Great protection

If you have ever had unwanted guest and want a good night rest than you need this mattress cover, it's a little bit big but so worth it and comfortable, great quality.

Did not work for my memory foam mattress

Although the quality was really good it did not work good with my memory foam mattress. Air would get trapped and caused my sheets to come off the bed. This is a great quality product and would recommend for a regular mattress

Seem good so far

We just bought new beds and I'm counting on these covers to keep them safe! They seem sturdy and the covering is soft. The odd thing is that I ordered two at the same time and they're not the same. The material is different and one is slightly fuller than the other. They both seems good so I guess I don't care but that's why I gave them a "4".

A bit larger than expected

Nice product but switched out due to queen size was a bit big for even my 18" mattress. Although the wrinkles didn't really present a problem noise wise or feeling them through the sheets.

Comfy mattress protector

The mattress protector is easy to get on and off, even though it encades the mattress. It fits our mattress perfectly, with a little extra room. It's also very comfortable, and while it is pretty quiet, it can be noticable at times. It's also 100% waterproof!

Fit my king size double-mattress setup with room to spare!

It was quite easy to put my two mattresses into this encasement. I even had some material left over, so the fit/size is more than sufficient. The zipper is easy to use and functional (does not get stuck), providing a convenient and easy way to keep the cover from sliding off during use. The cover is comfortable and does NOT cause scratching or skin irritation. However, it's not very competitively priced compared to other items on Amazon, so only get it if you really need something with a zipper for strong retention.

Peace of mind

This mattress cover is not scratchy or plasticy like I assumed it would be. It is a little stiffer than cotton and you definitely want at least a fitted sheet over the top of it, but I can't imagine anyone would be planning to sleep directly on it. With just a fitted sheet over it, I'm comfortable in bed and don't feel like I need to put another layer of mattress pad between as I assumed I would. They definitely do a good job creating a barrier between the inside and outside of your mattress. I have a pretty extreme sensitivity to breathing dust or any sorts of particles, aerosols, or strong smells and this helps a lot. I'm still sort of working out what triggers my allergy/sensitivity. So I put an air filter by my bed because I always get stuffed up when I get in bed. The air filter has an air quality sensor and when I sat down on the bed without the cover, the air displaced from the mattress caused spike on the air quality sensor and kicks up my allergies. With the cover on the mattress, that does not happen. After that experiment, I immediately bought a new mattress, put it inside this mattress encasement and my sleep and wellbeing have improved a lot. I got the pillow cases, too, and the combo really helps. I can't really speak to how it'll hold up long-term because I've only had it a couple weeks, but if gives me a lot of peace of mind that my mattress will hopefully be staying perfectly clean with no dust inside it.

Great value and quality

Super nice, feels like it's making a difference

Packaged really nicely and shipped quick. This was super easy to put on our queen mattress. We have a euro top so it's a bit deep and this has room to spare. It's easy to zip. It just feels clean, if that makes sense. So far I feel like this is a protection for us instead of our mattress (though it is also protecting our mattress, too.) Not that our mattress was dirty, but they gather dust and flakes and mites as the years go on. I feel like we are protected from that. When we crawled into bed we both said, "wow, this feels nice!" It's actually quite comfortable. I also don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but I simultaneously got a new pillow and every night my nose was stuffed and then in the morning when I got up, it would disappear, but I don't seem to have that problem anymore. This is a huge undertaking for me! I cannot speak to the waterproof or leak resistance claim but I do appreciate that it is oeko-Tex certified. I don't see that stated anywhere in the description but it was on the bag it was packaged in.

Plenty of room to accommodate mattress toppers

I bought this one, in part, because so many reviews said it was big. And I have about 4-5 inches of foam topper. Plus, it's a king topper on a queen bed so it goes over both sides of the mattress for a plush look. This encasement fits and there is still room for me to add thicker toppers which I do want to do. I also found this one to have the best zipper. There are no gaps, it almost disappears when closed. The one thing I don't like is the weird loop at the end that, I guess, is supposed to loop around the zipper pull to keep it closed? It doesn't stay so I feel that part of the design could be better. Before zipping entirely, try to push out some air just so it isn't puffing up. I love the feel of it, not plastic feeling. I haven't slept on it yet but so far I'm happy.

Great bed cover

These protect-a-bed zippered mattress covers are just as they state. They unzip so you can easily fit them over your mattress (although this is never an easy task, this does make it much easier). I don't have a picture of it on the bed (yet), but will upload as soon as I change out everything again. I can't really attest to whether or not it keeps bed bugs or dust mites away because we don't currently have them, hopefully some other reviewers may have had an experience with that and can add insight. But for a protective bed cover, these work, look, and feel great!! For the price point, if they do what they say then they're worth it.

Great mattress protector!

This was perfect for my son's bed! He has terrible allergies, and this has helped him a lot at night. Really easy to put on. Definitely a great purchase for the price!

