The mattress is wonderful and having never had a mattress cover before I declined getting them when purchasing first 1 and then a 2nd mattress.

However, it turns out that our dogs love the mattresses as much as we do and with so much rain in 2018 they inadvertently left muddy paw prints.  My bad, not theirs.  So I finally broke down and went with the covers.

Was so pleasantly surprised to find them so soft and comfortable...so MUCH BETTER than one may see in a store.  The fit was great on the full size but just a little loose though still a good fit on the queen.  Though I did not pre-wash them as recommended so I expect the fit to get perfect on both.

All in all well worth the expense.  Just wish I would have had them before the muddy paw prints.  Oh well, if live with dogs these things happen.  Now I am also more interested in their dog beds.
