Customer Reviews

Amazingly soft, but difficult to wash
We have a standard 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 part that covers the mattress is about 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 difference in the bed now, and that it feels like lying on a pillow. Personally, I notice the plushness only for the first few seconds after I lie down. As many of the other reviewers have stated, we can sometimes feel the seams "poking out" a little: when one plush square slides just a few millimeters over an adjacent square, it creates a hard wrinkle over the seam.

The only problem with this mattress pad -- and unfortunately it's a big problem for us -- has been washing it. I'm allergic to dust/dustmites, so we wash our mattress pad every time we wash our sheets. It took both my husband and me to cram the thing into the washer, but we eventually 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 actually tumble. This resulted in two tan-colored burn spots from where the pad stayed stuck against 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 trying to bash this mattress pad by any means; I was honestly surprised 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 large 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 quickly (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!

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

Set your alarm
How good is it?? I actually had trouble prying myself out of bed the next morning it was so comfy. I was actually contemplating buying a new bed before I decided to try 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 problems and I don't have to worry about it shifting. The fabric even keeps your sheets from getting cold which is a great plus in the winter. All in all a great buy.
