Review on Waterproof Twin XL Mattress Encasement With Zippered 6-Sided Cover, PlushDeluxe Premium Quality, And Cotton Terry Surface (Fits 12-15 Inches H) by Sarah Holmes

Purchased this for a patient with incontinence issues.Pros:Allergen resistant, check. Doesn’t seem to accumulate dust mites. It’s breathable, doesn’t intensify heat, easy to put on, tab over zipper keeps it zipped (and I can see how it would be bug resistant, although that’s not an issue I can attest to). It doesn’t make noise or crinkle. Definitely easy to clean, a spill you can scrub right off — it doesn’t stain.Cons:If you have a large mattress (height-wise) this may not fit. I used it for a 5 inch mattress topper and it worked great — it wouldn’t fit on the actual mattress, despite being the correct size. You may be able to purchase a size or 2 larger than your bed, but I don’t know if the corners will fit.Water resistance:I mentioned the incontinent patient. This mattress protector is easy to wash/clean and doesn’t stain or retain odor. HOWEVER, urine did seep through to the mattress. If you add an adhesive urine pad (adhesive so it doesn’t slip), under the person, you’ll be able to throw the pad out without urine reaching the mattress. On a protection level I gave the mattress pad a 2/5. 2 for cleaning ease, it doesn’t actually protect 100%.I imagine some will be purchasing for young children — this will help, but it’s not a potty training solution. Might be good for older kids with occasional accidents. Then I’d suggest putting the adhesive pee pad under the protector. Will protect the bed without getting ripped by tossing/turning, so you can leave the pad in place night after night.
