Posturepedic Allergy Protection Zippered Mattress Protector

So I bought this on a whim without really looking too much into reviews or anything - I did not realize this was a full mattress encasement protector! Honestly, for the price I don’t mind.Unfortunately for me I have a massive queen mattress and there’s no way I could fully, properly get this on my bed and zip it without needing to pull the mattress off the frame and set it against a wall or something so I could struggle to wrap this around my bed, and then have to find a way to get it back onto the frame (which I already have perfectly set up with grip tape so nothing moves). No. I decided right away I wasn’t going to even try.What I ended up doing was fully unzipping, and then using an exacto knife, to cut a straight line down the underside/middle of this protector. Then I put it over my bed like a regular bed sheet and tucked the middle underneath the mattress as much as I could. I feel confident this will keep the tops and sides of my mattress safe. I would’ve liked to use this for full encasement protection but it would’ve been too much effort to get it on, and I originally just wanted a top sheet protector anyway. I would’ve very much preferred to put this on properly and encase my mattress - if I had an issue with bedbugs I’d definitely believe this would work. It’s well made and definitely would have fit and sealed around my mattress (60 by 80 by 12 inches).Luckily I only need this protector to keep my mattress safe from spills and sweat. I don’t have kids, only a few pets one of which is elderly and has the occasional accident. It will definitely protect against nighttime sweats, not sure if it would protect my bed from a spill from something like a full cup of water. However, the bottom layer on the top of this protector, or the side that would be touching your mattress, feels sort of plastic and I feel like it would at least keep anything from soaking the bed if I’m able to immediately remove it. The top side underneath the sheet, or the side you will be feeling, is soft but definitely not like cotton. I think the packaging said terry cloth or something like that.Overall I’m happy with this purchase, and for under $25 I didn’t mind that I made a mistake in ordering a full encasement vs a regular mattress protector, and at the price I definitely didn’t mind having to cut it down the middle to simplify putting it over my bed.So I grew up with the crinkly, plastic-backed mattress protectors. They made noise every time you moved on the bed and always slid around underneath the sheets. They were always a pain to adjust, a nightmare to wash and dry, and just an overall necessary evil to elongate your mattress lifespan. This encasement is not even close to similar - compared to my old one, which finally tore down the middle and had to be thrown out, this mattress protector is quiet. No plastic crinkling noises. I can tell it’s on the bed, but it’s smooth. No problems with sheets sliding around or bunching up, at least not yet. If that does happen it’ll most likely be because I cut it down the middle rather than using it as a full mattress encasement.TL;DR I ordered this product thinking it was a regular mattress protector, and then it showed up as a full encasement protector and I realized my mistake. However, for the price, I didn’t mind making my own “modifications” by cutting it down the middle so I could use it as a regular protector instead of having to put it on the bed as a full encasement. No plastic crinkling noises, it doesn’t feel crunchy, and it doesn’t make sheets slide around or bunch up. I cut off the excess and tucked it underneath a few inches on all sides of my mattress. It’s secure and hasn’t slid out even after sleeping on it overnight. If this one rips in the middle I’d probably order another one to do the same thing with because this works and I’m satisfied that it will protect from general use.

This is a great cover for your mattress! I looked and looked until I finally decided to buy this one and I’m glad I did. It is a little lose in my little girls bed but it doesn’t make crunching noises when she moves, it zips all the way around the mattress to protect it on all sides (and from bugs that may come around unwanted!) plus it protects it from stains that can occur from spilled drinks and accidents at night. I am also going to buy another for my mattress that I just purchased for myself.I would highly recommend this product!!

The description makes it sound like a fabric type top. It is not. It has a very plastic feel and as such would be noisy to sleep on. Also not sure about how breathable it would be. I am returning it.

It's made up of good, strong material and looks as advertised.

Protección de colchon como venía en la descripción, le quedo muy bien justo al tamaño, estamos muy agusto con el y además pronta entrega. Gracias!
