Where can I find a good flexible stretchy cotton cover for my 11" DIY King mattress? I'd like one that encases the mattress (to protect the latex and PU foam) and has a three- or four-sided zipper. I know FBM has 8" (max 9") terry covers but I need an 11" King cover.

SLAB also lists a terry cotton one http://www.sleeplikeabear.com/product/COV-TRF-NQT  Their website says it is out of stock but I would call to confirm.  Once before I was checking on an item with them that was listed out of stock and in fact they had it so it is worth a phone call.

Here is the link to a 12" one from the same place I bought my cover:

Not sure if they have an 11" one, but for how tight mine fits, you should be OK if you buy the 12" cover and only stuff it with 11 inches of foam.

The cover is OK.  I just found it odd that the zipper is on the bottom.  It made it kind of hard to get everything aligned and zipped up in the case.  I would rather have the zipper on top, so I can use the case to help align the foam, plus make the zippering easier.  I also found the dimensions to be a bit small, which also added to the difficulty trying to zip everything up.  Small in the 76 x 80 dimension, not the thickness.

I looked at the sleepez one but $305 plus $50 in shipping was too rich for my blood.  I can build my kid a bed for that price...lol
