• "The fabric was lovely and soft, yet breathable."

Cons:

• "This is perfect fit for the port a crib mattress!"

Cons:

• "Amazon said this product was frequently bought with the Cosco play pen but it doesn’t even fit!"
• "This is bigger than the mattress I ordered, I will probably have to return it."
• "Despite the fact that this item appears when using search terms for pack n play mattress pad, it is too small for the specific product and crunches the mattress up."
• "Wish I would have listened to the reviews... this mattress pad cover is far too narrow/ small to fit either of our Pack N' Plays... disappointed."
• "I can never get this to fit on my Pack N Play correctly. It seems too narrow - the waterproof area does not cover the entire sleeping surface."
• "It didn't fit the playpen mattress even though I got the correct size, when I got it, it seemed a couple inches smaller, it was tight and squeezed the corners of the mattress."
• "Does not fit a pack and play. I could barely get it on (the actual padded part is about 5 inches too short all around)."

Washing and Care

Pros:

• "I just followed the washing directions on the package and washed it in cold water."
• "This was easily packable with our pack and play and machine washable."
• "They have washed well in the 3 months I’ve used them they still seem new."
• "I purchased two of these to fit my DaVinci Crescent 50 coil mattress and even after washing and normal drying they fit the fabric perfectly."
• "Poured water on it to test and it held up well."
• "I lined dried this and it worked just fine. :) Live in FL so there's plenty of sun and heat to dry my items."
• "Ordered this to go on a vacation with my newborn. Worked very well, fit the mattress perfectly. Made of soft, breatheable material."

Cons:

• "However, I washed and dried the pad (gentle cycle, low heat) before the first use and when I pulled it out of the dryer, the waterproof vinyl was melted and there were big holes in the vinyl, making it useless as a waterproof pad."
• "It fit the mattress but it did shrink even when washed according to the manufacture instructions on the tag."
• "The quality of this material seems very cheap and is not soft all, it’s very rough and scratchy."
• "Disappointed as I followed the washing instructions. I'll definitely be returning these."
• "Highly recommend use with mattress. Bed still remains firm but makes the bed so much more cozy and I wouldn't have a baby mattress without the waterproof cover."
• "Pad looks nice and fit our mattress well. We followed the washing instructions (Machine wash cold, hang dry): after the first wash, the waterproof backing developed a small tear, after the second wash, the tear got larger, and after the 3rd wash, the entire waterproof backing was shredded to bits."
• "Shrunk first wash - which was in cold water and dried on low heat."
