Yawnder reviews · Original 2015 testing archive · Refreshed October 2026
This update distinguishes original hands-on evidence from current product availability and makes no newly invented numerical test claims.
Quick verdict
The original Coop pad was a useful example of combining a softer textile surface with protective functionality. Yawnder disclosed receiving a free sample and described its bamboo/polyester feel, fitted use and historic waterproof marketing. The current product and membrane claims should be verified independently.

Who this review can help
Useful for
- People protecting a mattress against spills while minimizing a crinkly surface
- Owners comparing thin mattress protectors with plush quilted comfort pads
Not a match for
- Anyone who wants several inches of pressure relief from a thin protector
- Buyers using a 2015 price and warranty as if they were active offers
Original testing and practical findings
“It’s been on my bed for 2 weeks and I haven’t noticed any noises from it.”
Ben Trapskin, original review
Free sample disclosure
The original reviewer explicitly disclosed a complimentary Coop pad. The physical sample underlies the hand-feel and fit impressions.
Surface materials and noise
The archived description noted a bamboo/polyester surface intended to feel softer and more breathable than basic plastic-backed protectors. Textile names alone do not establish cooling.
Waterproof claims
The original marketing described a polyurethane barrier and waterproof protection. That is an old product claim, not a test of today’s exact model. Coop’s current Ultra-Tech protector is a different product listing. It specifies a polyester/bamboo-viscose surface and polyurethane backing; Coop says the barrier is not fail-proof, so clean spills promptly. Wash cold and gentle, skip bleach and fabric softener, and tumble dry low. Its published dimensions list 15-inch depth; confirm fit for the chosen size.
Warranty and size
The historical article cited $44.99 for Queen and a 15-year warranty. These are historical figures only. Check current thickness fit and warranty terms before ordering.
Historical observations should not be mistaken for newly collected or standardized performance data.

Frequently asked questions
Will it soften a firm mattress?
A thin pad or protector may change surface texture slightly but generally cannot replace a substantial topper.
Does bamboo guarantee a cool sleep surface?
No. Fabric composition, backing, weave and ambient conditions determine the feel.
Was this item purchased by Yawnder?
No. The original review explicitly reported a free review sample.

I received a free Coop mattress pad for review. Mattress pads are the thankless utilitarian pieces of bedding that don’t get the respect they deserve. Not only can they keep your bed free of any liquids, staining and dust mites but a good one can provide an extra layer of comfort to your bedding ensemble.
Enter the Coop Home Goods Bamboo Mattress Protector. It is a welcome addition to the mattress pad offerings at an affordable price of $44.99 for a Queen size. What sets this mattress pad apart from the competition is the soft bamboo/polyester blend fabric that allows the mattress pad to breathe and keep you cool.

Findings
The Coop Mattress Pad just plain works. What I especially like about it is that it doesn’t have any crinkly noises that some of the cheaper mattress pads have. It’s been on my bed for 2 weeks and I haven’t noticed any noises from it. It also keeps my bed cool. Many people buy mattresses that sleep cool only to put on a mattress pad that doesn’t breathe. This cancels out most of the cooling effects of a mattress. Why do that when you can upgrade at such a good price?

Shop CoopWhat to know before you buy
A mattress pad adds a thin layer of cushioning and protects the mattress surface from sweat, spills, and wear. It's different from a topper (which is thicker and changes the feel of the bed more dramatically) and from a plain protector (which may have a waterproof barrier but usually adds little cushioning). If your mattress feels right but you want easier cleaning and light extra softness, a pad is the right category.
When comparing pads, check the fill (down alternative, cotton, wool), whether it's quilted to keep fill from shifting, the skirt depth (deep-pocket skirts fit thicker mattresses), and whether it's machine washable. Cooling versions use breathable fills or moisture-wicking fabrics, which can help warm sleepers modestly — though a pad won't fix a mattress that sleeps genuinely hot.
Do I need a mattress pad or a topper?
Pad: light cushioning plus protection. Topper: a noticeable change in firmness or feel. If your mattress is too firm or too soft, you want a topper; if it feels fine, a pad is enough.
Will a mattress pad make my bed cooler?
A breathable pad can help a little with surface heat and moisture, but it can't overcome a heat-trapping mattress underneath.
