Will this product protect from off-gassing from the mattress?

No. You'd need to get a zipper type enclosure around the whole mattress that allows air out but not chemicals. Something like a BabeSafe Cover (google it) would protect from off gassing.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. N. Barra's response is correct. To prevent off-gassing from a chemical-laden mattress, you need to completely seal it - so no air gets through at all.

It certainly puts a barrier down, but I don't think you could count it completely blocking the off-gassing. The manufacturer doesn't make that claim anyway.

No, not to my knowledge. It is also cool when sleeping on it, which I did not like.

no, place the topper directly under your fitted sheet. the protector would go on the bare mattress to protect it.

I have not noticed any "gas out" odors with this product. It did have a "new textile" smell from the plastic vacuum bag that it was packaged in. The plastic smell was gone in a day. Once the mattress expanded to full form there have been no problems with allergic reactions or gassy smells. The bamboo cover is very soft and nice to have under the sheet sets. The mattress also responses well to steam cleaning as I had a few spills on it from guests and children.

Yes, if the mattress is not blown up too firm, with a little squishing it will get through.

I have a king bed. The organic mattress pad does cover the mattress with elastic on the bottom of the side panels but doesn't fit it tightly as I would prefer. The fitted sheet on top of it does the job of pulling it closely.

I actually bought the cool shield mattress protector first since my toddler sneaks into our room at night & on many occasions has wet our bed, but I also have the mattress cover that came with the memory foam pad as well. It seems like overkill, but I don't want my mattress pad to get ruined & the cover they sent me helps the over heating I was having while sleeping on this & I'm not sure that alone would be enough protection against my toddler wetting the bed every other night! With all that plus a fitted sheet it does not affect the comfort whatsoever.

I had a super puffy goose down mattress cover on mine and I did not overheat. (But I did return it because it was so hard.)

Yes, or if you strech it on the sides, it will be move towards the bottom/under the mattress. There is no way to get around that, the top part is still good though, from my experience!

Yes - it completely seals the mattress up including a special closure around the end of the zipper. I have bought these for all of my mattresses and love it!

We used these on our old mattresses and didn't have the off-gassing of new mattresses, so I can't adequately answer.

The whole point of the gel is to keep it cool. So if you put a pad, you won't be directly on the mattress and it will defeat the point.

Correct, waterproof mattress protectors will produce chemical off-gassing. I put a large organic cotton towel down on top of wrap then fitted sheet on top of that. It does still "crinkle" a bit but baby love all things that crinkle.

I doubt it because it is just top shield. It does not zip up & encase the mattress. I have a foam mattress so I don't have to worry about them anyway.

I use it with those covers - they are a little big, bit it doesn't much matter because the elastic of the fitted cover pulls it tight. Then on my changing table, the mattress just fits in tight, so it hold the cover on perfectly well. I don't think it's so big that it's a worry at all, it looks good and won't slip off.

It does have the rubberized back but don't know if it would protect the mattress from a large amount of liquid.

If you use this product you need to be prepared to repair the holes that you will make while putting the mattress in the bag. Other than that it should keep the dirt off as it is plastic.

No, the design is stain resistance. Odor will continue being emitted from within the fabrics of the mattress.
