Is it necessary to use a waterproof mattress cover with this mattress since the mattress itself is waterproof?

No you don't. I've never even bought a mattress protector cause all my son's toddler mattresses are the waterproof material. Just wipe clean in case of a accident. Until they're in a regular twin mattress, you really don't need the protectors.

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.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

It is safe and it is waterproof also. but I still recommend using a mattress pad and crib sheet. Nothing is too good for a precious newborn baby!tthing is

No it's not a plastic waterproof mattress but I will say it's a fantastic mattress. It is so comfortable & you could buy a protector for it for a reasonable price.

Yes. It's a mattress cover. It was a gift for my niece. Even the best diapers can leak. I got her two so that she was covered for leaks at 2 AM. It's quite a nice one. Waterproof. Quilted.

Yes, this is absolutely waterproof. My three old wets her bed regularly and it does not seep through to the mattress. I can guarantee that. We bought two, to have an extra to remake the bed. I am about the order more for my sons bed right now.

The mattress cover is waterproof, but the boxspring cover does not appear to be.

It is very thin and I don't even know it is there, it is supposed to be waterproof but I have not put that to the test. I bought it to protect my Memory Foam mattress against stains to protect the warranty. if you do get it prewash it but be sure to do only delicate and very low heat so not will not damage it. There is no padding for that would defeat the foams function. Hope this helps and I will be glad to answer any other questions that I can.

The cover is thin but very well made, and water proof, it should not in anyway inhibit the mattress..

This has a waterproof cover on one side, but we used another waterproof cover on top of it to protect our investment (just in case). We have used it at times without the cover and we have not had any leaks go through, so you could probably do without the cover with no problem.

Yes it is truly waterproof but I always use a mattress protector in addition. I think it is more pleasant for the baby to lay on a mattress with a protector and a sheet. Also it is easy to whip off the protector if there is an accident, wipe off the mattress and put on the spare...I would use a mattress protector even if it was a second or third baby :)

My pack and play mattress has a plastic cover so it is waterproof. The sheets are just padded a little to help the mattress not be so hard.

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.

No. The water-proof material is in the middle of the soft covering on both top and bottom. It would be easily hand washed in the kitchen sink. It has worked wonderfully for my young daughters mattress even on nights when large accidents occur. The mattress has stayed completely dry.

You need a cover or it will get dirty. I use a waterproof pad over it (but under the cover) also because it doesn't have a water barrier.
