the pad fits perfectly even on thick mattresses. it is all elastic around the the entire pad. it is not pillow top, but works great over a mattress topper. i really recommend it.

Yes, the mattress pad was a little thinner than expected, but fits very nice on the mattress, does not slide around and provides nice cushion. I have washed it and it held its shape and thickness.

It does not. It fits like a fitted sheet. The corners are very generous and fit under the sheet by about 3-5 inches. Never had an issue with it coming off of the mattress.

This has large woven elasticized sides so it fits snugly around the mattress. I've never had any problem with slippage on the mattress or with the sheets on top of it. It washes beautifully and has held up well. This was a five star purchase!

I don't have measurements available. It's basically intended for a single bed. We used it for half a queen, it took up a little more than half the width of the queen. There are no straps. The material it is made from extends maybe 20" or more beyond the quilted, air mattress cells. This is tucked under the regular mattress and holds it in place. Hope this helps.

The way I do it is put the fitted sheet on the mattress then put one end of the strap on the elastic of the sheet on the top of the mattress, stretch it diagonally across (under the end of the mattress) and clip the other end of the strap to the elastic of the sheet on the side. If you are facing your mattress from the bottom the straps should form a triangle: the straps being the bottom and the two sides of the sheet's elastic the other two sides of the triangle. I know this might be hard to understand ( a picture would do it better) but I hope this helps!

My mattress is 12" deep. This pad fits over it and goes under the sides about an inch. I haven't had it long, but the material on the sides seems pretty thin, so I don't know how long it will hold up.

It fits around like a fitted sheet and the sides are super stretchy. We have ours around our mattress and a 6 inch foam piece.

It goes on like a fitted sheet. The pad portion covers the entire mattress. I imagine tightness depends on thickness of mattress. My daughter has an 8 inch mattress and it still fits well but would be tighter on a thicker mattress.

Mine is an older, thinner mattress, and it stays on fine...mine does not have a skirt. Perhaps that is a different product? But it does stay put.

I was having the same problem with my old one. This one does not slip. The sides are very deep so as to accommodate a thick, pillow-top mattress. The sides tuck way under the mattress, which is good. My pillow-top mattress isn't terribly plush anymore, so the pad doesn't "squeeze" the mattress or anything -- in fact, it's very easy to put on and off -- but it doesn't slip like my old one. After a week, I might have to readjust it slightly, but very, very little. My old one had to be readjusted every single day when I made the bed.

unfortunately I'm unable to answer the question. I ended up throwing it in the trash and bought a different one from Costco. The mattress pad you are referring to slipped and would not stay in place. I ended up buying a mattress pad with elastic sides that hold in place.

The link below is to a sheet that fits pretty well. It's not perfect because the sheet is for a rectangular bassinet but this bassinet pad is a little rounded. I think it works great. I use a waterproof pad between the bassinet pad and the sheet. My little guy goes a lot and we have had a lot of leaks trying to find a diaper that works. The bassinet pad is washable, which is nice.Carters Easy Fit Jersey Bassinet Fitted Sheet - Carters Easy Fit Jersey Bassinet Fitted Sheet, Sage (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Hi: I just measured my son's mattress as 52" X 72". I do not believe it is extra-long but am sending you the dimensions just in case. I do find it comfortable (as I've fallen asleep on it helping my little boy get back to sleep after a nightmare.) It feels like a soft canvas. The waterproof layer is in between layers of cotton, which gives it some stiffness. I cannot even feel it when I lie down on the bed, as it is designed to go underneath a fitted sheet, on top of the mattress. What I particularly liked about this cover are: 1) It is nontoxic and does not off-gass the smell of plastic 2) Although it is waterproof, it is encased in cotton, so it does not rustle or crinkle, nor is it sweaty at all. Other conventional "plastic" waterproof covers can make your child sweat and make noise every time you move. This one does not. 3) It is a affixed to the mattress with elastic loops at each of the 4 corners, so it will not shift. At first I wondered why it wasn't designed as a fitted sheet, but realized that would have added bulk to your bedding, as a fitted sheet also needs to go on top of it. The elastic loops at each corner make it quite easy to put on. 4) Durability. I have washed this pad at least once a month (I do not wash it each time I wash his sheets because, as it does not lie next to his skin, it stays quite clean, barring accidents.). It still looks brand new. It has weathered a couple of accidents, and isn't even stained. Just to clarify, although this is called a "mattress pad" it is NOT cushioned, and is not intended to be a padded mattress topper. It's sole function is to protect the mattress from liquid spills while being completely unobtrusive to the sleeper. I hope this helps. I've been quite pleased with the quality of this waterproof cover.

I have the same pad and have used it for 6 months. I have used it both laying on the bed with the pad under my shoulder, and while sitting on a chair. I place the pad over my shoulder, and using an elastic, I wrap the elastic around the pad with no problems.

It's hard to get on the bed but well worth it. It won't come off and the sheets fit right over it. Just make sure you measure the mattress height and that it's within the specified range for the pad, which is 11-18 inches.

My mattress is 15", and this pad is way big for it. Measuring with a yardstick while it's on the bed, it will fit at least an 18" mattress.
