When I use this waterproof pad should I use normal sheet on the top?

I use a sheet on top of the cover. The fabric is soft quilted but a bit rough at the same time. Great material. Have had mines for my baby for about 6 months now. Washes great and looks still like new. Hope this helps.

Yes you should. I use it with a sheet on top no different than we do the adult size mattress covers.

Absolutely . . . the pad is designed to protect the mattress from wetness, and the crib sheet over the top makes it more comfortable fora baby or young child.

i would definitely get a waterproof pad to go on top of it. i would also buy this again. it works extremely well[better than others we've had]. the control is very precise and easy to use.

The foam part is supposed to fit inside of a sleeve on the bottom of it but I place it on top with a waterproof pad & crib sheet ...that way if they have an accident it doesn't wet through everything!

I always use a top sheet. This coverlet is stiff enough that you don't feel claustrophobic and it still keeps you warm

The company says that it should be on a hard surface with no padding/insulation on top or beneath as it can cause overheating and thus a fire hazard. It seems many people are successfully using the bed that way but just thought I would pass on the official answer to that question

The pad is waterproof as long as the fluid doesn't fill it up. If too much fluid it will run over the sides. But the bottom part is waterproof, provided you follow the washing and drying instructions. (In nice weather I hang dry mine outside, which I believe helps the bottom part last longer.) They do eventually wear out - but I've had some last for over 3 years now.

Our daughter has used this mattress for four months (she is now 10 months). We do not use a waterproof pad, just a sheet. If there is ever anything wet on her sheets (formula, urine, etc) you can just use a washcloth. It has a very durable vinyl cover in my opinion.

The "waterproof" part covers the top. The sides are a sheer material that is elastised at the bottom(but more snug than a sheet set. This the sides of the mattress are not protected from anything than dust,etc.

You don't have to but might want to. We use our regular king sheets and so long as you don't have the two sides in too different of positions then you're fine.

dont add anything to it, maybe a sheet to protect the pad from getting dirty quickly, but change regularly

As I have the oeuf dresser I didn't want to buy any other pad, it works ok. If it gets wet I just clean it with a sponge w/water and soap and put it to the sun or just in the window for an hour and its done. If the size is right you can try a waterproof one instead, I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Yes, it is! I still put a waterproof mattress pad on it before putting the sheet on though. I just like to go an extra step towards protecting my baby equipment though, as this is my first baby and I plan to have many more (through which if like this stuff to last)!

It depends on how much liquid seeps through to the pad--in my experience, it protects the mattress very well, even if there is quite a lot of "liquid" seeping throughout the sheet.

Not at all. I do have a standard mattress pad on it though. Nothing special just to protect the mattress. Very comfortable.

You use a fitted sheet on top of it. I hear rustling every now and then, but the mattress pad doesn't make you sweat. It's a great product if you have a toddler who on occasion has an accident at night. The mattress cover will save your mattress.

I use my pad on a free standing cot and cover all with a fitted single sheet. Therefore, I have yet to make my pad dirty. If I did get it dirty, I would probably wash the pad with Dawn dishwashing liquid, hose it off, and hang it in the sun to dry.

No, this would be your crib sheet. I will say, I tried these, but found that ZipSheets (www.ZipSheets.com) are MUCH better, since they are velcro (quicker and quieter), and WATERPROOF so you don't need an extra waterproof pad (so the cost is actually cheaper). I have had mine for 5 years now, through infancy and potty training and sweaty nights and travelling, and they are the BEST. If you email her, she might give you a discount--they have excellent customer service. :)
