I would say the fit is tight. I have a 3" memory pad that came with a cover. Then I put this around it all and then my fitted sheet. Tight and works well.

There is slack of material on my bed, so it is not necessarily a tight fit on a regular height mattress. I have not had an issue of it slipping off my bed. Unless the protector is plastic that you would put this over, you should be fine.

Yes, it will fit tightly to any mattress, as the sides of the mattress pad have elastic all the way down. It will fit a thin mattress up to a very thick mattress with no issue whatsoever. (I can't say enough good things about this mattress pad--it really stays in place well!)

Most likely, the elastic netting fits well on my full/queen, not gaps with room to for thick 3" mattress topper and 9" featherbed. I do not know how any product can truly protect against dogs and cats.

Hi, sorry for the delay - the item I purchased has no elastic band. I ordered a queen sized pad for a full sized bed. The mattress pad is thick, does not bunch up or float around. A full size would probably have been ok, but, having purchased, in the past, from other sources, the ones with the elastic, the cotton pad shank markedly, and, the part that goes over the sides of the mattress tended to tear. There are no problems with this mattress pad, as it is of high quality, thick, does not move. Hope this helps.

I bought a mattress protector for a queen sized bed, and I have a full sized. So the mattress pad and mattress fit inside the protector. But I'd probably scrub it with Shout if I dumped something on it

Hi Barbara, We actually bought this for a client who needed some modifications to a memory foam mattress. It fit well for him. There are so many kinds of foam products out there though the key thing is being sure you buy a pad that will fit the depth of your mattress. Measuring should be fairly simple and just be sure to order the right size of pad. Good luck! www.pamelahopedesigns.com

the pad fits perfectly even on thick mattresses. it is all elastic around the the entire pad. it is not pillow top, but works great over a mattress topper. i really recommend it.

Hello A. Seth: Thank you for your question regarding our product. The 5" skirt is made of a stretch jersey knit fabric in order that it can fit over most crib mattress covers. Since crib mattresses differ in depth (some of the new ones are quite deep), we have ensured that the elastic goes all the way around the bottom of the mattress cover. This means that even if it doesn't fit under the crib mattress, it will remain in place. We are sure that you would find the quality of our product to your liking. We do offer a satisfaction guarantee, so you can purchase with confidence. Good luck with all your baby shopping.Best Regards,Esther C.Owner, Tumpety Tots Baby Products Hello A.

We have a very deep pillow top king sized bed, and it is very roomy on our mattress. You don't feel the wires when sleeping on the mattress pad, and there is no need to put anything over the pad other than your sheet. It is a fantastic product, and we are thrilled with ours. I give it the highest rating, and would purchase again.

Zarett, what did you end up doing about the mattress? I went ahead and purchased this mattress and really don't feel safe about how it fits the bassinet. I'm thinking on ordering a custom made mattress from Naturepedic instead. Thanks!

It just means that the fitted sheet will work well with large (deep) mattresses. I have a queen mattress and the sheets fit great!

I've only had my Queen cover & split box spring covers since Jan., but the fabric is tightly woven & the construction seems VERY durable to me. The sides & bottom are of the same fabric (for mattress cover) and when pulled have a bit of a stretch to them -and the sides are pulled /kept together by a zipper on all 3 sides. The construction is superb. It seems logical with the tightness of the zipper joining the fabric (so no bugs come thru the stitching around the cover sides) that normal wear & tear from adult weight & kids tossing & turning on your mattress would NOT result in tearing. It was hard for us to zip it up (it takes two people) and the fabric was strong - if it were weak fabric, we would have seen small tears around where it was sewn due to our handling to make sure the twin box springs (& queen mattress cover) were tight & secure. I've also sewn clothes & repaired my kids clothes most of my life, and this product's fabric feels & seems quite durable. Q: Is your wood platform surface unfinished or does it have a rough surface that could produce splinters or tearing in the fabric's bottom, if there was lots of movement (e.g., jumping by kids) that could produce sliding of the mattress on the platform during use? How smooth is your large sheet of wood to touch? If it is not rough, you should have no problems. If you still have doubts, I'd suggest you contact the company directly if you are really concerned. The company should be able to give you the technical fabric specs (e.g., just like threads count for sheets determine their durability). Hope this helps.

It seems this was the 1st question asked - (and answered by Deneve.) This is NOT a zippered cover; it has the elastic band that cinches under the mattress - like a fitted sheet I presume -not an encasement.

It is fitted, but it is generous. I bought a queen sized protector for my queen sized Tempurpedic (very thick) mattress.

Yes, it does in fact have elastic that goes all the way around. It's quite a snug fit for playpens. It is a little thick (like a quilted mattress pad), but it does not bunch due to the nice elastic. I also love the thickness because it keeps the playpen nice and clean --- just take it off and wash it. You may have to adjust it a little, but it fit all 3 of my playpens perfectly (I have one at my home, sitter's, and at the grandparent's). My playpens are Chicco brand, Graco, and I forget what the other one is. As I said in my review, I also use it for my mini crib mattress. It does fit snugly, but our baby is unable to pull it off the mattress. Yes, it does in fact have elastic that goes all the way around. It's quite a snug fit for playpens.

Remember the box spring is exactly that. It's the shape of a box. Not really any room for slack. And you definitely do not want to tear the cover while putting it on. Mattresses comes in different sizes. I did try to cover a twin box spring with a twin mattress cover but my twin box spring was actually a twin XL. You can try it if it saves you money. I also found that my local Walmart sold mattress covers but not box spring covers..

Hello, As of yet, I haven't used the mattress cover because my apartment had an infestation of bedbugs and I had to throw everything out. A professional pest control agent came to see me and he looked at this mattress cover. He said that it is made of the very thing that bedbugs like most So, I don't know the answer to YOUR question but the mattress is no good if you are going to prevent bedbugs. Annette

This encasement is quite large as is, so expect it to be very loose. Maybe you can tuck in the extra fabric under the mattress...
