My mattress is water proof plus I do not use it to change diapers. I threw mine out.

It pilled up with the wash and dry{tumble low}! AND it shrunk just the tinest bit so to annoy you because it fits but not quite and you broke your nail trying to get it to touch the bottom of the mattress! Grrrrrr…..

I recommend the large quilted multi-use pad in addition. I have about 4 of them and they are essential. I use John Lennon receiving blankets (6 is a good number) with an quilted absorbing pad underneath to be prepared for spills and smudges on my contoured changing pad. I do the same on his crib to save me the headache of changing crib sheets which are very tedious to get off and on. It’s nearly impossible to do when you’ve had a c-section, and not a good idea to strain yourself.

I use this pad in my sons crib on top of his sheets to prevent the sheets from getting stained/soiled too soon. I also use it as a changing pad as well. They’re large enough to nearly cover an entire crib sheet, and they’re easy to clean. Put it in your laundry, and dry on low setting. I suggest buying 2-3 of these, so you have extras when it gets dirty.

They don’t hold up great in the wash, but it is no big deal since they are used under the sheet anyway. They serve the purpose, but just get "pilly" after a couple washings.

I’m not sure what "not impressed" review meant by it bunches up…it depends on the mattress. I got the Sealy Superpedic Firm mattress and the cover fits perfectly. Quilting gives extra comfort and it’s thick and waterproof.

This mattress pad is soft, but not too cushiony. Also, the waterproof element is located INSIDE the pad, so you don’t have too much of the annoying plastic/vinyl rubbing sound or feel. The pad has protected our mattress from many a baby attack.

I purchased two of these mattress pads two years ago for my son’s crib. This pad is so easy to put on and take off the mattress. It fits a standard crib mattress PERFECTLY, and lays nice and flat. It washes up easily, and does NOT shrink! It’s soft and durable, and it has NEVER leaked! Oh, and compared to many mattress pads that cost up to $19.99 each- this pad is a super deal!I was so pleased with this product that I’d buy it all over again- and I will. We are expecting TWINS this spring, and I plan on purchasing two more mattress pads for our second crib!I reccommend purchasing TWO for those middle of the night messes, that way you can change the sheets and pad in the middle of the night and not worry about washing the soiled pad till you wake up the next morning. 🙂

I like this mattress pad cover b/c it’s much easier to put on than the Evenflo one I have. My Evenflo one you have to tug, pull, and stetch to get it on and even then it’s not on perfect, a real pain. It does "pill" a little after being washed, but it doesn’t concern me, you put a sheet over it anyway. My 5 month old daughter’s diaper has leaked a couple of times overnight and the mattress stayed dry, that’s all I need!

My son used his “Kid-Ding fitted mattress cover” for over a year. It had gotten kind of gross so I decided to run quickly to the store to pick up a replacement. I made the mistake of not reading the details. This company Kid-Ding makes TWO different mattress covers that look almost identical if you don’t read between the lines! About the same size, one is a Kid-Ding FLAT mattress cover and the other is a Kid-Ding FITTED mattress cover.I wasted my money cause I couldn’t return it once I opened it and realized the one I got at the storeWaterproof Crib & Toddler Bed Pad – 27 x 50 – Whitedidn’t have a fitted skirt to wrap around the mattress! I tried to make the best of that one, but it was AWFUL! Underneath the crib sheet, it slips and slides all over the place and crinkles up like crazy! What a disaster!I went online to make sure I get the correct one this time, and I did!!! This one is a fitted mattress cover by the same company and is just PERFECT! Wraps around the crib mattress flawlessly and doesn’t move an inch! It stays put and makes slipping on the crib sheet so much easier!!! I have since bought another one! They’re great and reversible. I machine wash mine and air dry — DO NOT put it in the dryer!

THESE ARE A MUST HAVE! THEY PROTECT THE SHEETS FROM OVERNIGHT ACCIDENTS. MY SON IS IN CLOTH DIAPERS AND SOMETIMES HE WAKES UP WET (NOT SO OFTEN NOW THAT WE FIGURED IT OUT:)) AND NEVER ONCE HAS IT LEAKED THROUGH THIS PAD. IT HOLDS UP GOOD IN THE WASH AND IS DRYER SAFE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

I have been washing and drying it (low heat) with no problems. It fits well. Just don’t scrub really hard when you spot clean it, because I noticed a lot more "wear and tear" from that. Other than that, it’s just what I was looking for.

After 1.5 years this is still in great shape! I only bought one and it has lasted through tons of washes! This is all you need! Don’t go with the costly ones with this one works great!

I have an average sized mattress and this fits perfectly! It is super easy to install! If it "bunches up" like some others suggest, it is because it isn’t put on the mattress correctly. A little tug, and it goes right in place… kind of like a normal bed sheet, know what I mean?After washing, many lint balls pile up, but it is durable in the fact that it isn’t falling apart! Just because it collects lint balls doesn’t make it any less durable in my honest opinion.I recommend at least two of these!
