I liked the fact that it had elastic all the way around and just like the fitted sheet. Which is easy to put on unlike the zippered ones that are strenuous and requires a second person for some people. Fits slightly loose but I washed it before use and became a perfect fit for my mattress.

The cover is easy to put on our queen mattress and we have washed it several times already. The cover retains more water than regular bed cover so it is better to wash separately and dry on a rack. So far we found some water on the tile floor underneath the drying rack. If your washer is capable of extra spin cycle, you should use it for this protector.
