why terry cloth? Seems like it will have a 'sleeping on a towel feel"

Once it's under a fitted sheet it doesn't have a towel feel. It's not like a thick towel. It's a very low pile so it isn't a problem...unless you have very, very thin sheets.

If you have a sheet over it you will feel nothing but your sheet. I would not sleep directly on a mattress protector, instead use a fitted sheet.

The terry cloth is much finer than a towel and is not noticeable through the sheets.

Nah, it's not that thick. I think it just helps to avoid the "sleeping on plastic" feel that the waterproof liner might otherwise have.

I've never experienced that. It has a layer on top of the water proof material that feels like a cotton sheet.

Hi, The terry cloth has minimal stretch,as it's backing is the waterproof material. The fitted sides have elastic like a fitted sheet.

No, it doesn't make me feel hot (it's 100% cotton, with no synthetic fibers). I have a comfortable firm mattress, and I didn't want an overthick, fluffy pad on top of it, so I really like this pad. If I were trying to sleep on the equivalent of a board, maybe it wouldn't be enough.

I haven't tried yet but it feels like you could wash it on a gentle cycle. Has the same feel as a stuffed animal

There was no obvious heat buildup as opposed to other mattress protectors, and you can sleep directly on it if terry cloth isn't uncomfortable for you...but please know it does not last very long if you have a child who wets the bed. My mattress is RUINED because this thing only lasts a few washes.

My husband moves around and sleeps on all sides. I put several pairs of different brands on him at all times AND a pair of rubber pants. I do feel that the tranquility are the most absorbent and do like the real-fit depends under them. And a cheaper store brand first. This way I ca

No, the pad feels similar to other cotton fabrics. It doesn't feel any cooler than other mattress pads.

It's synthetic. Don't focus on the word "towel". In terms of material, this is no kind of towel as you know it. It's only a towel because it can be used to dry the body. The material feels very similar to chamois leather.

I would agree with the others: it's more substantial than the typical microfiber dust cloth but it's still smooth and soft on the skin. It doesn't feel rough or thick like a typical "towel". Don't put in dryer, hang to dry.

It is slick, not sure what kind of fabric, kind of feels silky like. But I really like the sleeping bag.

. . . because it is a cloth material, I find that it does not bunch up, n get irritating like the disposable pads do. Though, I am not going to say that it does not feel bulky either. It is a pad, so it's going to feel like you're wearing a diaper, just like when you're using regular disposable pads. Though I do not find that it is uncomfortable otherwise. I hope that helped! =]

The terry cloth is outside only inside is a different material. I really like mine even if they are a bit large for my hands.

It doesn't have that moisture-sucking feel of microfiber, and it's not fluffy like a towel. It feels comfortable when you use it, like durable cotton clothing. I have one that's been used about 500 times over 5 years, and run though the washer and dryer every time. It's still perfectly usable, although the border stitching is starting to look a little ragged.

I have always used a terry cloth towel to do this but I think a pastry cloth might work.

It's very thin, so I think you'd be better off with a mat, as well. Plus, without the cushion of a mat underneath, you might feel the grippy dots on the underside of the towel.
