Does it really keep spills off the mattress?

Yes. The waterproof backing is designed to stop liquids from passing through to the mattress. Wipe or blot spills promptly and wash the pad.

Will it fit a full-size mattress?

It measures 54 by 75 inches, the standard full mattress size. Check your mattress depth, since a deep mattress may stretch the fit.

Yes, it is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle and low heat to protect the waterproof backing and quilting.

The polyester top and waterproof layer reduce airflow, so hot sleepers may notice more warmth than with a cotton pad.

It adds light padding, not a thick topper. It softens a firm mattress slightly but will not change its overall feel.

The waterproof layer can make a slight crinkly sound, especially when new. It tends to soften with use and washing.
