Does the mattres cover go over the topper? Or do you put the matress pad on the matress and the topper on top?

I personally put the Mattress PAD on TOP of the mattress, then I encased them both with a waterproof and hypoallergenic mattress protector: this way I achieve three of my goals, such as the pad now stays in place on the mattress, I am protected from allergens and both mattress and pad will live longer. Also the protector is machine washable so i can take it off once a month and wash it.

I put this topper directly on top of the mattress. Then...wrap the mattress protector around both topper and mattress. I hope this helps...just take some measurements and make sure the protector will accommodate the thickness of your mattress + the two extra inches the topper will add. And if you don't want it to move around, look into a pair of the sheet suspenders also here on Amazon. They work great!

I don't see why not. The matress cover accomodates a thick matress, so it would probably stretch over a foam topper, assuming it isn't too thick.

I have a king bed. The organic mattress pad does cover the mattress with elastic on the bottom of the side panels but doesn't fit it tightly as I would prefer. The fitted sheet on top of it does the job of pulling it closely.

Ours is on a regular mattress and we love the set. It is a pad with an "Iso Cool" cover that is the part that keeps it cool. You could put just the pad over the pillow top. I would think that it would help keep you cool--but we use both pieces. HTH.

It fits overtop, like a fitted sheet. Btw, this mattress topper is awesome! We love it!

Not at all. I do have a standard mattress pad on it though. Nothing special just to protect the mattress. Very comfortable.

It sits on top of mattress, but has a cover which goes over it & the whole mattress as well. Very comfortable

The topper part (non foam) has a generous amount of cloth to cover even the thickest of mattresses. I was worried about this as well but it works great!

It's not washable, so I'd put a cover on it. I imagine this is the case with all memory foam mattress toppers.

This goes on top, the mattress pad version is the one you sleep on top of. That being said I find it best to put this between the sheet and whatever blanket you're using. Trapping all the warm awesomeness in :-)

The topper is slightly smaller than queen size. Does not line up exactly with the bed. A normal queen sheet will fit over it of course. However a fitted sheet will not fit over the topper and your mattress together. I suppose you can put the fitted sheet on the mattress alone and just use a normal sheet over the topper. The topper cover is washable so there should not be any issues. Minor inconvenience for the support this topper provides in my opinion. Regards.

Sorry, I have never used a mattress pad. I guess if you use a fitted bed sheet, the pad will stay in position over the encasement. I used the mattress and box spring encasement to get rid of the bedbugs. I hope this helps.

It's not a separate cover - I use a waterproof mattress pad over the mattress.

No. It lays right on top. With extra fabric that hangs over the edges, enough that some parts can be tuck in. It did shrink some after I washed it. I have an organic futon mattress, so the pad stays on nicely. Love my bed!The pad is not as thick as the picture shown, only a 1/2 -3/4 inch thick.

It can go over both on my bed, but my mattress is not super thick. I am just using to cover my mattress.

I just put the fitted sheet over it. I wanted to make a sofa sleeper more comfortable. The matress topper is great and really makes the sofa sleeper so much better, but I can't fold the bed up with the topper on so I have to store it separately when it's not on the bed.

I think the matt is pretty cushiony, and the one the sheet can be removed for washing, I put an additional sheet over the one it comes with tho, and just used the one it came with to protect the matress
