I was very pleased by the product, overall. The fabric is smooth and comfortable and, it doesn't use any vinyl sheeting to make it waterproof. As a result, you never hear the cold sounds of vinyl crackling under you when you change positions. It is also deep enough to cover a large mattress, so it fits the bed beautifully. If you are like I am and many, many others, who find eating in bed is not only a comfort but comfortable, you'll want to make sure that you'll be anticipating any damage that might occur. Spills, from a liquid source is potentially one of the worst accidents and one of the most damaging to a mattress. That's when you can take comfort in knowing that your mattress is well protected by an upscale, well made ,"fool proof" mattress cover like the Ultimate Beautyrest Protective Mattress Cover. Of course, you still have to change your sheets and all, but if you choose to eat in bed, it's a small price to pay for this indulgence. SusiesQdom
