I have a new mattress with a memory foam top layer, which seems to
make it very comfortable. I would like to protect the mattress from
spills, so I am searching for a waterproof mattress encasing. The
problem is most of these encasings ruin the mattress feel and defeat
the purpose of having a memory foam top layer on the mattress. Has
anyone found a waterproof mattress encasing that works well with these
new mattresses with memory foam?
Thanks

When I purchased my new mattress a few years ago, I purchased a mattress pad
that guaranteed it wouldn't allow spills to go through. It has worked just
like it says and it doesn't have any sort of plastic feel to it.

I got one too but then they delivered a sheet of Masonite.


It has
prevented several "spills" from getting through to the mattress. The
mattress pad has several stains on it that never went through to the pad.
It was a rather expensive mattress pad, but it fits over the mattress, just
like a fittet sheet and is quilted and appears to have a thin fiberous type
filling. You can probably find something similiar where good mattresses are
sold.
