  I think most mattresses have wipe-able surfaces like this one......I know mine does.  I don't understand the point of mattress pads/protectors for these, either.

  I got a couple of Ultimate Crib Sheets to try because they actually go on top of the sheet, not underneath.  We'll see how it works out, since I've read mixed reviews.  There are other products that go on top of the sheet as well, which are for the purpose of protecting the sheets themselves from blowouts and other ick....not so much mattress related.

  I think you still need a mattress pad/cover.  Putting a sheet directly over mattress feels icky to me and with the baby mattresses the sheet slides and feels cold.

  Sheet savers go over the crib sheet.

  I love the sheet savers.  I use these not to protect mattress but the sheets themselves.  It is really a pain in the butt to change the whole sheet, and for the first several months your baby will most likely lay in the same spot for the entire night.  I place my sons face/head on the saver and if he spits up or drools, I only have to change the saver.  Since his only skin touching the crib is essentially the face, I change the sheet saver 1-2 times a week and only change the entire sheet once every 2-3 weeks since it never gets dirty.

  I got a couple of sheet savers but never actually used them. They were in the crib before LO was transitioned there, but afterwards I took them out because I was paranoid that he would somehow get his head under them and suffocate himself. If you are supposed to put them on under the sheets, I don't think these would've fit that way.
