Review on πŸ›οΈ Premium Gilbins 100% Cotton Fleetwood Mattress Cover with Zipper Enclosure – Cot Size by Chris Mickens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used to make my own mattress.

I'm currently on a tight budget and was looking for a replacement mattress for a small bunk bed. Yes, they cost a fortune. I ended up ordering two of these: 2" x 30" x 72" Foam Sheet, the highest quality foam from a great company here at Revain, along with this Fleetwood crib mattress cover to make my own 4" thick to make a mattress. "To say I'm thrilled with the results would be an understatement. I have an unhealthy back and need a firm mattress - thick memory foam, even the densest, doesn't work for me, gives way too much. This foam is ONLY the right one (for me anyway), super tough but comfy and a bargain, 7-10 year warranty, and the seller is GREAT (foam came in 2 DAYS!) plus they are friendly, answer emails/questions.. That muslin -Mattress topper was easy enough to put on, I gathered it in a pile at one end of the foam (like a sock or stocking, starting at the toe) and picked it up at the edge of the mattress/foam, a few inches at a time, first one side then the other side from side to side until the enoplast was not fully closed then zipped it up, the zip is on one end of the cover and is a standard zip, so I'm guessing you would have a hard time manipulating a person and applying pressure to the zip to accommodate a 7 inch mattress, for example. probably goes without saying, but I think if you try to fit the mattress into the mattress pad by pulling it all the way out without closing it, you'll put too much stress on the zipper and it'll break. I see that the mattress topper would also easily accommodate thicker foam, like two of these: 3" x 30" x 72" foam sheet, or I could use a 2" piece and a 3" piece to make a 5" " thick mattress or added a thin layer of memory foam. Either way I'm happy as a pie and thought I'd mention the foam seller Fabric Bravo who ships FAST and responds quickly to any questions and I can vouch for the excellent quality Love the crib mattress pad too, thanks Excellent and Gilbin's!
