Therapedic 300 Cotton Mattress Pad —

While shopping for a new mattress pad, I found myself faced with a conundrum. Do you really derive any benefit from a 600-count mattress pad if you only own 300-count sheets? After giving both the 300-count and 600-count pads a feel, I decided it wouldn't make that much difference either way. So, I ended up with the Therapedic 300 Cotton Mattress Pad made exclusively for Bed, Bath & Beyond department stores.

The Therapedic Mattress Pad features a stain protector called Invisi-Shield complete with a Nanotex fabric protector that is like Teflon for your bedding. The pad also contains anti-microbial treatments to guard against bacterial odors, mold and mildew. There is also a 5-year guarantee on the product, which is almost as long a guarantee as my mattress.

The comfortable feel of the mattress pad is achieved with 12 ounces of polyester fiberfill which is 6 times the fill weight of an average pad. The fiberfill is encased in a puffy diamond pattern, and covered by 100% cotton in a 300-thread count dobby box weave. Because the pad has the polyfill, you can see the diamond pattern even after the sheets are put on. But that doesn't bother me at all because it still feels smooth.

Another good point of the mattress pad is the "Tailor Fit Enhanced" skirt that expands to fit larger mattresses up to 20 inches. I had no problem getting the mattress pad on my bed and the elasticized skirt stayed put once it was on the bed. The only issue is that now I really have to pull and stretch my sheets to get the sheets over the puffy mattress pad.

Overall, this is a big improvement over what we used previously. The Therapedic 300 Cotton Mattress Pad provides comfort, protects my mattress, fits securely, and is affordable.
