This is a quality mattress topper. I do have dogs and therefore have always used a waterproof mattress pad. I’ve covered my topper with it and recommend this for anyone using a feather topper as it’s common for an occasional feather to poke out. My previous topper lasted for 20 years. I am really happy with this product and Wayfair price is phenomenal. Sweet dreams for all with this bundle of feathers! )
