The actual heating pad is made of a canvas type material that is covered with tiny rubber dots to reduce slipping.

I.ve had mine a long time & just like new. It is a very soft, durable material , microfiber.l Wears great & my iPad sets in it. You won't be sorry if you buy it. Damp cloth wipes off spots. I would buy another.Get a spot on it & take a damp rag & clean it.

The tag on the pad states 100% polyester fiber. I assume that is the filling. It also states Top: 100% cotton Back85% polyester/15%cotton. (this feels like a 100% cotton) Skirt100% polyester. (this is a poly knit I would say medium to a heavy weight) the quilting is stitched. I have been very pleased. Probably one of the heaviest mattress pads I've owned without calling it a mattress topper.

It is made from cloth with padding inside. I have used for water spills in emergencies then air dried. A company called Pig Leak & Spill sends me catalogs and they specialize in absorbable pads etc. newpig.com

According to the package, it's made of "cotton, synthetic, rubber". It's not like any bandages I've found in stores. It's light bone colored with a small strip of velcro across one end and is stretchy. It's much more durable than others I've found. Hope that helps.

The fabric is knitted elastic with silicon breads on the inside of the material to keep is from sliding. The packaging has a warning related to dermatitis suffers related to this material. The material contains no latex.

None of the disposable pads ones I've seen are, So far as I know you'd need a washable type under pad. The disposables are sort of gauze, a layer of absorbent stuff and plastic wrap while the washables are very thin cloth, felt, and a rubberized cloth backing.

I don't know what the backing is made of? But when I think of vinyl, I think of some type of "plastic/rubberish material. But that is not what the back of these pads feel like. It feels like cloth material to me. If the back is vinyl, I would have never known it.

Feels like some kind of foam underneath the cloth cover. It is definitely not beads. I find it fairly comfortable padding, and I have a relatively heavy 17" Toshiba. HTH

that is a good question. maybe because the plastic is super thick? but the seller will definitely answer if you ask them. they contacted me before i had received my pad. i wish you luck.

A strip along the top of the arm rest is covered in the mesh/cloth material. It isn't really padded.

HII LOVE those pads. They are made of really quality material,and are NOT flimsy.After use I rinse dirt off, then addn a TSP of bleach to a quart of cold water, and soak themfo 1/2 hour, or so, tehn washhh it together with the white laundry, and hang it up to dry.This pad probably lasts a long time.Linda in MI

Microfiber. It loses absorbancy after awhile so you should purchase back up inserts made of hemp or bamboo.

The material is your typical cloth nylon material. It is what you would see on yout average mousrpad. The selling point on this pad is the size and affordability.

Not like paper at all...or plastic either. You don't feel the 'protection' at all. They are very comfortable and easy to wash and dry. I love mine.

its plastic. There is no reason that a thin pad -or a couple of towels could not be placed over the 'bed'. I used a rolled up sheet of bubble-wrap for a while when my lower back was being tender.
