Incorporating smooth 200-thread count cotton surfacing over hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill quilting, the pad maintains breathability while improving overall comfort in any season. The durable polyurethane layer is soundless when moved on, so it is protective of the mattress but otherwise unnoticeable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite Waterproof - Unfortunately., February 19, 2009

By	J. Randolph "Lover of all gadgets." (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Newpoint International 200-Thread Count Cotton Waterproof Mattress Pad (Kitchen)

I was very happy to find this type product in Twin XL size. Why Twin XL bedding is so difficult to find is beyond me. Now back to the review.

I was very pleased with the design and apparent quality of this mattress pad. It fit on the mattress like a fitted sheet would and then we did put a fitted sheet over the pad. The mattress for this bed is the special Temper-Pedic memory foam which unfortunately costs approximately $2,000 for the mattress and being a foam-like material, it REALLY soaks up liquids. The cost of the mattress pad was reasonable and the mattress pad itself was soft and did not make any crinkling noises such as plastic would do.

The first time the older adult experienced urinary incontinence during the night, he slept through the "accident" and when he woke up later and informed me of the accident, I immediately went to his room at 3:00 AM and stripped the sheet and the mattress pad. I was very disappointed to find that liquid from the accident soaked through the top sheet and this waterproof mattress pad and had wet a fairly large portion of the foam mattress under the sheet AND the "waterproof" mattress pad. I immediately stripped the bedding off of the bed, however, the mattress could not be used until I could clean and dry it (an all-day job).

The older gentleman who had the accident has an enlarged prostate and normally does not pass a large quantity of urine at one time plus he was wearing underwear and sweatpants at the time of the accident. I was very disappointed that even with all of that, the mattress got wet.

We washed the mattress pad in cold/warm water on the gentle cycle and used Woolite as a detergent - in order to protect the mattress pad as much as possible when washing it on the gentle cycle too. After two hours in the dryer on the air fluff setting, the mattress pad survived the washing and drying with no visible damage. This mattress pad was back on the mattress that night - complete with a fitted top sheet again. Until we can figure out a better solution, we bought some adult incontinence underwear-type shorts to wear to bed - in addition to the above. We consider the addition of the incontinence underwear a temporary solution as we know it caused the older gentleman much embarrassment and another blow to his dignity. I am on Amazon.com today searching for something else to use in combination with this "waterproof" mattress pad.

I have considered buying another of these waterproof mattress pads and using two of them at a time, however, since the single waterproof pad allowed so much liquid to reach the mattress, I think I will be searching for something that is absolutely waterproof to use under this "waterproof" mattress pad and a fitted bottom sheet. I am hoping to find something that is definitely waterproof to put under this mattress pad that does not make any sound and will stay in place.

Knowing that someday my wife or I could find ourselves in this type of situation, we are more concerned with preserving the dignity of the older gentleman (as much as possible) by finding a workable solution that would eliminate the need of the incontinence underwear (which we know robbed the gentleman of much more of his already compromised dignity. We must save the mattress as he needs it for other health concerns and we cannot afford to buy a $2,000 mattress should this one become ruined.

Bottom line, the waterproof mattress pad did not prove to be waterproof for us. A large cold beverage was spilled on the bed with this waterproof mattress pad and a fitted bottom sheet. Being there when this happened, I quickly threw a towel on the spill and stripped the bed of its fitted sheet and waterproof mattress pad as fast as humanly possible. Luckily the mattress was not wet, but I could feel a slight dampness on the mattress after removing all of the bedding. From the spill to completely stripping the bed took less than two minutes - yet the mattress did get slightly damp in that short amount of time. That, to me, is not "waterproof". You might want to keep our experiences with this waterproof mattress pad in mind when looking for a similar solution to the problem the older gentleman we care for in our house.

5.0 out of 5 stars A decent pad, with a waterproof bonus., November 11, 2008

By	Cranky Yankee (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Newpoint International 200-Thread Count Cotton Waterproof Mattress Pad (Kitchen)

I wanted to protect my brand new fancy mattress, knowing that perspiration and body debris was about the only thing that would ruin it over time and a mattress condom is very hard to get on and off compared to a stretch pad on a big and heavy bed.

The size is perfect for a pillow top queen and the sheer sides are adequate, not too thin and tuck under nicely. It's a waterproof layer in between two cotton layers and when you wash it you will need to spin dry it at least twice, when they say waterproof they mean it and the water pools in the random pockets that get created when washed.

If this pad is durable over years' time, it will be cheap insurance for an expensive mattress, just don't overheat it when drying it and damage the inner layer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mattress pad!, December 17, 2008

By	Pamela S. Kewley "pamkay up north" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Newpoint International 200-Thread Count Cotton Waterproof Mattress Pad (Kitchen)

We wanted a waterproof mattress pad for our new memory foam mattress, just to protect it from life's little messes. When I read the reviews of various pads, my main criteria was that the pad be non-crackly, because we really hate the feel and sound of a plastic pad. I didn't care how thin the waterproof pad might be, since we would be using it under our regular mattress pad. This mattress pad is not crackly or crunchy at all, and is actually much thicker than I expected. Highly recommended!
