[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to figure out exactly what to get for my daughter’s dorm bed. If I get a zipped mattress cover do I encase the mattress and topper in it, and put a fitted sheet over the whole thing? Or use the zipped mattress cover around the mattress, put the topper on that, and put a fitted sheet on top?

I’d prefer to encase the mattress by itself, but will a fitted sheet will be enough to hold it all together and prevent the topper from sliding around. Also, should the topper should have some kind of protection in case she spills stuff on it?

I don’t think the mattress encase is necessary. They aren’t regular mattresses. They are already covered with plastic. We just added the mattress topper and a waterproof mattress cover (it was deep enough for both the mattress and pad - the mattresses are very thin). Did this for four colleges are all mattresses were basically the same. [/quote]

Did your kids wash the mattress cover every time they washed sheets? I am sending my first to college this fall, a boy, and I have a hard time picturing him washing sheets regularly much less also removing and washing a mattress cover (although he should!). [/quote]
