does it take care of the whole mattress with zipper?? is there a zipper for the whole thing?

There is no zipper on this item...I am admittedly slightly disappointed in this product. It holds a lot of heat and feels like you are sleeping on plastic bag regardless of how soft your mattress is

There is no zipper on mine, and I ordered the same item! I'll double-check but - Holy Smokes!!!

Sure, and I agree because this Malouf is just a common mattress cover with somewhat tighter sides although I do not have a thick, deep mattress so I don't know how it would work on those newer ones, either.

Thank you, Vivaldi. I guess I really excited about it because of the neat-looking packaging (box) and the number of comments about (over 500), with the overall rating being 4.5 stars. The queen size places at #1 in the mattress pad category. I think I will go with the Luna. Hard decision, but it looks from the number of (negative) comments that the Malouf Sleep Tite has waterproofing problems.

This is a simple fitted mattess pad, like any other we've bought for years, except it's packaged to be something grand - I call such "Packaged Deli" - outside looks fabulous but the product is marginal. I've had mine on for a couple of months, and it's very elastic - so I'd look at the measurements to just that; however, it's nothing special. It has a plastic backing so I have to put a thick cotton blanket under it or we perspire -- and I also have a down pad on directly on the mattress that caused no perspiration before we bought this product - and there is NO zipper. None, nada. Really, this isn't the first time Amazon's description has been incorrect -- granted they return them easily if that's the consumer's complaint, but it's out time, and treasurers that get screwed up. Just buy a fitted matress pad/protector (that's the term used on all of them now in the retail stores, but words are not everything, and all that glitters is not gold, as 'they' say.

Okay! I received mine, but there's no zipper on it. Did I misread this list serve?

It works like a fitted sheet; no zipper. Mine ripped within ~1 months; not made to last.

Yes, it has a zipper and seems removable for washing (both the seat cushion and seat itself have zippers). But, we have not yet tried to clean it - we've only had it a couple of weeks.

No, it does not have a zipper to remove the inside. It is stitched all the way around.

It seems this was the 1st question asked - (and answered by Deneve.) This is NOT a zippered cover; it has the elastic band that cinches under the mattress - like a fitted sheet I presume -not an encasement.

No, there is no zipper. It has an open slit on the back and covers the pillow completely. It stays on, it is very soft, and very well constructed.

There is no zipper on this cover...it is large enough to cover a full size sofa and then some. I put all of my loveseat cushions underneath it too on the sofa. I love it! It's heavy enough to protect and remain in place.

It does have a zipper and it appears to be removable thus being washable, but that foam is pretty dense and could be difficult to put back on.

This is a mattress cover, with no padding and no zipper. It is a protector for your mattress. It is very thin.....

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.

There isn't a zipper. I found it very hard to wash the whole bed, would really have to take it to a laundry mat with the size of it. I just cover it with a cheap, thin throw and wash that. It is much easier. That is the only drawback and I can see. My Cocker loves it so much it was worth it.

Super easy, it has a zipper all around the cover, once you put the cover base under the mattress you just zip the upper part.

The cover cannot be removed without opening a seam; there's no zipper. However, the entire bed can be thrown in the wash safely. I wash mine with the sheets, and throw it in the dryer, too. No problems so far.

It has no zip, only elastic rim. It encloses a mattress on all sides and reaches over the sides to the bottom quite reliable. I do not have need to readjust it.

It covers the mattress completely, it zippers on and off. It is pretty thin, but adequate to cover the mattress foam. We have mattress topper on top of that, and sheets and all fit fine.

It is applied like a fitted sheet. SafeRest also makes a zippered encasement, which encases the entire mattress. Please see the following amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=saferest+encasement

I did not have a problem with my zipper, BUT having said that it seems all zippers are those tiny plastic ones now and it you're going to take it off once in a while I think getting the 12" deep would be a good 'just in case' solution. Plus, if you got a new mattress at some point you'd probably get a deeper one so you would be a head of the game. At some point (a year from now maybe) I will wash mine in the gentle cycle with cold water to see if it's possible to do.
