It is comprised of 100 percent polyester non-woven fabric with a vinyl inner waterproof layer. The three layers have been heat-sealed together in a quilted pattern. The item has rounded corners. The edges are finished with an overlock stitch. Although referred to as a pad this item is not stuffed or fitted.
