American Baby Company Waterproof Protective Reviews Summary

Waterproof Quality

Pros:

• "These are a lifesaver! Buy 2 and stack them (mattress pad, sheet, mattress pad, sheet) and you will be thankful when those late night feedings lead to late night diaper leaks!"
• "Same quality if you bought it at the store. No complaints it fit perfect, absorbed all liquid and left mattress/carpet dry."
• "So far it fits well... and it’s waterproof."
• "Yes, its expensive, but it fits perfectly and nothing seeps through."
• "This thing is tested multiple times a night and still holds up after all that washing. Good construction and leak proof."
• "I can tell you first hand that it does the job as the first day we decided to try our baby with a nap in the crib, the baby had a blow out and it went all over the sheet and mattress protector and never got through to the mattress."
• "Loves the product... Several times the sheet was completely wet and the mattress was completely dry."

Cons:

• "While it is a waterproof sheet, it is very stiff and not padded."
• "It does not seem like it would be waterproof either. It feels really cheap."
• "Really like how water resistant the sheets are but they are very thick and not very soft."
• "It’s cotton material, cotton isn’t really waterproof."
• "This was awful. It’s not water proof at all... he has peed through his diaper twice, and both times it soaked through right to the mattress."
• "It’s not waterproof and barely water resistant. It will soak up drool spots, maybe a little from a leaky diaper, but once you have a toddler and potty training this does not work at all."
• "This matress pad is NOT WATERPROOF. Period."

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "This mattress protector fit perfectly. The dimensions given were very honest."
• "I was afraid this wouldn't fit my toddlers bed but it fit perfectly and made it softer."
• "Perfect as described. Buy 2 and put them on at the same time. If baby has accident you just take the top one off with little disruption in the night."
• "I got it for a mini crib mattress, it was too large, but it managed to fit and then covered by a mini crib sheet."
• "This is definitely the best mattress sheet I have ever purchased. The plastic part is inside, rather than on the end side of the sheet. It’s also much softer than most mattress protector pads."
• "Great fit on both heavy/thick and lightweight/thinner mattresses (we have both kinds)."
• "It fits our mini crib mattress perfectly."

Cons:

• "This does not fit baby or toddler crib mattress."
• "Item was much too deep for a standard Graco pack n’ play."
• "It is way too big for a graco pack and play and would not be safe to put a baby in."
• "This fitted sheet does not fit the pack and play mattress that comes with it."
• "They don’t fit the pack n play mattress - they are too small and cause the mattress to scrunch up, leaving a gap between the mattress and side of the pack and play."
• "It was supposed to go with the mattress for the convertible baby to toddler bed but it does not fit the mattress, it is too big."
• "This mattress pad does not fit my pack n play."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "Wanted to add a little comfort to daughter's pack & play thin mattress. Perfect fit and also purchased the soft chenille sheet from the same company."
• "Really soft feels sturdy and well made!"
• "The quality and thickness is good."
• "This is a very high-quality waterproof mattress pad!"
• "The material is soft and comfortable for the little one too!"
• "They wash really well and don’t sound like plastic."
• "These are a great value for the price!"

Cons:

• "I washed this (before first use) & the top fabric balled & pilled and looks absolutely terrible."
• "These, however, starting pilling immediately, and despite washing as instructed, they literally started falling apart within three weeks of purchase."
• "This is terrible quality. I washed it per the instructions and it came out a pilly mess."
• "It's full of stuffed after the first wash! Then with the other one it is according to the institutions but I do the same! is not soft for the baby."
• "I washed it right out of package, all according to instructions!!! It fuzzed up so bad, it ruined my new white lab coat I was washing with this cover!!!!"
• "This mattress cover comes apart and my grandson had pieces of it in his little fingers and in his mouth."
• "You have to be extra careful when washing them and make sure you HANG DRY or they’ll completely fall apart in the dryer."

Value and Convenience

Pros:

• "Mom Hack: buy 2-3: layer one crib protector, 1 sheet, 1 protector, 1 sheet: when baby leaks, blows out, or spits up in middle of the night, easy to rip off a layer of sheet and protector and worry about washing tomorrow."
• "This was better than I had expected. I actually bought it to go on my love seat couch in the living room."
• "Her regular sheet goes on top easily and she seems comfortable."
• "We have many different mattress protectors and this is by far my favorite. It holds up really well to repeated washings and fits the mattress nicely."
• "This mattress protector has been great I bought for my daughter's crib mattress and we still use it on her toddler bed 3 years later."
• "Great sheets! Used them for our first now using them for our second baby and three years later it’s still in great condition!!"
• "I bought 2 of the American Baby Company Waterproof Fitted Crib Mattress Pads when my baby was born and am still using the same 2 with my now almost 2 year old."

Cons:

• "Fine mattress but only lasts about 1 year before the surface material cracks and holes open."
• "It happened to one of the 2-I would return it if I could but I see it’s too late to return."
• "This is just one of those things you NEED to buy for your kids. This cover in particular has done a great job for the 2 years we've used it."
• "It would be unsafe to have my baby use this sheet since it is not fitted."
• "It’s so bad... I wish I could return them I bought 2 for my twin boys beds it’s so harsh not soft at all."
• "You get what you pay for. This cover makes my little one sweat while sleeping no matter how cool we keep his room."
• "I purchased this item from the seller for $37.19 from a baby registry for my sister. When the item arrived, I saw that the quality was very cheap-looking."
