So people say the cover is waterproof. Is it a separate cover? I'm trying to figure out if I need to buy a waterproof mattress cover as well.

It is not a separate cover. It is like a vinyl material making it very easy to clean. We have not had any problems with it.

I bought waterproof covers just in case but the mattress itself has a vinyl(?) case that is non-removable. I've had to put a sheet over just the mattress when I've run out of waterproof covers and it didn't seem to be affected by a pee-accident at all... I just cleaned it off and it was fine, it didn't feel like it had been penetrated.

The cover is waterproof, but it is not a separate cover. Despite the fact that it is waterproof, we also use an American Baby organic waterproof mattress cover, bought from Amazon also. It's a super snug fit and adds a little extra comfort to the mattress. Highly recommend it to go with this mattress!

the cover is not separate. I did not get another waterproof cover, I did get an organic cover just to keep the mattress and to create a softer padding.

It's not a separate cover - I use a waterproof mattress pad over the mattress.

The waterproof cover is sewn onto the mattress. There have bed wets with my twin 20mo. Old boys but I wiped it clean and kept going. I have not had any problems. No mattress cover is needed.

The cover seems to be waterproof, but we stack the sheets and mattress pads anyways. We put down a mattress pad, sheet, mattress pad, then sheet, and so on about 4 layers, so in the middle of the night if the top layer gets dirty/wet, you can yank off that layer and be back in business!

Best mattress ever. The material that covers the foam is waterproof but not removable. Do you would be wiping the mattress itself if need be. I use a seperate waterproof mattress pad so I can just throw it in the wash but I guess you wouldn't need to.

There isn't a separate cover on mine. I think it just means that technically you may not need a cover but we got one anyways. Those blowouts seem to get through anything! :)

There is no separate cover, same as any crib mattress. It is waterproof and has the added benefit of a side seam so vomit, etc. won't pool on corner seams (because it has none). It is wise, like any crib mattress, to get a waterproof mattress cover because then you won't have to clean the mattress. Just pop the cover in the washer and you're done.

Yes , my experience with water proof covers is that they are a bit bigger than the actual mattress . I think waterproof cover and sheets are the same thing, but just to communicate clearly I am referring to a waterproof mattress cover.

This has a waterproof cover on one side, but we used another waterproof cover on top of it to protect our investment (just in case). We have used it at times without the cover and we have not had any leaks go through, so you could probably do without the cover with no problem.

It does not appear to be separate, as in it is not a discernible separation. It is a very thin cover, not like a regular mattress pad and certainly does not have any "plastic" quality to it. I have faith it will do what it's intended for, protecting the mattress. It's simply not cushiony and that is why I added a cushion-style pad over it.

I dont think it is waterproof I have an older dog who sometimes urinates in her sleep and when it has happened when she is on the couch it has gone through the cover and onto my couch I now keep washable puppy pads under these covers for this reason as they are waterproof but not very attractive

Yes, this is absolutely waterproof. My three old wets her bed regularly and it does not seep through to the mattress. I can guarantee that. We bought two, to have an extra to remake the bed. I am about the order more for my sons bed right now.

I have found this cover to be cooler than others that I have tried. There seems to be a bit more air circulation. Not a dramatic difference but enough for me. I would definitely put a waterproof cover between this and the mattress. Sweat filters down through the cover and has caused my foam mattress topper to get moldy. This is not unique to this cover. I have found that all covers have the same problem. You will need to provide a way for the area to air out and get dry in order to combat this. An absorbent layer (towel) on top of your mattress that is changed frequently may help.

No you don't. I've never even bought a mattress protector cause all my son's toddler mattresses are the waterproof material. Just wipe clean in case of a accident. Until they're in a regular twin mattress, you really don't need the protectors.

It does but the material between the elastic edge and the waterproof part ripped very easily. Probably due to the fact that it is extremely tight around a standard mattress so you have to pull really hard! I would suggest the babies r us waterproof mattress cover. I bought it a couple months ago instead of the serta and its much easier to get on (not so tight) and it hasn't ripped yet!

I'm checking out this bed because it's waterproof (or supposed to be). How did your dog urinate through the waterproof cover? Is it not what it claims to be?

Yes it is truly waterproof but I always use a mattress protector in addition. I think it is more pleasant for the baby to lay on a mattress with a protector and a sheet. Also it is easy to whip off the protector if there is an accident, wipe off the mattress and put on the spare...I would use a mattress protector even if it was a second or third baby :)

It's waterproof. I've also found that changing table mattress covers work great as a cover too.

Thanks for posting your question, According to the product title and details, this cover is waterproof and protects against fluids, perspiration and urine. Other customer question and answers state the cover is fully waterproof. I hope this helps!

Hi Alli, thank you for your inquiry. Our covers are not waterproof, but rather are highly water resistant. We do not manufacture, nor do we recommend completely waterproof covers as they do not allow for proper airflow throughout the cover which in turn can cause mold and mildew to form. If there is anything else that we can assist you with, please let us know.

there is some non organic materials in it. that is one of the only ways to make it a water proof cover. I have two of these covers. the outer/top layer is very think organic fabric. the inner, the part that comes incontact with the mattress is the non organic part. Overall I would recommend this product.
