Product Overview
The Utopia Bedding Waterproof Mattress Protector protects mattresses from accidental or intentional damage such as spills, sweat, accidents, and day-to-day moisture using a soft-sleeping surface. The protector has a fitted sheet design which fits over the mattress and remains securely attached via the elasticized edges of the protector.
A soft terry-type material is used on the upper side of the protector; and a waterproof backing is utilized to prevent liquids from penetrating through to the mattress. Due to its machine-washable properties, this protector makes maintenance much easier compared to having to clean the mattress itself after an accident.
Customers Say

The most frequent praises for the protector are from parents who use them for pets, people who experience occasional spills, etc. as they feel the protector provides good waterproofing protection. These consumers often state that when properly cleaned following manufacturer wash/dry instructions and fitting properly the protector keeps there mattresses dry during those everyday accidents.
Some of the negative comments include that some consumers feel warmer while sleeping due to the protector, some consumers experience the protector moving around on their extremely thick mattresses, and the overall water proof capabilities of the protector will decrease if the backer material has been exposed to extreme heat during washing/drying.
