DON'T BUY
A slip on protector or it will just slip off. Also do you know how hard it is to take off a mattress protector? If you have ever done it then you know how hard it can be. If you haven't done it then save yourself the trouble and buy this.
I am buying everyone in my family one of these for xmas. There should not be a bed without one.
***UPDATE*** It's been 6 weeks and I do have 1 complaint now. This cover has made the bottom of my mattress very slick. Due to this my mattress keeps sliding down the boxspring and my pillows fall down the back between my headboard and mattress. I have tried a few remedies, but so far nothing has worked. If I find something I will update it here.
Besides that problem I still LOVE this protector.
****UPDATE****It has been 8 months. I purchased a new bed frame with a foot board and no longer have a problem. I did not buy the frame because of this problem, but when I was buying one it definitely was in my mind to have a nice stable foot board.
Oh and as far as the protector in general. It has been over 8 months now, and It still works great. Only thing I like even more is the pillow protectors also sold by Malouf. They have no problems and are a must have. I would give them 6 stars if I couldThis mattress protector is a must buy if you want to protect the warranty on your mattress. About 3 weeks ago I bought a new Simmons Black edition Natasha mattress. This mattress has a 20 year warranty on it but the salesman showed me where the warranty basically states that if the mattress is soiled or stained with anything, even water, then the warranty is voided. So, since I just spent more than $3,000 on my mattress I thought it's probably a good idea to protect it; especially if it is going to be around for 20 years. The sales guy recommended that I purchase their cheap looking plastic mattress protector for more than $175 but that seemed high so I went home and shopped amazon. That's when I found this Sleep Tite ENCASE Mattress Protector. The thing I really like about this mattress protector is that it has 6 sides with a zipper meaning that it's not going to slip off like sheets are sometimes known to do. I also like how this feature allows the protector to completely cover the mattress protecting it from every angle, even the sides. The other reason I bought this protector is that it has a polyester surface so it feels like cloth and not plastic. So far the mattress protector has been everything I expected. The price was great and the quality it really high. It was a breeze to install and once I put my sheet back on the mattress I almost can't tell that the protector is even on the bed. One other important thing to me was that the protector be breathable. I live in North Carolina where we have hot and humid summers. This last week it's been in the 80's with 70% humity but since the protector is such high quality breathabilty hasn't been an issue. The bed stays cool and comfortable. One last thing that probably isn't thought about but the protector is really quiet compared to my babies cover on her crib mattress. So, I like that feature. Over all I think this matress protector is a great purchase, I would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially if want to protect your mattresses warranty.This is the first mattress protector I've bought so I can't draw any comparisons, nor have I spilled anything on it yet so I can't speak for how reliable it is. But it was easy to put on, completely covers your mattress, and the zipper in the middle makes it easy to remove the top half for cleaning without needing to move the entire mattress around. It also doesn't make any noise or get hot so you don't even notice it's there. The price was great when I ordered it, although I see the current price has gone up by a lot.Seriously.. this mattress protector is a MUST have! I have never owned one before and while I was mattress shopping, I decided that it would be a good idea to protect my new investment. I went to several high end mattress stores in the Northeast (Sleepys, Cardis, Mattress King, etc) and checked out the mattress covers that they sold. They were all a minimum of $100 and, honestly, they were NEAR as nice as this one. This protector has a zipper that goes all the way around your mattress (around the side). You unzip it, slide the bottom underneath your mattress, put the top on top, and zip it up! It is waterproof, mite-proof and it's really nice and soft! Best of all, it is really roomy! I was really skeptical when i read that it was 20" deep i thought "no way"that can't be right. But, I just bought a 10" mattress and a 3" topper and they both fit with a bunch of room left. I'm pretty confident that you could fit both a box spring & mattress in one encasement if you wanted to. For the price, you cant beat this deal.. i'm absolultely thrilled with my purchase and I plan to buy one for every bed in the house!We had a slight problem with bed bugs... I have children with asthma so chemicals were out of the question. We cleaned and vacuumed and put these mattress covers on and no more bed bug bites. Now we can really sleep tight and not let the bed bugs bite. I only had a problem with the one purchased for the twin sized bed. I have to send that one back. They only sell a super twin which is too big for my sons regular twin sized mattress. But if I find one of the same brand that will fit his bed I definitely will buy. Great product!
