I am disappointed with this purchase: buy to avoid problems for my young children, it seemed okay to reception, although somewhat noisy (when the child moves in the bed that squeaks) since it is a plastic mattress cover on which is bonded a kind of cotton. But washing at 50 °, disaster: the fabric is Decole of plastic mattress cover and it makes a mattress pad "with lining". So it is actually a slightly improved plastic mattress cover, not a mattress pad cotton waterproofed.
