My inclination is for 100% cotton all the way but when DS starts potty training I expect a waterproof cover will be handy. Just worried he will get sweaty with the polyester and propylene. Or would a pampers mat under the sheet suffice (with a nice soft cotton mattress cover under as well of course). I did search for similar threads but not they weren't quite the same question.

Polypropylene is not nice to sleep on it can be hot and noisy so not recommended. Polyurethane is breathable and quiet to lie on so a protector that uses it would be OK.

We use 2, 1 on the mattress, 1 in the wash, it is machine washable, tumble dry cotton terry top with polyurethane backing. It is this one
