Are mattress protectors necessary? Yes, you need one

by Marketing Team 07 Oct 2022

If you've purchased a mattress recently, you've probably given a lot of thought to the protection and durability of your mattress. So how can you protect your mattress from allergens and food debris without sacrificing comfort and breathability?


Our mattress protectors are ideal for this!

What is a mattress protector?

A mattress protector is a removable protective layer that covers your mattress and protects it from bacteria, spills, and irritants like dead skin, mold, dust mites, and bed bugs. It blocks moisture and allows for easy cleaning and drying after spills.

A mattress topper is somewhat similar to a protector and is designed to provide you with more comfort.

Let us now take a closer look at why a mattress protector is recommended.

Do I need a mattress protector?


If you are still one of those undecided people who would rather go to a store and consider them as optional bedding, then you should read this post carefully until the end.

There are some compelling reasons why protectors are a necessity if you use your mattress regularly and enjoy a good night's sleep. Here are the reasons.

Protection against stains and spills:
Whether you're a pet parent, have a toddler at home, or are just clumsy with food on the bed, you're no stranger to stains and urine. However, you don't have the time or inclination to clean the mattress or wash the mattress cover every time these accidents happen. And if you just leave these stains lying around, the mattress could become a breeding ground for harmful organisms.

A great way to avoid this disaster is to cover your mattress with a waterproof protector that is easy to clean and dry without staining your bed. If you want to wash your protective cover, you can machine wash it in warm or cold water with a bleach-free detergent and then tumble dry.

Protection against wear and tear:
With regular use, your mattress may show signs of wear and tear, especially on the outer cover. No matter how disciplined you are, the cover will eventually get dirty and over time you may also notice small tears in the corners. You can prevent this by equipping your mattress with a high-quality mattress protector, which will provide additional protection to the surface and ensure that the mattress lasts longer.

Protection against allergens:
Did you know that dust mites are one of the most common allergens found in the home? Mattresses are breeding grounds for these pesky mites that feed on our skin flakes. You can combat them by buying a good mattress protector. A used mattress can contain between 100,000 and 10 million dust mites.
To ensure 100% safety, you should buy a mattress protector that covers your mattress on all sides and gives you the most protection possible. You can also buy a box spring cover to increase your protection from these allergens. There are various allergy and asthma-friendly pillow and mattress covers that you can invest in to keep dust mites away from your bed. You can also wash your blankets, pillowcases and sheets weekly at 60 degrees.

Protection against bed bugs:
Nobody likes to be sucked dry in the middle of the night. But without a mattress protector, your body is an ideal breeding ground for bed bugs, which prefer human blood as a host and therefore repeatedly nest on mattresses and pillows. When purchasing a mattress protector, be sure to check that it is resistant to bed bugs and will prevent these tiny creatures from harming you.

It is best to check the label to see if your protector is effective against bed bugs and if it has been certified by an entomological laboratory.

Now that you know why mattress protectors are an essential purchase, let's take a look at the different styles.

Types of mattress protectors

There are different types of mattress protectors depending on the purpose and requirements.

Stretched:
They are similar to the fitted sheets that are spread out on your bed. They do not cover the entire mattress, but only the top and sides. They are available in synthetic and organic fiber materials.

They are usually waterproof and protect your mattress from feces, stains, vomit and bacteria. They are very easy to put on and take off. You can easily clean them.

With zipper
These covers protect the bed from all sides and are perfect for fighting bed bugs and allergens. Another plus point is that you can use them both indoors and outdoors.

If you're camping outside, you can simply place it over your mattress to protect it from the weather. And if you're the kind of person who's constantly tossing and turning, you don't have to worry about the cover slipping off.

For mattress protectors with zippers, avoid materials such as vinyl or plastic as they may hinder air circulation.
