AmazonBasics Fully Encased Waterproof Mattress Protector Reviews Summary

Waterproofing

Pros:

• "Works as intended. I did not purchase the mattress for spillage protection, but not one drop of coffee made it into/on my mattress!"
• "Definitely repels liquid well, at least, as my mattress is still intact after the myriad of spills a rogue toddler subjected it to."
• "I’ve had this cover for over 2 years now. I got it to protect my mattress from blood during shark week and from my dog who sleeps with me and occasionally throws up or tinkles a little in her dream in my bed."
• "This is a great mattress cover at a great price. I bought it to protect my new mattress because I often drink a glass of wine while in bed reading. Sure enough, I spilled it on the bed. I took off the sheet and cover and the mattress was bone dry! Perfect!"
• "THIS THE ONLY MATRESS COVER THAT IS TRULY WATER PROOF!!! NOTHING WENT THROUGH TO MY MATTRESS."
• "Spilled coffee in bed one day, never soaked through to my white mattress."
• "So far my dog peed on it and it didn't touch the mattress."

Cons:

• "I paid a little over $21 for this mattress cover from Amazon. The description states waterproof. It is not."
• "I specifically purchased this cover because we just purchased a brand new, very expensive mattress for ourselves and our toddler who sleeps with us currently. She wet the bed and this cover didn’t help."
• "This item is horrible and is NOT WATER PROOF."
• "IT IS NOT WATER PROOF.I am currently tring to remove the cat pee and smell out of my new mattress."
• "This cover is NOT water proof. I was very disappointed when my toddler peed the bed with this on and the mattress still got soaked with pee! Do not buy!"
• "This 'waterproof' cover isn’t waterproof at all like it states."
• "This mattress cover does NOT protect against liquid. I took it off of my mattress to clean it and found that stains and spills were seeping right through."

Fit and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "The best thing about this is how big it actually is."
• "Easy to put on even with having a memory foam topper on top of the mattress."
• "I purchased the 9 inch which is a perfect fit for my bed in a box memory foam mattress."
• "Easy to put on the bed and fits queen pillow top well."
• "Bought this for my son’s floor bed which is a futon mattress, was worried the double wouldn’t fit but the queen would be too big — the double fits perfectly!"
• "Perfect size for my boxed spring which is what I bought it for. Easy to put on, zipper closure."
• "I bought the queen size 9” option. I was easily able to put it on myself."

Cons:

• "BUT the zipper part split and stitches unraveled."
• "It is quite a bear to get on the mattress."
• "It took an act of the gods and the sheer rage only a woman who is determined not to ask for help can have to get this on my 18” mattress."
• "The zipper had no stopper on one end so as I went to unzip it, the zipper pull came right off and I can't seem to make it go back on."
• "Sent back as it has a zipper all around. You would need to put the mattress inside the cover and then zip up, too hard."
• "This is a great item except for one major flaw: the twin mattress cover I received only had the zipper on one side."
• "The second I went to zip up the cover after putting it on the mattress, the zipper came right off. Also, I texted it with water spilling and it soaked through."

Comfort and Noise

Pros:

• "Amazingly soft and doesn't make any noise while sleeping and moving around."
• "It doesn't make noise when moving around nor does it make the mattress feel wonky."
• "I was worried it would be crinkly sounding but it’s soft and not crinkly."
• "No plastic feel or noise."
• "Soft and sturdy."
• "This case is not plastic-y, so it doesn't make noises, or slip and slide around."
• "A little 'crinkly' at first, but after a wash and a couple nights sleep it quiets down considerably."

Cons:

• "I barely took this protector out of the bag, and I could tell how terrible the quality is."
• "Very thin and shiny, not the best quality in terms of feel."
• "This thing is noisy! I was so disappointed with how plasticky it sounds on our bed."
• "The material feels like plastic - fitted sheets slip off because of this too."
• "It’s a little noisy when getting in and out of bed, not too noticeable when moving in sleep."
• "It is a little bit noisy when rolling around on the bed (like plastic noise) but not bothersome."
• "Since this wraps the entire mattress it creates air pockets which feels weird to sleep on and it’s a little noisy."
