Mattress Pad?

We just purchased a Naturepedic Lightweight Organic Cotton Classic 2 Stage mattress.  It says it's waterproof.  Do we still need a mattress pad?

    Our mattress is waterproof but I still plan on using a pad. I sweat terribly at night and having a summer baby I'm afraid she may as well. The pad is more of a buffer between the plastic and the sheet so she doesn't get as hot and sticky.

    I agree, I'd still get a pad so LO doesn't get all hot and sticky especially since most crib sheets are so thin. I know I get hot and sweaty napping on a leather couch for too long, imagine how plastic would feel.

    My son has a waterproof mattress (and has since he came home from the hospital a year ago), and I have never had a problem not using mattress pads at all. Waste of money and unnecessary laundry IMO.

    ours is too but we have 2 mattress pads b/c of accidents at night/during naps/etc. - figured it was worth the cost to make life easier!  Plus we have a convertible crib so LO will be using it for awhile!  I used coupons from BRU...

    Without a pad, the moisture is absorbed by baby's clothes.  With a pad, it helps to pull some of that away from baby's skin.  The waterproof part is more for convenience of cleaning up afterwards.

    I still plan on using a mattress pad.  I use the carter's deluxe one at BRU.
