do you put a sheet over the mattress?

Yes. And you can use a mattress pad also for insulation. The gel makes the bed very comfortable.

Yes, I do with my grandma since she spends alot of time in bed. I use a soft thin sheet and a draw pad. The mattress has been great for pressure relief for her. Skin remains intact.

Yes..I first put a mattress pad over the mattress before I put the gel foam on and then put a fitted flannel sheet on top. My 90 year old mom loves it :)

You can put the fitted sheet over it if your mattress is not super thick- mine is new so it is too big for the sheets to fit well with the topper on it. I just kind of wrapped it in an extra flat sheet and it sits on my mattress and fitted sheet. It is really comfy!

You put the topper on your mattress then your fitted sheet over it. That's all some people do. For additional protection from soiling, if desired, you could put another sheet between the topper and your fitted sheet. - from Yes It's Organic

You'll want to use a bed sheet over the mattress protector. The top of the protector is relatively soft, but it would probably be more comfortable for the child to have a sheet over it.

Dont worry about buying extra sheets. A king sized pillowcase fits perfectly over the mattress.

No, it did not come with one. I put a mattress pad over it before laying the sheets on the bed.

We do not use sheets. Sometimes we lay down a receiving blanket to keep the baby cooler, but did not buy sheets for it.

No you have to put a sheet over it but my mom loves it she even has a blanket on top of it besides the sheet and lays on that and it still warms her bed nicely

It is designed to protect your mattress from wetness so my suggestion would be to not use it to sleep on but put a sheet on top as you normally would.

No; a fitted sheet has elastic corners to fit snugly around the bottom of the mattress.

If your sheet barely fits now and you want one sheet to cover both the topper AND your current mattress, I would suggest using a flat sheet and tucking it in around the entire mattress or get a set of deep pocket sheets. Another alternative is to just put your fitted sheet on the topper and tuck in the rest as you will be sleeping on that and not the regular mattress. Best wishes.

I did receive instructions with the ones I ordered. You will not see them under the mattress, however I am assume they are in a large X. They should keep your sheet in place just fine. I like them, they keep my sheet from bunching up.

Yes, and we use a waterproof mattress cover under the sheet too. The fabric isn't exactly luxurious.. it feels cheap, but it's fine for a kid, looks cute and has held up well through washings.

Yes, I always like to put something between the metal and the mattress. I used one of the thin pieces of foam. Works great.

Put this directly over your mattress, then place the fitted sheet over the mattress pad. Your gonna love it!

Yes, put a sheet over the entire topper but you will need the newer, "deep pocketed" fitted sheets.

I used regular sheets with no problem. I see no reason you could not use a regular "mattress cover" assuming that's the same thing as a mattress pad ie. something to protect the mattress itself.
