Nicest mattress pad I've ever owned.  Just bought a new, firm queen mattress to replace our old king bed.  Really didn't want to buy another feather bed, which we've always used, and the mattress pad that came with the bed was very thin.  Read the reviews on this and it looked very plush.  It's perfect! Very well made. The pad itself covers the top of the mattress completely, and the elasticized panels are large enough to fit well on our extra deep mattress.  They're also well made, and seem unlikely to rip or tear.  Very pleased with this purchase.
