Buying a Mattress Protector
As the name suggests, mattress protectors provide a shield against liquid, dust, dirt, stains, sweat and allergens so they don’t make it through to the underlying mattress and/or box spring. The right mattress protector can add years to the life of your mattress.
Important features to consider:
- Moisture-repelling material. For bed-wetting children or adults who like their morning coffee in bed, a waterproof mattress protector can save the day when accidents happen.
- Fabric content. Cotton is breathable, wool extra warm and synthetics more affordable.
- Hypoallergenic. Especially important for allergy suffers.
- Comfort. Desirable features include fleece linings, quilted top layers, moisture-wicking technology and fitted-sheet style design to avoid bunching.
- Eco-Friendly. Look for sustainable and organic fibers like cotton, wool, bamboo and eucalyptus.
- Zippered encasements. Ideal for blocking dust mites, bedbugs and other allergens that can trigger asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
- Fit. Choose a protector that’s the same size as your mattress. Don’t forget to check mattress depth.
