Vesta Baby crib mattress protector: customer review

A mattress protector sits beneath a fitted sheet, so this customer wanted to know how it would feel and sound underneath. In her review of the Vesta Baby crib mattress protector, she describes a soft top, a smooth underside and no noticeable crinkling. She also shares what happened when she tried pouring water onto it at home.

How the fabric felt to her

The reviewer was concerned about a slippery or noisy backing. She says the underside felt smooth and quiet when she handled it. She liked the soft top too, while pointing out that a fitted sheet would cover it during use.

She also liked the stretch in the elastic skirt. To judge the fit for your own mattress, compare its measurements with the current protector specifications: 52 × 28 inches, with a skirt up to 9 inches deep. Check your crib and mattress instructions before adding a protector.

Her home water test

After pouring water onto the protector, she says she couldn't feel it reaching the hand she held underneath. That was one home test. It doesn't show how the protector performs after repeated washing or with every kind of leak.

The review also includes a story about putting a towel over a wet mattress before she had this protector. Don't copy that sleep setup. CPSC safe-sleep guidance calls for a bare sleep space with only a fitted sheet and no loose bedding. A towel or protector cannot make a wet or unsuitable mattress ready for sleep.
