Sealy Stain Protection Crib Mattress Pad

I accidentally bought this mattress pad, thinking it was the same as the one I already had, when I went to buy a second. It's not very good quality. Every time I go to put it on the mattress it feels like my fingers are going to poke through the cheap stretchy sides. And it only barely covers the mattress; it's pretty much holding on for dear life at the corners. I have a Sealy mattress from Babies R Us and it's not extra thick, so there's no reason this shouldn't fit. For the same price, you're much better off going with the UltraSoft Quilted Mattress Pad by Continental Quilting. I have one of those and it is *great*. It fits the mattress really well, with no chance of it popping off. I wash it all the time and it hasn't shrunk a bit.

I bought this before my son was born in 2004, and it has held up really nicely the past 18 months. When he was first born, and again recently when he had a bad flu, we ended up washing this pad on a daily basis for several weeks, and it has held up wonderfully. It still looks practically new. We haven't had any problems with shrinkage. We have a Simmons mattress. I also bought the cheaper Quilted Crib Mattress Pad by Babies 'R Us, and it is just not as comfortable feeling as this one, and the quality on that one really seems to be lacking. It feels very rough, and I wouldn't imagine it to be very comfortable to sleep on.

I registered for a couple of these, and was glad to have the chance to try them out months before my twins are scheduled to arrive. We have regular Sealy crib mattresses, but the pockets on this pad were only large enough to fit down the sides of the mattress, not wrap around underneath. I was concerned that this might be a safety issue, and ended up exchanging these crib mattress pads for ones with "extra deep" pockets by Continental Quilting, which fit much better.

It works fine, covers well and does it's job. What more can you say about a mattress pad?

I was less then impressed with the quality of the stretchy sides, and the scratchy surface, but what is really bad is it shrunk up terribly when washed one time in warm water and dried in the dryer. We do NOT have extra thick crib mattresses. These pads are useless and a big waste of 40.00 since I bought two for my twins.
I expected more of Sealy and will be writing them next.
Don't waste your money!!
