Is the material the same on the top and on the bottom of the mattress? And can it be slept on either side or does one side have a more durable cover?

Same material on both sides. Sleep on either side for the same experience. It is amazingly/surprisingly comfortable - not just my review, but according to multiple guests who have used it!

It has a zipper on both sides, but not along the bottom. It is really big on its own though. My partner and child and myself all slept in it comfortably.

The sides are cotton. While it looks a bit like mesh, it is a tight weave so it is not as likely that your fingers would rip through the material when you stretch it over the mattress (as was the case in my previous, cheaper cover). It has the quality you would expect from a hundred dollar mattress cover.

the cover that comes with the bed is very durable. the bed is aloes extremely durable. I highly recommend this product.

The side material is stretchy. It would allow you to put it over either a thin mattress or a double thick mattress, as there is also a middle elastic on top of the regular bottom edge elastic.

The mattress has a zip on-zip off washable cover on on it. I may in the future buy an additional cover for the mattress because I have a dog.

I saw the negative reviews as well before we purchased, but our Pediatrician (w/o making a brand recommendation) highly suggested we go with a mattress on the firmer side. Our four month old at the time took to it immediately and is still sleeping soundly on it today. We have rotated the mattress, because it has given in slightly over the time. I hope this helps!

The bed is firm; yet the top temperpedic layer gives a nice little cushion; not super soft where you fall in, just a tiny bit of "give". You cannot use both sides of the mattress; it is only padded on the usable side & the "fabric" on the bottom side is not suitable for sleeping.

This is a mattress. One side is for infants and the other side is for toddler stage.

Pillow Top on one side only - you could flip it, but I would recomend a feather bed coverlet 2-inches thick or better or something like it. It could possibly extend the useful life of this matress for many more years. I have gotten two of these mattresses for my teenage granddaughters and they both love them, and say they are very comfortable to sleep on.

One side is memory foam, the other is just dense foam. If you push your hand into it and the imprint stays there a little bit before rebounding, you have it right side up. On the queen, that would be the blue side. PS, the loose cover that ties on is only meant to keep the mattress clean during shipping/moving.

This is perry thin, and just cotton, so it is pretty firm. I also have mine directly on the floor, but I've also got a 2" memory foam layer on top. With the MF, it's not too bad for side sleeping.

It is a two sided cover...top is more of a light canvas that lays flat very nice and the inside is a nice soft material that is more sheet like in texture. My down fits perfectly in it and the buttons do hold it together quite well. The canvas is not scratchy and softened up a bit more after a wash. Personally, I like the way the heavy material lays on the bed for a crisp look.

I used a regular mattress on the top and bottom. But it does not have to be so for the bottom. it is just a matter of personal preference.

one side has synthetic material which always tends to heat up and irritate me. I returned the pillow before I ever slept on it for that reason. I thought it was all memory foam.

I wasn't aware there's a difference in the sides. They both look the same. We're planning on flipping the infant mattress every 6 or so months, at New Year's and the Fourth of July, as we do with our own mattresses.

It's flat on one side and slightly rounded on the other. I sleep in mine and can sometimes feel it if I'm on my side, but I can just adjust the alignment.
