This mattress protector requires three people to put it on if you have a king size bed, one on each side to insert the mattress and one at the end of the bed to help pull the protective cover down over the mattress. The protective cover is a nice material. It’s sturdy, good quality and soft and it is water resistant which I found to be really great.￼ and after you pull the cover over the mattress, you zip it at the end and you’re done mattress protected great product!
