sound that is common with plastic backings. It's all very soft on top, and has deep sides for a good fit.

We have over 12 mattress covers (and 4 different brands) for the triplets (). These are my favorite - they are very soft and cotton-made, keep shape and easy to fold after wash, and stack better than the others (especially comparing to BabiesRUs brand - which are very firm and won't stay on top of each if folded).

I highly recommend them!

Very nice quality, washes and dries well. Fits a 6 inch deep mattress!!!! Very very happy about that! :)

I purchased two of these mattress pads based on the good reviews. What a waste of money! I followed the washing and drying instructions on the tag exactly. When I took the pads out of the dryer, one of them was ruined. The vinyl was ripped and bunched up, as well as covered with holes. It's unusuable. The second pad was in better shape and probably still usable, but still torn up. Afterwards, I noticed the tag on the pad said wash in warm water while the packaging said wash in cold water. So who knows which instructions you're supposed to follow!? I would give this item zero stars if that was a choice.

This cover fit our crib mattress perfectly. It is thick enough to add some plushness to the mattress. No one notices the mattress pad. My mom even asked if we planned on getting one after it was on the mattress. It has also successfully defended the mattress from all the tests my little pooper has tried.

Vinyl ripped on first wash for me even though I followed the directions for washing. Very disappointed. Now I have to go buy another one and I will not purchase from this company again.

My baby has only recently started sleeping in her crib more because we co-slept for the vast majority of her infancy, but now that she's a toddler she spends more time in it at night. I've only used this twice for extended periods of time, so I'll base my review off of those two experiences:

pros: -It dampens the plastic crinkly sound from the mattress and gives it a pillow top feel...like a "big girl" mattress, while protecting her mattress from her random overnight leaks.

cons: -It didn't really fit her mattress good, which can pose a serious suffocation risk to a smaller baby, even when covering it with a normal crib sheet. I took a chance with it because my baby (outside of her birth weight) has always been oversized. I bought some 50 cent ironing board fasteners to make it fit tightly around her mattress and it stays put.

My overall recommendation is to shop around and look at different mattress protectors. You might like this one or you might not, just know your options.

At first I was very pleased with this product. But I just pulled it out of the dryer and the entire backing is torn apart. My washer/dryer has never ruined anything, so I'm guessing it's cheaply made (as other reviews noted). Now I need to buy another- such a hassle!!

I like the top of the mattress pad, but the vinyl backing is very cheap. The first time that I washed and dried this cover the plastic tore. I now have holes all over the back of the mattress pad. Don't waste your money.

I followed the drying instructions on the label, on the lowest heat setting. They are ruined now with holes and heat damage (even though the mattress pad was not hot AT ALL when I took it out of the dryer). If you purchase (and I wouldn't) these I would strongly suggest air drying. Very disappointed.
