How durable is the cover? I have a loft bed where the mattress sits directly on top of a large sheet of wood. Tears = useless cover.

I've only had my Queen cover & split box spring covers since Jan., but the fabric is tightly woven & the construction seems VERY durable to me. The sides & bottom are of the same fabric (for mattress cover) and when pulled have a bit of a stretch to them -and the sides are pulled /kept together by a zipper on all 3 sides. The construction is superb. It seems logical with the tightness of the zipper joining the fabric (so no bugs come thru the stitching around the cover sides) that normal wear & tear from adult weight & kids tossing & turning on your mattress would NOT result in tearing. It was hard for us to zip it up (it takes two people) and the fabric was strong - if it were weak fabric, we would have seen small tears around where it was sewn due to our handling to make sure the twin box springs (& queen mattress cover) were tight & secure. I've also sewn clothes & repaired my kids clothes most of my life, and this product's fabric feels & seems quite durable. Q: Is your wood platform surface unfinished or does it have a rough surface that could produce splinters or tearing in the fabric's bottom, if there was lots of movement (e.g., jumping by kids) that could produce sliding of the mattress on the platform during use? How smooth is your large sheet of wood to touch? If it is not rough, you should have no problems. If you still have doubts, I'd suggest you contact the company directly if you are really concerned. The company should be able to give you the technical fabric specs (e.g., just like threads count for sheets determine their durability). Hope this helps.

I installed the queen size mattress cover on the bed and it has never been moved, is only a few months old so I don't have any history of its durability. Looks better than the mattress, however, so it works for me.

I didn't buy the twin, but assuming it is made from the same material as the Queen, the fabric is very durable. It is a tightly woven microfiber. It feels very nice and I don't think it would tear easily.

my sons bed is the same way and if you don't move it around it is ok. you could also put a flat sheet or something down on the wood first.

I have had my singer steam press for over a year and my cover is like new. I bought a new white terry cloth towel laid it over the pressing bed. I iron and steam press everything on top of this towel which protects the units cover. (suggestion for future use)

Hi Sarah, I have checked our covers and we do have a chewer but she hasn't tried it on the covers. We bought her a nylabone and she keeps busy with that. We also have a Corgi/Bassett mix who like to fluff her bed. So, with her strong nails she made the waterproof backing crack. The material is not ruined Jin any way ust the backing cracked. It stil works pretty well to keep the cushion dry though. She is 12 and has bad days where she leaks in her sleep or when getting up. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I ended up ripping a small part on the seam on the last corner I fought with for an hour to get over the frame. The canvas was rolled and folded very tight and seemed to loosen up as I wrestled to get it together. My zippers were impossible so I let it sit and settle in for a couple hours and they closed fairly easy after that. My best advice to people would to unroll the cover and stretch it around the frame slowly to let the material relax if your having trouble.

That has not been an issue so far, and we live in the really hot desert...I do have a zip on cover over mine, followed by an old fashioned mattress cover, then the sheet. That may have been adequate to prevent over heating.

I've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!

Pretty well. Bought it in June and my 30 lb pup hasn't squashed it yet. The memory foam retains it's shape very well. I wouldn't put the cover in the dryer though.

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.

The material seems durable, but in my opinion, many air beds (this included) will eventually fail depending upon length of use. Ours failed after a few months of daily indoor use. It may be OK for occasional camping.

I haven't had tearing issues. I have had mine about 9 months and I still love it :) going to bed is a comfy experience!

Our cat once peed on it, so we took the cover off, washed it and dried it in a machine and put it back on the mattress. No problems whatsoever.If it wasn't meant for washing it wouldn't be made removable, wouldn't it?

This is a different cover than I have. It looks more durable. Sorry I wasn't able to help

It has been very durable for our dogs who dig in their bed. But mine haven't figured out how to unzip. That is a talent! The cover is pretty heavy duty denim and it has a silky like inside bag that is supposed too be water proof. I have problems getting the cover off for washing but I am sure if a dog is determined they can figure out how to destroy most anything.

The skirt on the mattress pad seems to be more durable and thicker than some mattress pads I have owned. I have not had a problem with the skirt tearing but have not owned the pad very long.

Wooooow. Sorry to hear that. Mine is still holding up well and it was purchased w/a deep discount because it was slightly damaged. Good luck in your quest for answers.

Ditto. I have had mine for 2 years as well. 2 soaking wet winters and 2 beautiful summers exposed to sunlight and, it is holding up great. Very durable for an inexpensive cover.
