First of all cover your mattress with a rubber/plastic pad because it's impossible to clean the mattress.

In case you haven't bought one in a while, wanted to advise they are much better in the past couple years. You can now get the mattress pads for fairly inexpensive that are cloth-like on one side and plastic on the other -- so to the feel they aren't all crinkly. They feel more like cloth than plastic and don't make sounds... We purchased one for my niece (toddler) not too long ago. I know QVC sells them and I've seen them in stores that sell bedding. Don't automatically grab the old-fashioned sheet of plastic/rubber ones they have sold for years. Look around. You won't even know it is on your bed.



I'd try Ruby's table cloth idea before my astro turf mat idea as her's is easier to do. If her's doesn't work, go to the astro turf and then more expensive like scatmat...
