Newpoint Home Deluxe 250-Thread-Count Cotton Damask Stripe Twin XL Mattress Pad

Having purchased numerous mattress pads (because most of them are utter garbage) I was very impressed when I received this. The actual padding is very nice and a lot thicker than most pads I've seen and also doesn't look like you picked it out of a dollar store (it has a quality look to it, 300 thread count, I believe).

Now, where this really shines is the part where it isn't padded (the fabric that goes on the side of the bed that you tuck in). Most pads have this weird filter-looking material that you can easily poke your finger through. This pad has a very nice quality material thats quite stretchy but very durable. This is a quality pad and I expect it will last me a long, long time.

I read reviews before purchasing this mattress pad and noticed that there was a commment on drying this item. I figured that if I followed the washing instructions, I would be fine. I purchased the pad, LOVED how it fit and felt on my bed... and then washed it about a week later. I followed the directions and used low heat. However, when I took the mattress pad out of the dryer, the backing had melted the whole thing into a ball! When I tried to pull it apart, tiny melted pieces dropped all over my floor. I'm trying to return the item now, but it's a hassle. On top of all that frustration, my Eqyption Cotton sheets were in the dryer at the time and are sporadically covered in patches of tiny melted plastic, also. SO, it's fits and feels great... but if you dry it, do not use ANY heat!

Do not under any circumstance put this pad in the dryer the linner will melt even on the lowest setting. It is not 100% cotton as claimed. The backing is of the poorest quality poly something? I took the chance on the cool down setting for only 15 minutes at a time and it melted in several places with only 1 washing so far. Still usable but will most likely fall apart with next washing
