Does this mattress protector react to moisture such as sweat?

I have had this for over ten months (through the hot summer months) and have had no issues with heat over a memory foam mattress. I didn't get sweaty, so I can't answer for someone who has night sweats.

Not sure. Have never heard of that one before. This is a very nice quiet water proof mattress protector.

It depends on how much liquid seeps through to the pad--in my experience, it protects the mattress very well, even if there is quite a lot of "liquid" seeping throughout the sheet.

No- it doesn't leave any moisture on the area around it. Mine sits on a wooden nightstand and has never left any marks.

I think it might a little. But since you use the PUL inside, the soft fabric on the outside absorbs the sweat. Some times it feels a little damp, but vey very little. Hardly ever notice any dampness. Hope this helps

No, the Dri-Tec matress pad does not have a heat effect. We have this matress protector on both a king and a queen bed and are very happy with it -- one of the nicer matress covers we've ever had. I would definitely purchase this item again.

Considering the firmness of the mattress, we found the mattress pad to be a big plus in added comfort. I'm not sure if it's necessary for wetness protection though.

No, the waterproof portion of this mattress protector is like umbrella material. There is no plastic feel to it nor any crinkly sound. Note that this mattress protector is not quilted, so it is thinner than what I am used to, still I am quite satisfied with it.

I guess it all depends on your mattress. Our mattress has a cotton blend material on top so Yes...I'm sure this helps the protector to be more breathable & much cooler for us (no more mattress hot spots)However, Not sure how it works with memory foam mattresses, I know that they can get quite hot during sleep which is why we steered away from those (been there done that). We are Very Happy with this product & believe its worth a try! Getting our Zzzzzzzz's

It does but the material between the elastic edge and the waterproof part ripped very easily. Probably due to the fact that it is extremely tight around a standard mattress so you have to pull really hard! I would suggest the babies r us waterproof mattress cover. I bought it a couple months ago instead of the serta and its much easier to get on (not so tight) and it hasn't ripped yet!

I love the feel but I have it under my mattress pad and sheet. Does not feel hot. I am not using it because I have a child (so I can not say anything about being waterproof!), just using it because I wanted good protection for my new mattress.

There aren't any noisy or crackling sounds-my favorite part about thus cover. I am not sure if it keep body odors from the mattress, but I would imagine it would. My son peed in our bed one night and it saved our mattress!

Yes, here is the spec-sheet which is states that it has moisture protection http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/bb/bb7d022c-d1e7-4d74-95c4-8d47ef93a284.pdf

No, it's not a cooling mattress protector, but the waterproof backing doesn't make one's back feel hot and sweaty like some rubber-backed or plastic-backed materials do.

I'm not the best person to ask about this, as I am always cold and sleep w/a heated mattress pad on my side of the bed, but my husband, who is always warmer than I, has never complained about being sweaty on his side of the bed. My daughter, who has a different company's memory foam mattress, doesn't mention anything like that either. Hope this is helpful! Much success to you!

It is very thin and I don't even know it is there, it is supposed to be waterproof but I have not put that to the test. I bought it to protect my Memory Foam mattress against stains to protect the warranty. if you do get it prewash it but be sure to do only delicate and very low heat so not will not damage it.There is no padding for that would defeat the foams function.Hope this helps and I will be glad to answer any other questions that I can.

I can just tell you that my mattress looks new and smells great. My toddler has peed and sweated on it heavily yet no odor is left behind. It is not noisy or crackly. As thin as it is it works well however my mattress feels best without it. It is a firm memory foam mattress.
