Dreamaway Waterproof Mattress Protector

I give this three stars not because of the quality, but because of the fit. I ordered the full size for my son's bed, and was disappointed that it did not fit. (Didn't even come close to fitting). I had to exchange for a queen, and that fits my FULL size mattress like a glove.

I would suggest save yourself the time and order the queen if you have a full bed

After opening the bag and seeing the volume, I was quite concerned that my fitted sheet would still fit over my mattress, but it actually fits better. It's much easier to make my bed now that I don't have to tuck in the fitted sheet along the sides of my bed. I am quite fond of that.

The fit of the protector itself is quite snug and the material/elastic on the sides is much higher quality than any other I've owned. I had to tug quite hard and never once did I think I would come close to ripping it.

There are two things I'm not so crazy about, but they are minor issues. First, washing is not a problem in my regular size machine, but drying is time consuming. I would suggest only washing this when it can be dried outside in the sun all day. There is one corner of the protector that seems to have more stuffing than the others. It took two drying cycles and hanging in the sun for four hours for that section to dry sufficiently. (I followed the directions on the care tag to stop the dryer and reposition the protector for even drying.) The other issue is that every time you turn in bed, it's a little noisy. But unless you are a very light sleeper like me, this should not affect your decision to purchase.

All in all, this is a nice quality mattress protector that adds a nice bit of poofiness to your bed.

The Pros

It's cheap

It's thicker, so there's a nice bit of cushion

it is waterproof, though I cleaned up the spill after a couple minutes (didn't let it soak through)

The Cons

It doesn't fit super deep mattress, it barely fit ours which is 17in (yes I know it says 15 but it's hard to find sheets that fit ours that isn't pricey)

It slides a bit after you put sheets on it, not horribly so, but noticeably

It's hotter than our previous mattress pad (though that one was thinner, although both were waterproof)

Bottom line, if you need a cheap waterproof mattress pad that has a bit of cushion to it I'd get it. I haven't left a stain on there past a couple minutes, and I haven't washed it yet, I will update when I do.

Update Oct 2012:

It washed fine, but it's much, hotter than my last mattress pad and sometimes moves with us in the middle of the night if it gets really hot. I think it'll be perfect for winter and fall, but for summer I'll be sticking with my thinner one.

This works perfect for my 2 year old in full blown potty training mode. It's smooth on the mattess without stretching too far, water absorbent, and washes well. So far, so good.

Soft, padded, and much better than the Serta one I paid much more for. It washes very well and doesn't make the lovely crinkly sounds of other waterproof mattress protector. Am getting them for all of the beds my 3 year old inserts himself in to.
