I had purchased another brand that I was happy with but didn't want to pay the higher price. This is exactly the same as that design and was less expensive. I also had a heavier quilted one that wasn't water proof so I had issues with it going through the washer and shredding as well as liquids going right through it to mattress, this pad solved both issues. Ive already washed and put on bed, washed up well following instructions, fits mattress perfectly. No noise or plastic feel when laying on bed.

Pros: lightweight to put through washer, waterproof, comfortable
Cons: none
