There is a cover with a zipper, but I don't think you'd want to try to remove it. I've had 2 of these mattresses for 3.5 years and they are in perfect condition. If you want extra covering on the mattress that is washable I would suggest a thin mattress cover.

I'm envisioning you thinking of some kind of wooden covering! It's a very nice removable, soft and washable cover so the mattress stays clean. If you need a waterproof mattress cover for some reason I suppose you'll just have to buy one separately.

This product doesn't have a zipper so the mattress isn't completely sealed. The sheets won't slip off of the product. This is 100% waterproof with a urethane membrane on the inside of the product. If the urethane membrane is damaged in any way this product will no longer be 100% waterproof. National Allergy

We have a heated mattress pad so this is on top and the waterproof on the bottom. Hope this helps.

yes, the cover I have is waterproof, I would think you have a defective cover

It's not a separate cover - I use a waterproof mattress pad over the mattress.

No it's not. It's cloth and can be washed with care. But if it got very wet, the mattress would get wet, too.

It's waterproof. I've also found that changing table mattress covers work great as a cover too.

No, I'm pretty sure the cover is not waterproof but it immediately made a difference sleeping and waking up ache and pain free.

I would definitely recommend the mattress cover even though the mattress is waterproof. In fact, I would get 2 of them; one to wash and one to use. You don't want the mattress smelling like pee for one, and it definitely will if you don't. It will also just be a lot cleaner. I'm all about making less of a mess if I can to have less to clean since there is already so much other cleaning that cannot be avoided. And pee is the cleanest thing that can end up on the mattress! I like to use peroxide in a spray bottle with paper towels when I do clean a waterproof mattress. I like that it doesn't smell and does a good job cleaning. I think it's a safer cleaner compared to say a Clorox wipe. I would recommend the flat one, instead of the fitted, so it will be easier to change. Or if your mattress isn't too heavy, it's really no big deal just to take the entire mattress out to change it so in that case the fitted would be fine too. (But then you have to take the crib bumper off. I actually took mine off since I got tired of taking it off and on all of the time.) Hopefully you have a Naturepedic mattress or other brand that doesn't use fire retardant chemicals to pass the flammability test. I've even read on a natural health doctor's website that when the pee, or other bodily fluids, mix with the fire retardant chemicals, it has a chemical reaction that makes an odorless gas that can cause SIDS.

I put a waterproof mattress pad on this mattress cause the mattress has a fabric covering and I didn't want it to stain

the cover is not separate. I did not get another waterproof cover, I did get an organic cover just to keep the mattress and to create a softer padding.

Our daughter has used this mattress for four months (she is now 10 months). We do not use a waterproof pad, just a sheet. If there is ever anything wet on her sheets (formula, urine, etc) you can just use a washcloth. It has a very durable vinyl cover in my opinion.

the one I bought does not come with a cover but that was not a problem...I used the fitted mattress pad I already had .

It is like a traditional fitted sheet. Only the part that covers the top of the mattress is waterproof

As far as I know this is not waterproof. Machine washable. You would have to get a mattress pad that had a waterproof lining
