Need a mattress pad that does not slide around on mattress or let cotton sheets slide around pad. How does this one perform in that regard?

I've not had any problems with it sliding around or become untucked. It fits snugly and stays where it is supposed to be. It also washes up well with no shrinkage or unraveling.

This has large woven elasticized sides so it fits snugly around the mattress. I've never had any problem with slippage on the mattress or with the sheets on top of it. It washes beautifully and has held up well. This was a five star purchase!

I have the deep pocket sheets and they work great and it stays on ... I have not had any issues with it not staying in place

Yes, it does stay in place. If the patient moves around a lot the pad might bunch slightly but it has always stayed where it needed to be in order to protect the bedding and the mattress. I use disposable pads some, usually under the sheets as an added protection for the mattress (or under the pad if I'm using it on a chair) but I tape them in place because even though they are not in direct contact with the patient they move. Disposables have their uses but I find the re-usable pad much more practical.

I was having the same problem with my old one. This one does not slip. The sides are very deep so as to accommodate a thick, pillow-top mattress. The sides tuck way under the mattress, which is good. My pillow-top mattress isn't terribly plush anymore, so the pad doesn't "squeeze" the mattress or anything -- in fact, it's very easy to put on and off -- but it doesn't slip like my old one. After a week, I might have to readjust it slightly, but very, very little. My old one had to be readjusted every single day when I made the bed.

The pad fits snuggly and doesn't add bulk. The sides of the pad are thinner fabric than the waterproof top. We have no trouble putting sheets on. It's a great pad, washes well and is durable. We did a lot of research and we're glad we decided to buy this one.

I have queen sheets on a full mattress. I love the way the topper sleeps, but it drives me absolutely crazy the way it slides off the edge every couple of days.

Hi Karolyn,The mattress pad is not thick at all. It's awesome for warmth, but it won't help for softness.

This is not a puffy mattress pad. It is a very thin vinyl sheeting that is covered in a soft thin cotton-like material. It is for waterproofing but I am not sure if it shifts at all. It seems to fit snugly but I haven't slept on it

I would describe the mattress pad as "perfect." It isn't thick or thin; it has a quilted top and the sheets fit beautifully over it. We are the Grandparents so we don't use the crib constantly but when "our baby" comes over, his Mama swears he likes it better than his crib at home. So much so that we actually gave her and our son-in-law the extra pad that came in the pack and they love it, too. I initially looked at all the expensive eco-friendly sorts of mattress pads. Ultimately, I went with this one which turned out to be an excellent and economical choice. Our daughter is now expecting twins (oh my!) and I will buy them again.

When you put it on it glides or slips. Once you cover with fitted sheet, it does not move at all.

Sorry, I have never used a mattress pad. I guess if you use a fitted bed sheet, the pad will stay in position over the encasement. I used the mattress and box spring encasement to get rid of the bedbugs. I hope this helps.

I used it on a regular bed, but it is very thin. Nothing like the mattress pads I've used in the past which are quilted and bulky. It's definitely thicker than a sheet, but truly not by much. It reminds me of a very cheap bath towel. It's the same kind of texture as a bath towel, but very thin. Like the cheap towel you get in cheap motels :) Except this is soft!

This is no more bulky than any other mattress pad, it's just the material it's made out of. I washed and dried mine in a standard machine with no problem. The recommendation is perm press and cool water, as I remember.

No, I don't have any problem with that at all. I have a mattress pad cover over my foam but I love my bed now. Very comfortable. I highly recommend this pad.

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

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!!
