Ely's & Co. Changing Pad Cover 2 Pack - 100% Jersey Cotton - Grey Chevron and Polka Dots Review (2026)

Flexible elastic built for a range of pad sizes

This two pack is built around a generous elastic edge that the maker says is designed to stretch and grip a range of changing pad and cradle mattress sizes rather than one exact fit, with the elastic reaching several inches deep on each side. Ely's & Co. lists the cover as suited to pads and cradle mattresses up to roughly 36 by 18 inches, which covers most standard changing table toppers as well as bassinet and cradle mattresses of a similar footprint, including some Graco Travel Lite crib mattresses. That flexible sizing is useful in a small nursery where the changing surface might be a dresser topper today and a travel crib pad on a trip next month, since the same covers can move between them instead of needing a second set.

100% jersey cotton feel

The covers are made from 100% jersey knit cotton, a soft, stretchy knit that feels similar to a well worn t-shirt against the skin, which is part of why the fabric has enough give to stretch over a mattress corner. Jersey cotton is breathable, so it will not trap heat against a baby's back the way a vinyl or laminated cover can, though that same breathability means the fabric itself offers no moisture barrier. The maker describes the texture as smooth and inviting, aimed at keeping a baby comfortable during a change rather than acting as a protective layer, so parents dealing with frequent leaks or messy changes should plan on a separate liner underneath rather than relying on the jersey cotton alone.

Grey chevron and polka dots for a neutral nursery

The two pack pairs a grey chevron print with a grey polka dot print, both staying in a gender neutral grey and white palette that suits a nursery decorated before knowing the baby's sex or one meant to work for more than one child over time. The two different patterns make it simple to tell which cover is currently in use versus freshly washed, and the busier prints tend to hide light staining better day to day than a plain solid white cover would. Parents who prefer a calmer, less patterned look should note that both prints in this particular set lean toward busier geometric designs rather than a solid color option.

Not a waterproof cover

Because the fabric is 100% jersey cotton rather than a laminated or PUL backed material, this cover is not waterproof, so a diaper leak or a spit up during a change can soak through to the changing pad itself rather than being contained by the cover. That is a normal trade-off for a soft cotton cover and is common across many jersey knit changing pad covers on the market, but it does mean the pad underneath needs its own wipeable surface or a disposable liner for real leak protection. Parents specifically shopping for a fully waterproof, one-layer solution should look at a waterproof cradle sheet style product instead, while this set works well as the soft top layer over a wipeable pad.

Who should buy this set

This two pack is a solid pick for parents who want a soft, breathable, grey toned cover that can stretch to fit more than one pad or mattress size, whether that is a dresser topper now or a travel crib mattress later. The flexible elastic sizing makes it a reasonable choice in a small space where the changing surface might change over time, and having two prints in one neutral palette keeps laundry simple without clashing with the rest of the nursery. Anyone dealing with frequent leaks should add a separate wipeable liner underneath, since the jersey cotton itself is not waterproof and is meant for comfort rather than moisture protection.
