What material are the sides of this made of--stretchy lycra-type or more like a cotton sheet? Does it grip the mattress well?

It's more cotton-like. It fits the bed well, but it doesn't provide a lot more comfort and a sheet does, just an FYI

It's elastic and covers the mattress well. I am very please with the product

The jersey material (like a t-shirt) from which the sheet is made is quite stretchy, and even when its first taken from the package, the sheet has what I'd call a snug fit. I think it should work fine on a slightly smaller mattress and should fit even better after being washed a couple of times.

Hello from Tumpety Tots. Our Crib Mattress Protector has a jersey stretch skirt that goes down the side of the mattress. I has elastic all the way around the bottom, to hold the Crib Mattress Pad securely in place. I hope this answers your question.

I ordered an organic cotton elastic sided mattress sheet. I got it from Amazon

It is a mattress cover that fits around the mattress like a fitted sheet. The top is quilted, puffy, soft & filled with micro fibers. The sides are made a thinner material similar to other mattress covers.

It's the same thickness as all the hospital-bed mattresses we've had before, so we use it as a mattress and it seems to work fine, though it is about half an inch longer than our other mattresses. Thus it's harder to keep some of our fitted sheets from pulling away at the corners.

It's basically designed like a fitted sheet. It needs to be wrapped around the mattress, otherwise the elastic will make it bunch up.

Yes, the sides are like a very fine mesh. I use it on a memory foam mattress. It does block stains very well but it is not entirely waterproof for large amounts of liquid such as a child that has an accident. It doesn't prevent the smell from lingering in the mattress either.

I don't know what it's made out of, cotton I guess. I like it. It was a little rough but softened up after I washed it. I bought for a beach blanket and it was good for two to lay on comfortably.

It fits just like a sheet. The side material is thin and not particularly sturdy ESP if you need to stretch over a deep mattress. That said, it is quiet and not hot and stays in place with the bed linens over it

Terry cloth-like top and plastic sides and bottom. If you put a mattress pad on top of the cover, you won't feel it or know it is there. Word of caution: the zipper is very weak. Ours broke the first time we unzipped it to put the cover on a newly purchased mattress. We bought the mattress after the three month return period, so were out any form of recourse with Amazon.

It says it is made of 100% polyester. it has a quilted feel to it though, very soft. I like it personally for our playard. Only problem is that it tends to bend up the bassinet mattress which I don't care for. But overall, its a good product.

It is cotton with layers of dense foam. I sleep like a baby on it. Much better than I expected. I bought 9 inch. Very happy with this product

Yes! I've had mine for a few months now, and it's still stretchy all around and easily fits my 16" mattress.

I'm not sure what the material is (my kids are sleeping right now or I would go check), but I did recently have to take it off and wash it. It ties at the corners so it comes right off and I stuck it right in my washing machine and dryer and it held up fine!

Hello, this one is more of a thicker gauze almost feel to the sides, and pockets, it has elastic so stays tucked in pretty well. Some of our sheets do shift and pull off corners sometimes but better than our old one.
