Kennedy Home Collections Zippered Mattress Cover - Twin

 (7 customer reviews)

I bought this for potty training time. I wanted something I didn't have to machine wash, where I could just take the bedding off to wash as needed. I had tried a few mattress pads than had a vinyl/plastic lining, and the vinyl just ripped in the wash after one or two washes.

It went on easily enough, didn't rip, and seems to be holding up even with a 3 year old who tosses and turns and likes to jump on the bed when mom isn't looking.

It seems to be made of medium grade vinyl, like you'd find in a hospital bed. MUCH better than the flimsy plastic ones I found at T a r g e t or W a l m a r t.

After reading reviews, we purchased 2 twin sized mattress covers to store the mattresses of our high-riser in a storage room. Because others said they were easy to tear, we moved the mattresses nearly into place first, then put on the covers. They were exactly what we wanted, and they fit well with very little space around them, yet easy to put on. We are sure they will keep the mattresses clean until we need them again.
As other reviewers said, if they were of thicker plastic, we wouldn't have had to be so very careful with them. But, then again, at the price.... :)

It is not very clear in the description, but this is vinyl. I returned it immediately. Did not open the package, can't describe the item, but I wanted a bug barrier that was made of material.
