Pike Street Overfilled Ultra Soft Microplush Queen Mattress Pad
Review by L. A. Ward, Jr. : Best $45 we've ever spent

Our extra-firm mattress was purchased years ago when back issues dictated such a change. Once those issues were resolved, the extra-firm mattress created new problems with stiff shoulder joints. Arthritis is probably setting in. Rather than spend a huge amount of money on new bedding, we chose to try this very highly rated mattress pad. As the heading says, this is absolutely the best $45 we've ever spent. No issues with slipping or stitching or "too hot". Just luxurious comfort each and every night. I smile a little every time I roll over and can't believe what a simple fix this was. If you have a similar situation, don't delay another minute in ordering this fabulous product.

Review by M. Mills "inquisitive designer" : Amazingly soft, but difficult to wash

We have a standard queen-size mattress, and this pad fits it perfectly -- it reaches the edge of the mattress all the way around. The skirt is made of stretchy polyester jersey and will fit extra-deep mattresses. The material on top is a low-pile fuzzy velveteen, and the plush part that covers the mattress is about 1.5" thick. It's a super soft pad that will make you not want to put sheets over it!

My husband says he notices a huge difference in the bed now, and that it feels like lying on a pillow. Personally, I notice the plushness only for the first few seconds after I lie down. As many of the other reviewers have stated, we can sometimes feel the seams "poking out" a little: when one plush square slides just a few millimeters over an adjacent square, it creates a hard wrinkle over the seam.

The only problem with this mattress pad -- and unfortunately it's a big problem for us -- has been washing it. I'm allergic to dust/dustmites, so we wash our mattress pad every time we wash our sheets. It took both my husband and me to cram the thing into the washer, but we eventually got it to fit; surprisingly, it washed just fine. Then we pummelled it into our standard-capacity dryer, where it was so big that it didn't actually tumble. This resulted in two tan-colored burn spots from where the pad stayed stuck against the barrel. Needless to say, we'll have to find another means of drying it.

If you ordered a king size pad and wanted to wash it, you'd have to have a super-capacity washer/dryer, or else take it to the laundromat. Or just not wash it at all. I'm not trying to bash this mattress pad by any means; I was honestly surprised that no one else had commented on how difficult it is to clean.

** Update, Aug. 11, 2008: I have found that the best means of drying this mattress pad is to hang it over/across two large pop-up drying racks in the laundry room.Min man och jag kommer att tvätta den, hänga upp det, och slå sedan på takfläkt på hög för extra luftcirkulation. Trots plushness av pad, det hela torkar ganska snabbt (3-4 timmar). Jag vill nu sätta betyg på denna bäddmadrass 4 stjärnor. Varför inte 5? Fortfarande svårt att få i brickan, har fortfarande svårt "peta" sömmar då och då. Annars en fin, mjuk pad, och värt pengarna!

** Update, maj 19, 2011: Tvätt detta bäddmadrass var ännu en sådan syssla som för några veckor sedan, sade jag, "För sjutton med det här!" och skänkte den till goodwill. Vi gav det över tre år av massiva användning, men beslutade att nog var nog på grund av flera faktorer (första, tvätta denna overstuffed pad fortfarande var betungande och tidskrävande, för det andra jag nyligen börjat Grad skolan, vilket kraftigt begränsar min tid, och, Äntligen fick vi nyligen ett minne skum madrass). All of these factors combined left us with virtually no reason to continue tolerating what, for us, was an extremely high-maintenance mattress pad. We ended up purchasing a basic, no-nonsense organic mattress pad from a local retailer, and we're doing fine with that. So now what would I rate this pad? Two stars. I'm sorry for the low rating, but I hope this information helps someone. Good luck!......

Review by J. Mansfield "mardi gras" : Soft, but....

Is é an eochaircheap fantastically bog do lámh agus má tá sé go leor clúmhach. Nuair a thagann an seams le chéile - gach cúinne an sciath - tá snaidhm. Nuair a bhíonn tú atá suite ar sé, is féidir leat a bhraitheann gach ceann de na muirmhíle. Rinne mé aisiompú é, ach gan dul.

Review by Edgar A Poe "garden gnome" : MMMM Good!

This mattress pad is so comfortable. It fit great on my mattress and has stayed in place. My sheets fit nicely over the pad. The bed is so much more comfortable and even looks more inviting and fluffy.

The only con I can think of is that it is more warm. It is currently the end of summer in coastal S.C. and I am extremely hot natured anyway. I did not need anymore warmth. I think that feature might be nice in a few months.

In closing, I love the pad and it really has enhanced the comfort of my bed. I think it was good value for the money and I would buy another.

Review by Readerly : Super Comfy, Beware Washing

As others have mentioned, this mattress pad is very comfortable. I haven't had any problems with slipping - it fits my mattress perfectly.

The only issue is washing it - it is HUGE because it's so fluffy, and I learned the hard way I have to set the water level in the washer to low or it floods because it's so large and doesn't absorb a lot. Once you know that, however, it's really a gem of a product.

Review by Heather : Great purchase

Mycket nöjd med Pike överfulla Street ultramjuka bäddmadrass. Plysch, perfekta mängden fyllning - mycket mer än jag trodde! Toppen är microplush - så mjuk. Passar madrassen perfekt och håller sig på plats. Rekommenderas varmt och priset är perfekt.

Review by PuppyLove : Soft and very plush, but skirt is huge!

Agree with everyone else, this is SO SOFT and so plush! Amazingly comfortable. Two minor issues though - you can feel the bumps at the edge of each square a bit, and the skirt is HUGE and doesn't fit even remotely snug around my 16 inch 76x80 mattress (king). It slips around every night and I have to move it back in the morning. Any suggestions?
