Set your alarm
By J. P. Wallace
How good is it?? I genuinely had trouble prying myself out of bed the next morning it was so comfy. I was in truth contemplating buying a new bed before I decisive to undertake out this mattress pad. I’m glad I did because it saved me a few hundred dollars. Its like I have a whole new bed. Its ultra comfortable and plush. It fits my 16″ mattress with no difficulties and I don’t have to worry in regards to it shifting. The fabric even keeps your sheets from getting cold which is a great plus in the winter. All in all a outstanding buy.

Amazingly soft, but difficult to wash
By M. Mills
We have a usual queen-size mattress, and this pad fits it perfectly — it reaches the edge of the mattress all the way around. The skirt is made of stretchy polyester jersey and will fit extra-deep mattresses. The material on top is a low-pile fuzzy velveteen, and the plush share that covers the mattress is when it comes to 1.5″ thick. It’s a super soft pad that will make you not want to put sheets over it!
My husband says he notices a huge divergence in the bed now, and that it feels like lying on a pillow. Personally, I observe the plushness only for the basi few seconds after I lie down. As a heap of of the other reviewers have stated, we may from time to time feel the seams “poking out” a little: when one plush square slides just a few millimeters over an adjacent square, it produces a hard wrinkle over the seam.
The only problem with this mattress pad — and unluckily it’s a huge problem for us — has been washing it. I’m allergic to dust/dustmites, so we wash our mattress pad each time we wash our sheets. It took both my husband and me to cram the thing into the washer, but we in the long run got it to fit; surprisingly, it washed just fine. Then we pummelled it into our standard-capacity dryer, where it was so big that it didn’t in truth tumble. This resulted in two tan-colored burn spots from where the pad stayed stuck versus the barrel. Needless to say, we’ll have to find another means of drying it.
If you ordered a king size pad and wanted to wash it, you’d have to have a super-capacity washer/dryer, or else take it to the laundromat. Or just not wash it at all. I’m not attempting to bash this mattress pad by any means; I was frankly amazed that no one else had commented on how difficult it is to clean.
** Update, Aug. 11, 2008: I have found that the best means of drying this mattress pad is to hang it over/across two huge pop-up drying racks in the laundry room. My husband or I will wash it, hang it up, and then turn the ceiling fan on high for extra air circulation. Despite the plushness of the pad, the whole thing dries rather speedily (3-4 hours). I would now rate this mattress pad 4 stars. Why not 5? Still difficult to get in the washer, still has hard “poking” seams once in a while. Otherwise a nice, soft pad, and worth the money!
** Update, May 19, 2011: Washing this mattress pad was still such a chore that, a few weeks ago, I said, “To heck with this!” and donated it to Goodwill. We gave it over three years of solid use but decisive that sufficient was sufficient because of various constituents (first, washing this overstuffed pad was still burdensome and time-consuming; second, I not long back started graduate school, therefore badly limiting my time; and, last, we lately got a memory foam mattress). All of these elements combined left us with almost no reason to carry on tolerating what, for us, was an exceedingly high-maintenance mattress pad. We ended up purchasing a basic, no-nonsense organic mattress pad from a local retailer, and we’re doing fine with that. So now what would I rate this pad? Two stars. I’m sorry for the low rating, but I hope this selective information helps someone. Good luck!

Great purchase
By Heather
Very happy with the Pike Street overfilled ultra soft mattress pad. Plush, perfective amount of fill – much more than I thought! The top is microplush – so soft. Fits the mattress perfectly and stays in place. Highly commended and the price is perfect.
