New mattresses are not cheap; they are an investment and something you will spend nearly 1/3 of your life laying on! Therefore, it is crucial to keep your investment protected.

Mattress protectors do many things, but ultimately, they protect the quality and longevity of your mattress. When selecting mattress protectors, you need to keep a few things in mind:

• • How much does it cost?


• • Is it machine-washable?


• • Is it hypoallergenic?


• • What type of enclosure is it?


• • How well does it handle spills and stains?

If you consider those five questions when shopping for a mattress protector, you’ll be sure to find one that best suits your needs.

What to Consider When Buying a Mattress Protector

A mattress pad is like a fitted sheet - it wraps around your mattress to help protect it from spills and stains and can add comfort. Mattress protectors also help keep your mattress warranty for as long as possible. Below are some things to consider when buying a mattress protector.

Prevention and Protection

Typically, a mattress protector will protect the following

• • Liquid stains and damage


• • Bed bugs


• • Dust mites and allergens


• • Stabilize body temperature


• • Keep the mattress clean and dry


• • Increase the life of your mattress


• • Pet dander

Materials

Mattress protectors come in different types of materials that you can choose from. Some mattress protectors can come in more than one material - a blend. Some materials include:

• • Poliéster


• • Cotton


• • Down


• • Vinilo


• • Poliuretano

Polyurethane and vinyl are materials that are considered waterproof and are often used for a waterproof mattress protector.

Size and Care

Mattress protectors come in different sizes, just like your mattress, and you can even find protectors to cover a crib or mini-crib mattress. If you believe that you will need to clean your mattress protector frequently, you may opt for a machine washable and dryer-friendly protector. One thing to consider is that when drying the mattress protector, keep it on a lower heat as too high heat can damage the waterproof membrane. It is also important to read the care instructions that come with the mattress protector.
