Just an FYI, just about any waterproof mattress cover you get will involve plastic/rubberized plastic in order to be - waterproof. You will find it reflects your body heat which is great in the winter but can sometimes be a bit warm in the summer! I even tried putting two fitted sheets on the mattress over the top of the cover. But for an Ohio winter it is as good as having an electric blanket!
kat PS. Oz and Miss Kitty are doing well altho both are disinclined to leave the master bath. Oz tried it once and freaked out when one of my dogs, Polar Bear, wanted to chase and play like he does with my other cats. Of course, Polar Bear is about 75# with a mass of long white fur (kindof like a white chow chow) so that could have been part of it. Had to wrap Oz in a sweatshirt and take him hissing and howling back to the bathroom! k On 11/5/12, MaiMaiPG <[email protected]> wrote: > There are lots of good waterproof mattress pads.
