Encasement Waterproof Hypoallergenic Breathable Protector Reviews Summary

Waterproofing

Pros:

• "This protected a Mattress through hurricane Sally. Water poured in through the roof... This protected our 1300.00 mattress!"
• "Liquid will pool for an impressive amount of time."
• "Incredibly, this mattress protector did its job and my mattress underneath was absolutely pristine."
• "I’ve read some reviews that claim it isn’t water proof AT ALL... the bed was completely dry."
• "This is truly waterproof. One of my main concerns was based on some of the reviews that said the water eventually leaks through. Before I put this on my mattress, I poured some water on the surface with a towel underneath. After 4 hours, still no water seeped through."
• "I purposely spilled some water and it didn't pass to the mattress."
• "It is definitely waterproof, and withstands our Main Coon cat’s incessant kneading."

Cons:

• "This bed cover was not waterproof. Liquid leaked through every time."
• "Unfortunately my cat decided to use it today to pee on and it went right thru the cover onto my mattress."
• "The title of the product is 'waterproof.' We put it on our bed, our kid wet the bed, and now the whole mattress reeks of urine."
• "Pee went straight through the “waterproof” fabric."
• "It is not 100% waterproof as it claims… a bit too much to drink before bed led to some liquids seeped through."
• "This mattress protector is a joke. A bad one. It’s is not waterproof at all."
• "I bought this for my brand new mattress knowing full well that if my cat gets into my room, she likes to piss on my bed.Well, she pissed on my bed for the first time today, and with my luck, the urine got through my sheet AND this mattress “protector”."

Fit and Ease of Installation

Pros:

• "I've struggled to get a good mattress cover that fits, but this really did the trick."
• "Easy to take on and off, it actually has some space between mattress and cover."
• "They fit perfectly, & we're semi-easy to install."
• "It fit with ease and I had no problems putting it on and zipping it up with my teenage boy."
• "Not sure why so many people gave reviews that said it was so hard to put on. I just did it alone and had no issues at all."
• "This was so easy to put on. I was worried I would have trouble doing it by myself, but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked that the exterior material was soft and it’s definitely waterproof."
• "Not difficult to put on the mattress. 1 person did it alone for a full size mattress."

Cons:

• "Right out of the package, I noticed that it is very cheap. There is no padding and the material is very thin."
• "So, my hard lesson learned from this mattress cover is that if it doesn't advertise itself as quite, it will be SO LOUD."
• "Like any encased mattress cover, it’s a pain to put."
• "We have a California King-sized mattress, and getting the encasement onto it was quite an endeavor."
• "It’s like laying on a body bag, even with some the most comfortable micro fiber sheets on it, I was waiting for a medical examiner to zip up a zipper over my head and take me to the cooler."
• "In order to even try to get it on a queen mattress, you have to be able to pick up the whole mattress."
• "It wasn't very easy for 1 person to put on so I suggest 2 ppl."

• "This product arrived in a timely manner, well packaged, and good quality."
• "Material is soft and not at all like some of the cheap thick plastic options."
• "The material this is made of, is very nice - soft and pliable."
• "I like the way it felt, the ease at which I was able to put it on my mattress.I tested it for water resistance and it seems to have past that test."

Cons:

• "Its also VERY cheaply made."
• "Horrible uncomfortable material, didn't help keep the pests away."
• "The fabric on it is NOT soft at all. It is NOT breathable like it says."
• "This mattress protector is a joke. A bad one. It’s is not waterproof at all."