High Quality

This waterproof mattress protector is very well made and fits mattresses up to 18 inches thick. The zipper is thick and sturdy, going all the way around the mattress. Made from a soft polyester knit, it's quiet and not squeaky when you sleep on it, and it doesn't change the feel of the mattress at all. Excellent for protecting against spills, bugs, and allergens. It is a bit pricey, but the quality makes it worth it. Make sure you have someone to help you put it on because it is definitely a two person job.

Holds up to spills without a problem, quiet to sleep on, comfortable

I've used this zippered mattress case (King Sz) for awhile now and I like it. My take across the essentials are: Weight & Feel / Comfort It's lightweight and is not intrusive to comfort. The case fits snugly without feeling bulky or padded, so it doesn't change the feel of the mattress. I sleep on it every night and haven't noticed any extra heat or stiffness. Sound / Noise This is a big plus: it's essentially silent. No crinkling or squeaking when you shift positions. That's a must for me (I hate noisy sheets), so this does the trick. Durability / Construction Seems to be top notch. The zippers are sturdy, the stitching feels solid, and the material itself is pretty rugged but still feels soft to the touch. I've washed it already (on gentle cycle in cold water) and it came out great. No fraying seems or zipper issues. Waterproof & Protection It does its job. I tested it with a bit of water and nothing leaked through. It seals six sides, so the mattress is wrapped really well. If you want protection against dust mites, bed bugs, accidents, allergens, etc., this mattress case should give you some peace of mind. Fit & Usability It's designed for 11"–18" mattresses, and I have a 14" thick one. It zipped on smoothly and held tight. No slipping or bunching during the night. Also, that full zip means it's easy to put on or take off compared to partial covers. Value For the protection and functionality, it's worth it. Quality material and stitching, reliable protection, and durability, I don't think this is a throwaway cover. Overall I like the comfort and was surprised by how well built this cover is. It covers the bases for why you'd get one of these, so I can definitely recommend.

Really nice mattress cover.

Really nice quality mattress cover. The weave is very tight yet soft. It fit great on my queen size bed. I have a 16" mattress. The zipper runs smoothly and was easy to put on. Bright white, very clean lines.

Guard of Dreams

This zippered mattress encasement feels like armor for the bed. The fabric is smooth and breathable, yet it seals completely against dust, mites, and whatever else tries to invade your sleep. The zipper feels strong and runs easily without catching or fraying. It fits snugly around the mattress and does not shift, even with movement during the night. I like that it adds a slight softness to the bed without changing the feel of the mattress underneath. It is easy to clean, and it dries fast after washing. It gives that satisfying sense of protection and freshness, like you have drawn a barrier between yourself and the chaos of the world. Sleep feels a little safer knowing it is there.

Reversed zipper, easy to put on, accommodating fit

Soft material, openings on two ends makes it easy to put on. It has elastic corners that can fit a range of mattress thickness/heights. For a slim mattress, the elastic will also help to hold shape of the cover when on the bed. Good quality. I like that the zipper is reversed so that the smooth side is outward facing. Will update on stain resistance and mattresses dryness.

Pricey, larger zippered area, suitable for thick mattresses

I have always used dust mite protective covers for my mattresses. This one is a little bit different than most of the ones which I have used in the past. The main positive difference is that the zippered area is a larger proportion of the cover. It zips totally on one short side and to about 2/3rds of the way on each of the long sides. Although I still needed a helper to get the case onto the queen size bed, that extra zippered area is helpful. The encasement is definitely made so it can go onto a pretty thick mattress. The mattress which I put this cover on is 15" thick and there was plenty of extra material--enough so that it was a bit annoying, although when putting on a fitted sheet, the extra material can be tucked underneath so it isn't flopping around as much. Should I have a super thick mattress I would probably be thankful for that extra material, but having a more standard height mattress, I wasn't as happy with the extra material. Before putting it on the bed, I did wash and dry the encasement. It washed up well, looking as good after as before. The main con is the price. Granted, there is the larger zippered area, which is very nice, but at almost twice the price as an encasement which is almost the same in all other ways, that extra price just wouldn't be worth it to me normally.

The Perfect Mattress Protector — Look No Further!

This mattress cover works beautifully! It fit my king-size mattress perfectly. It's fully waterproof but doesn't make that crinkly noise when you move, unlike other mattress protectors. Installation is definitely a two-person job since you need to lift the mattress, but this encasement made the process easier thanks to its generous fit. The zipper glides smoothly with no issues, and the overall quality is excellent for the price. I also love that it helps keep my mattress allergen-free — a big plus since I suffer from allergies. Overall, I'm very impressed with this mattress protector and highly recommend it!

Nice Protector, A Bit Pricey

This cover is of quality construction. It is spacious. It's soft and lightweight. One side is fabric and the other more plastic-like, which contributes to waterproofing. The zipper moves freely. We put it on our King guest bed, which has a traditional-sized king mattress. There was plenty of room to spare, so I'm sure it would fit an 18" deep mattress or perhaps larger. The installation was pretty easy; the only issue was the weight of the mattress itself. It was a bit more difficult to fit my current sheets over the mattress cover with the extra fabric. I'm comfortable that it will provide the protection advertised. I don't hear any noise when sitting on it or moving around on it. I do think it's a bit expensive for what it is. That's the only downside.
