Newpoint International 370-Thread Count Mercerized Cotton Mattress Pad, Twin

This is a nice pad for the money. It's very similar to the pad I'm replacing, which cost twice as much five years ago.

The top fabric is heavy and tightly woven, and there's plenty of fluffy spun polyester for padding underneath. The sides are made of good quality stretchy fabric that I anticipate will hold up well. The pad is sized perfectly and can accommodate my thick pillowtop mattress without squishing the edges.

The only reason I'm not giving the pad five stars is because the craftsmanship is less than great. Stitching is wavy and really crooked, and one of the seams is sewn funky. Looks funny but should be perfectly serviceable.

I haven't washed the pad yet, but I'll update this review when I do.

This mattress pad is awesome. Very high quality construction. I love the stretchy sides that go over the corners of the mattress - thick material and streches with ease. The loft of the padding is excellent. Highly recommend this product!

Care instructions indicate to dry on low heat but the backing on this mattress pad melted when dried on low heat.
