A mattress protector is the most popular these days. The reason is their attractive and decorative look. Everyone has a bed at their home. A bedroom is a focal point in the house, and a mattress is a focal point in your bed. So, do you ever think about what will happen when you leave your mattress open?

As a result, it attracts lots of dust, dirt, germs, insects, scratches, stains, spills, moistures, and more that may reduce its lifespan. Therefore, using a Waterproof Mattress Protector is an ideal way to provide complete protection. In addition, a protector is an ideal way to transform your interior into an attractive way.

This protector provides complete protection to your mattress from a variety of harms and damages. Along with all these things, it also provides comfort and improves your health as well. These protectors are available in a variety of colors, designs, and patterns.

Tips to Choose a Mattress Protector

Using a mattress without a mattress cover is the equivalent of using an exclusive smartphone without a case. A protector is a separable layer of bedding that protects and covers your mattress. First, let's take a look at everything that accumulates on your mattress over time:

Ø  Dust and dust mites

Ø  Particles of food

Ø  Skin cells that have died

Ø  Perspiration and moisture

Ø  Allergens and germs

A waterproof mattress cover shields your mattress from all of these things, ensuring that it is safe to sleep. It also stops your mattress from wearing out and keeps it looking new, allowing it to last longer.

Protector's Size

Here are a few sizes of the protector for your mattress from where you can select for yourself as per your requirements.

Ø  King Size: 6 feet x 6 feet (72 inches x 72 inches)

Ø  Queen Size: 5 feet x 6 feet (60 inches x 72 inches)

Ø  Single Bed Size: 4 feet x 6 feet (48 inches x 72 inches)

Fabric's Materials

1.    Cotton

Texture – Soft, cushiony, and chilly.

Reasons to choose: Because it's breathable, which means it absorbs and releases moisture rapidly, causing you to sweat less. It's also easy to wash, eco-friendly, suitable for all seasons, and the most natural for your skin.

2.    Polyester

Texture – Satiny, slightly thinner, and warm.

Reasons to choose: Moisture and weather-resistant, easy to handle, likes to heat up, but its elasticity (i.e. capacity to spring back after each wash) keeps it light and cool.

3.    Vinyl

Texture – Same as leather or plastic and frigid.

Reasons to choose: Moisture, damage, and stain-resistant, incredibly durable, snugly fits your mattress, and can be cleaned by just washing them off.

4.    Terry

Texture – It is soft, smooth, and noise-free.

Reasons to choose: Protects from all the damages, is durable, fits your mattress easily, and can wash easily by using a damp cloth or directly wash in normal water.

Ways to Hold Your Bed

Features – Reasonable, requires little to no work to put on your mattress, but it may come undone if you toss and turn while sleeping.

Zippered: Holds your mattress in place and closes with a zip.

Features – Fully encase and protects the mattress; resilient; requires a harder material, such as vinyl, to handle the zip.

Elastic: The protector's straps catch all four corners of your bed and keep it in place.

Features – Works well with cotton or cotton top protectors, is quite comfortable, and does not come undone.

Types of Protectors

Ø  Quilted: Adds extra comfort to your mattress by keeping the fibers in place and uniformly dispersed.

Ø  Non-Quilted: Prevents dust from collecting in the stitched corners, keeps it aligned with the bedsheet, and is crease-free.

Breathability

It indicates that your mattress is comfortable or not. It means airflow by the fabric. If your mattress protector is breathable, then it remains comfortable and cool.
