Real Simple votes this waterproof mattress pad from Garnet Hill as the best one. For $75 the mattress pad is a practical solution to worrying about bed stains or soiling. They swear by its comfortability, too.

Why We Like It
It’s practical. You can have breakfast in bed or sleep with your pets or kids without worrying about an accident. It’s also luxurious. You won’t hear a lot of crinkly noises when you turn over, because a cotton-percale layer quiets the polyurethane backing. Everyone in the family will be able to use this machine-washable pad, which is available in sizes from crib to college-dorm twin extra-long to king (it fits a 16-inch-thick mattress). The skirt is snug-fitting and stays put, which makes it safer for babies and less irritating for adults.
