So many reviews with ripping, I was scared to put it on. I slowly put on the mattress protector, going back and forth back and forth, sliding it down a little at a time. I got it on and called the neighbor to help me set my bed back down slowly. Now we wait and see. Looks good though, feels nice, and the seams seem really tight. I did wonder about the zipper area, do I need to worry about that at all? Should I tape that area down for extra protection? I will update in a week if anything changes.
