Mattress Protectors

Extend the Life of Your Mattress with a Mattress Protector

Mattress protectors are designed to extend the life of your mattress and help to keep it clean and stain free. A mattress protector will absorb any moisture and stop it from staining your mattress.

What are the benefits of using a mattress protector?

Firstly, it helps to protect your mattress and keeps it clean. For instance, if you spill your morning cup of coffee, the mattress protector will absorb the liquid and stop it from staining your mattress.

A mattress topper or protector also protects against mould growing on your mattress. You see, in hot climates, people often sweat while they sleep. If this moisture is allowed to come into contact with the mattress, it provides the perfect environment for mould and bacteria to grow. When you use a protective covering on the mattress, this absorbs that excess moisture and stops it from getting into your mattress.

You’ll also be protected from allergens caused by dust or bed bugs when you use a mattress protector. The protector provides a layer between you and the mattress where these allergens live. While we can’t wash the mattress, we can easily wash the mattress protector to keep it nice and clean and fresh.

In fact, a mattress protector is one of the best ways to deal with bed bugs. If there are any bugs in your mattress, they can’t get onto your skin and therefore, they’ll starve and die.

How often should you wash your mattress protector?

If you cover your mattress protector with a fitted sheet, you should only need to wash the protector once every two months. Of course, this depends on whether there has been any spillage of liquids during that time.

Most mattress protectors are machine-washable so this makes the job nice and easy. Just make sure that the protector is completely dry before putting it back on the bed. However, it’s best to dry it naturally outside in the sunshine as most manufacturers do not recommend throwing the mattress protector into the tumble dryer.
