SLEEP TITE Hypoallergenic 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector - 15-Year U.S. Warranty - Vinyl Free - Cal Queen

I just purchased a Sleep Innovations 12 inch King Mattress and wanted a good cover to protect it. The Mattress, being memory foam, is resistant to Bed Mites and I consider it a plus that this cover is Resistant to Bed Mites as well. As my title suggest, I like the idea of protecting my investment in a new mattress - It came quickly as promised and it fitted perfectly. After sleeping on it, I agree that there is no difference in comfort. It's like it's not there! I can't comment on the protection from spills, but judging from the waterproof barrier and quality of construction, I expect effective protection. My wife is very nick picky and the fact that she didn't complain about it is a testament in and of itself! Also the 15 year warranty is a plus! I will probably invest in more of these for our other bedrooms. I'm confident you will not be disappointed.Be sure to read the care instructions so you do not void the warranty nor it's protection.

The product name is a bit vague. This is not an encasement, it is a cover, like a basic mattress pad. Unlike allergy mattress encasements that go all the way around the mattress/box spring and have a secure zipper closure, this cover fits only over the top and corners, just like a mattress pad would. Having said that, it does have an absorbent quality on top (to the touch it feels like a soft towel) and the corners fit over a very deep mattress, which is nice. The corners are also not an allergy-proof material of any kind. Like a normal mattress pad, the corners are a shear, stretchy, netting material. So basically, in terms of allergy protection/bed bug barriers just think of this more as laying a piece of material on top of your bed and then placing your sheets over it like normal. They are high quality (as they should be for the price I paid) but since I bought them to protect my bed from me and me from it, I believe my money would have been better spent elsewhere.Update: Not more than 2 days after I wrote my original review I spilled a HUGE cup of bright red fruit punch all over my bed by mistake- 52 ounces to be specific. The sheets and blanket went into the washing machine immediately as I kept stripping the bed as fast as I could. In all fairness, I do have a total allergy encasement protector over my mattress UNDER this mattress pad and that probably would have prevented the punch from getting to and staining the mattress IF it had even gotten to the allergy encasement but there wasn't so much as a drop- not damp- not pink- NOTHING!I stand by my review in terms of this being a mattress pad and not a full-allergy protection piece HOWEVER, this is one WONDERFULLY absorbent mattress pad. When my cup spilled all 52 ounces, of course, basically all pooled to the center of the bed where I had been lounging. All 52 ounces ended up staining (temporarily, until it was washed) an area only about one foot wide and 2 feet long- that's a lot of liquid in a very small area and yet, this mattress pad contained it all, which is very good since this kind of punch is known for its ability to stain. In fact, I was barefoot at the time that I spilled my drink everywhere and even after a shower the bottoms of my feet and cuticles were still a bit tinted but my mattress and it's encasement were perfectly fine and totally dry so my review is now going to 5 stars for this product's absorbency.

What an excellent product and an equally excellent buy!We just purchased a new King size mattress, and I think I've researched mattress protectors as much as the mattress itself. The mattress we chose was more than we had wanted to spend 0 aren't they all?So protecting it without sacrificing comfort was the goal. After searching Amazon and other stores and sites I kept coming back to the Sleep - Tite.It's everything it promises to be and more. The protector has just enough cushion to add a little extra comfort to any mattress, it fits our 11.5' thick king perfectly and protects the sides as well.In addition, it's beautifully made with quality stitching, no loose threads and extra box stitching along the corners and sides. The pad is completely silent, there is no "crinkle' whatsoever and it doesn't sleep hot as the material breathes.Benefits:1) Protects your mattress and keeps it looking brand new2) Cotton and Terry top absorb and wick moisture away3) Silent and quite comfy4) Does not change the feel of your mattress5) Maintains optimum sleeping temperature5) Prevents Dust mites by making it impossible for them to live in the mattress6) Keeps dust and debris out of your mattress7) 15 year warrantySimply a wonderful product that does what it promises to do.
