Didn't know I could be so excited about a mattress pad! This pad was replacing a thick, expensive pad that had lost its elastic. When I took it out, I was slightly concerned about the quality because it was so different from my last mattress pad. I washed it and put it on the bed. It holds on well and keeps my foam topper in place as well as keeping the sheets in place. It is cool and comfortable to sleep on. I actually feel like I have a whole new bed, which I never would have expected from a simple mattress pad. I'm loving it!
