Do you use a mattress pad with it? Any recommendations type/brand?

It is pretty firm. Costco carries quality pads. I would look for a pad with cooling gel otherwise it will get a little hot.

This mattress does not have any plushness to it, so you would definitely need a topper of some kind if you want to 'sink' into something or have a cozy feel.

We had one on our old bed, but didn't find it useful with this bed. Plus, the cool layer is really effective. This bed is a firm bed, which is exactly what I wanted. But i couldn't be happier, I've already owned a brand named version of this type mattress and they are indistinguishable except for the price. I would recommend not sleeping on it the first or second night, so it can expand fully.

Yes, I bought this mattress for my father and he wanted a mattress pad. I purchased this one off of Amazon and he's really happy. Newpoint Home Deluxe 250-Thread-Count Cotton Damask Stripe Queen Mattress Pad.

The mattress pad we use is just an inexpensive one we purchased at a bed & bath store.

Yes, I also have a soft, thin mattress cover protector, along with a sheet over it. It feels great !

You can use bedding and mattress pads. They probably mean not to cover the underside of the mattress where the pad goes.

I use a Babesafe Mattress wrap. Before that I used Carter's Keep Me Dry flannel mattress pads. They were perfect because they lay right on top and don't wrap around the edges. Now that the mattress is wrapped I don't use anything.

I had the same prob. The manufacturer suggested an extra mattress pad on top. I put two and it worked like a charm!

The Big Agnes air mattress I had was comfortable but terrible slick. I spent half the night sliding around. Much better to get a Thermarest sleeping pad. It's bulkier when rolled up but much more comfortable, especially on a concrete floor. Go with a Thermarest pad!!

I bought the queen mattress pad to fit the queen bed so I wouldn't recommend purchasing a full size mattress pad. Good luck anyway!

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.

I do not use on the mattress, I cut the pad loose from the side stuff, place it long way across the bottom of a queen bed so it keeps our feet and legs very warm. We roll it up and take on trips when we travel. We really like it the way we use the electric mattress pad. Great buy for the money. S Hudson Brant

I always use a mattress protector for my bed, so I may be a little biased. It works well. I dropped a pen in my bed the other day. I have also read comments about people concerned about sweating on the memory foam.

It has a nice mattress. I used a pillow case instead of a sheet and it worked really well.

Yep! We fit a mattress pad too. If it is inflated too much it might be a tight fit, but just let a little air out.

No - but use it under a good mattress pad and use two bottom fitted sheets to make it really comfortable

I have used multiple brands, both foam and gel, all work well...love it...have had one for two years no problem so got a second one for my summer home, really miss it when traveling

I agree with Lauren0418. I wouldn't call it a "mattress"... it seems uncomfortable to me and our nebworn did not like it. Looked cold and uninviting. I wish i new about putting another pad (which is another purchase).. maybe that would have helped.

I used a water resistant organic wool pad between the mattress and sheet. Works great, especially because the mattress is so lightweight, it's easy to change the sheet.

I have two aerobeds and I definitely use a mattress pad as they are cold to the bone!
