I liked that upon opening the package there was no odor.  This allowed me to use it immediately. The fabric is silky smooth and slid onto the mattress easily. It doesnt crinkle like previous bed protectors Ive had. It sits really well under sheets and doesnt show. I can tell that it will do a great job and will last a long time. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the material. I definitely recommend this bed protector to those looking for one
