Cons

• Significant Shrinkage: This is a very commonly reported issue. Many users experienced considerable shrinkage after washing, even when following washing instructions. Shrinkage ranging from 5cm to 15cm per side, and even up to 30cm in width in one case, is repeatedly mentioned. Specific examples include shrinkage from 180x200cm to 165x200cm, 120x200cm to approximately 110x190cm, and a general description of shrinking "a lot". Shrinkage is reported even after washing at 40°C, 30°C, and 60°C. One user reported shrinkage of approximately 10% after a gentle wash at 40°C. Multiple users suggest buying a larger size to account for shrinkage. Shrinkage after washing is reported even after stretching the protector after washing. One user reported shrinkage resulting in the protector being too small for the intended mattress after washing. One user reported initial dimensions were larger than stated, but then shrank to the correct size after washing. One user was informed that 5-10% shrinkage per wash is to be expected with cotton. Shrinkage of 30-40% is reported by multiple users. Shrinkage of 10cm after washing at 60°C is reported. Shrinkage of 5cm, and even 8cm after washing at 40°C is reported. Shrinkage of 15cm x 10cm after washing at 40°C is reported. One user reported that it shrunk to 150x190cm after washing at 40°C (initial size 160x200cm). Even low temperature washing (40°C) may result in shrinkage. Significant shrinkage after the first wash is reported.
• Uneven Filling: Some users report the filling clumping together after washing, creating unevenness and potentially holes. One user reported the cotton filling shifting and creating empty spaces after washing. This clumping is exacerbated if the protector cannot fit in the washing machine and requires cleaning in a larger machine. The filling is described as becoming lumpy and uneven after washing. Filling shifting is reported after washing. Many areas without filling are reported.
• Brown/Yellowish Stains: Some users reported brown or yellowish stains appearing after the first wash, on the underside of the protector. This is a recurring issue, even after replacing the product. The stains are described as similar to those on old rubber shoes.
• Inaccurate Dimensions: Several reviews mention receiving a product with incorrect dimensions. One user received a 180x200cm protector that measured only 171cm in width. Another reported that the stated dimensions were inaccurate. One user received a product that was too small even before washing. A 5cm difference between stated and actual dimensions is reported. A 13cm difference between stated and actual dimensions (after washing) is reported.
• Elastic Strap Failure: At least one user reported that the elastic corner straps tore during the first use after washing. Another user reported that the elastic straps on a smaller size (80x200cm) were too short. The elastic straps on the 90x200cm version were described as sufficiently long. One user described the elastic straps as weak. At least one user experienced half of the corner straps detaching after the first wash. One user reported that the elastic straps are poorly attached.
• Difficulty Stretching: One user reported difficulty stretching the protector onto the mattress due to its thickness and stiffness.
• Difficult to Wash: The protector absorbs a large amount of water when washed, making it difficult to rinse and wring out by hand. Its weight when wet can be around 60kg, making home washing challenging and suggesting the need for professional cleaning.
• Unpleasant Odor: At least one user reported a strong unpleasant odor requiring washing before use, with the washing causing further problems (shrinkage). One user reported excessive dust coming from the product, requiring washing before use.
• Packaging Issues: At least one user reported receiving the product un-packaged in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box, causing concern about hygiene. The product may come folded in a box rather than packaged separately, with no plastic wrapping. One user reported receiving the product unpackaged at the store. The product may arrive without plastic packaging.
• Linting: At least one user reported excessive linting from the first day of use.
• Stitching Issues: At least one user reported that the stitched seams came undone before washing, during the first use. The material is described as pilling and potentially tearing in multiple places after one wash and two weeks of use. At least one user reported that the top mattress wasn''t properly stitched.
• Off-White Color: The white color is described by some as slightly grayish.

Comments

The most significant concern remains the substantial shrinkage after washing. Many users reported this issue despite following washing instructions, indicating a potential problem with the material''s quality or pre-treatment. Users are strongly advised to order a significantly larger size to compensate for this shrinkage. The appearance of brown or yellowish stains after washing is also a recurring negative comment, even on replacement products. The quality and length of the elastic corner straps are questionable due to reported tearing and insufficient length on certain sizes. The stiffness of the material makes stretching onto larger mattresses difficult. Washing at temperatures below 60°C does not guarantee that shrinkage will be avoided. Some users report yellowing of the material after washing. The product''s large size and water absorption make home washing extremely difficult. Several users suggest professional cleaning instead of home washing. The product may arrive without plastic packaging, requiring immediate washing and increasing the likelihood of shrinkage problems. One user was informed that 5-10% shrinkage per wash is to be expected with cotton. The product may come folded in a box rather than packaged separately, with no plastic wrapping. The product may be delivered with stains. The filling may shift after washing, making the protector feel lumpy. One user described the feel under a sheet as clammy after washing. The product may arrive already shrunk. The protector may be slightly too small for the mattress. The product may pill and tear after washing.
