What they say:
“Hippychick has transformed bedding protection with their multi award-winning comfortable and discreet range of mattress protectors and bedding liners - a great alternative to sweaty plastic under sheets. Soft, breathable, absorbent and 100% waterproof, these bedding protectors are essential items for every household. The polyurethane layer that makes the protectors 100% waterproof has the added benefit of acting as an anti-allergy barrier protecting against dust mites, a major cause of two increasingly common childhood conditions - asthma and hay fever. Ideal for use at home as well as going on holiday - helping to ensure a good night's sleep for everyone! ”

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend the Hippychick Mattress Protectors to other mums. It is comfy and warm and easy to use. Unlike a lot of the ones that you buy from other shops it doesn't rustle when the babies turn over and move around. I would also recommend it as it is warm and comfy.
How did this product make your life easier?
It means that my baby is better at sleeping through the night. With this new mattress protector unlike the others they do not rustle in the same way that others do when she turns over at night. This means we get more nights when she sleeps through.
What changes would you make to this product?
The one thing that I would change would be the price point as these are very expensive for a sheet when you can buy a similar product much cheaper. You would need two sheets at least so that when one is in the wash the other one is on the cot.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I am totally in love with this mattress protector. The quality of the fabric is simply fabulous for a mattress protector. It is soft, easy to clean and totally protects your little one's mattress without being the usual plastic type. I would absolutely recommend it to my friends and have already bought one for my toddler.
How did this product make your life easier?
With the Hippychick Mattress Protector, you can be assured that your little one's mattress will be fully protected from any little incidents and will remain intact. It is also easy to wash at 40 degrees in your wahshing machine. It is so soft that you do not even need a bed sheet to put on top of it. My daughter loves it.
Would you choose this product to win?
The cotton is so soft and it is fantastic to know that your mattress is fully protected. I did not think I could have found a protector of such a good quality.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing that I would change is the design. Those protectors only come in white and if you can use them without a fitted sheet on top then you may as well have a little fun with the design and make them a little bit more child friendly. That's the only critique I have about the Hippychick Mattress Protector, otherwise I totally love it.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would, but not for a mum on a budget!. The product is obviously high quality and was lovely and soft to the touch and was far better than a budget alternative, however I don't know many mums who would be able to afford the product. The Hippychick Mattress Protector really does scream high quality and really effectively did its job, best part was no sweating for the baby on it which you can get with other similar products which drives me mad!
How did this product make your life easier?
It really does protect the mattress and also keeps your baby lovely and dry too. No sweating for baby and for me I believe this makes the product safer for young babies with the fear of over heating etc. Any product which helps keep the mattress clean and dry is ideal and having tried rather a lot of these I am so glad that we have finally found one that really works!
What changes would you make to this product?
I would lower the price. We all have had the bed wetting problem at some point and to have a product which really works like this would really help a lot of parents’ nightmares! I will be recommending people this product but tell them to save up in advance!
