American Baby Waterproof Quilt Like Protective Reviews Summary

Waterproof Quality

Pros:

• "Certainly lives up to expectations in terms of quality and being so waterproof. It's a great alternative to buying a new waterproof mattress."

• "I love this Matress protection, it fits perfectly, and good material it’s everything I wanted to protect my baby’s crib Matress."
• "We love these pads. They are absolutely waterproof and wash great."
• "Never once (when it was actually on the bed) has it failed to protect the mattress from pee accidents or drink spills."
• "I have been so pleased with this cover. I have had no issues with it letting liquids thru onto the mattress below even with frequent washings."
• "Loved this for my daughter’s mini crib! Fit perfectly and during a diaper change… we did in fact find out it’s DEFINITELY waterproof."

Cons:

• "THESE ARE NOT WATERPROOF!!!! THESE ARE NOT EVEN MOISTURE RESISTANT!!!!!!!"
• "It is not waterproof, perhaps water resistant?? Anyway, the baby went down and his diapy leaked and it went straight through his sheet and this 'waterproof' cover underneath."
• "This says waterproof yet the first time my son peed in his bed it soaked right through and right onto his mattress."
• "I bought these almost 3 years ago when I had my daughter and never had any issues but now that we’re potty training they are NOT waterproof."
• "Totally worthless - they were absolutely not waterproof and urine soaked right though one fitted sheet and mattress pad, down to the fitted sheet and mattress pad underneath with the mattress underneath wet."
• "This is NOT waterproof. We use crib beds as dog beds and our female has bladder issues. This soaks right through to the mattress."

• "It is padded and fits well around the mattress."
• "They fit the crib mattress wonderfully and they aren't so thick that the second layer was hard to put on."

Cons:

• "This mini mattress cover was not great. It is very stiff and small it didn’t fit my mini mattress well at all."
• "It’s probably the cheapest made cover I’ve bought."

Cons:

• "But for me the issue is the smell.. it's awful, even after the wash."
• "It arrived smelling very strongly like chemicals, and washing doesn’t make it go away."

Durability and Maintenance

Pros:

• "I’ve been using it almost 2 and a half years now and never once has it failed to protect the mattress."
• "Easy to clean."
• "Very soft and easy to wash and put over crib mattress! It also doesn’t make that annoying crinkle noise other waterproof mattress covers make."

• "Easy to wash and dry and a great fit for standard crib mattress."

Cons:

• "I have hardly had to take this slip cover off, maybe once, since purchase. Tried to take it off the other day and the zipper slipped right off of the track because there is nothing to stop it from doing so!!!"
• "I’m so sick of made up reviews or products that are completely different but listed under the same listing as before it was changed. These are total crap."
• "I bought these for an upcoming baby granddaughter visit. They are not the worst mattress protectors I've ever used but they certainly are not the best quality."
• "I purchased 4 of these for my kids cribs/ toddler beds. It has been about 6 months and I didn’t know until yesterday that they are NOT waterproof."
• "Fell apart and pilled up in the wash. Cheap, do not buy."

• "Product pictured was quilted/padded as well as description. Received product that was not quilted and just a very thin layer of waterproof crib material."
