Why You Should Use A Mattress Protector

As the one responsible for providing restful sleep, you will want to keep your mattress clean and in good shape. That is where a mattress protector – a thin layer that fits tightly beneath your sheets – comes in handy. It functions like a second bed sheet, covering and safeguarding your mattress while adding a layer of extra padding for enhanced comfort. If you are not already using one, here are several reasons why you need a mattress protector.

Keep your mattress clean longer

Users who sleep hot often experience night sweats. Without a water-resistant barrier, the moisture can seep deep into the bedding, fostering a damp, warm environment for micro-organisms, like mould and mildew, to thrive. A waterproof mattress protector can safeguard your bed from sweat and any accidental spills, ensuring your mattress remains clean, stain-free, and hygienic for longer.

Safeguard against allergies and dust

Often, a simple fitted sheet is insufficient to keep allergens, such as dust and pollen out, as they can still sneak through the fabric and mix your body’s sweat and oils to create the ideal environment for bacteria and dust mites to thrive. A hypoallergenic mattress protector provides added protection, preventing allergens, dampness, and other elements from penetrating the bed.

Offer additional comfort

Naturally, you will want your bed to be as comfortable as possible to ensure rejuvenating sleep so that you wake up feeling refreshed. Quality mattress protectors can provide an extra layer of cushion, enhancing your comfort for a good night’s sleep.

Taking Care Of Your Mattress Protector

How often should you wash your mattress protector?

Dust and grime will accumulate on your mattress protector over time. As such, it is paramount to wash it regularly to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. As a rule of thumb, you should wash your mattress protector at least once a month.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. You may consider a different washing schedule in these particular scenarios:

• If you or a family member is sensitive to allergens, like dust mites, pollen, or pet dander, it is advisable to wash the mattress protector more frequently – every other week – to ensure that you breath more comfortably in bed.
• If the mattress protector is fitted on a guest bed that is not used regularly, you don’t have to wash it every month. However, you will still need to clean it every few months to prevent dust from accumulating.
• If you accidentally spill something on your bed, you will need to wash the sheets and the mattress cover immediately to prevent staining.

How to take care of your mattress protector?

Follow the proper guidelines below to maximise the lifespan of your mattress protector:

• Launder the mattress protector as soon as you take it out of its packaging before putting it on your bed to eliminate odours and soften the material.
• Wash the mattress protector in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid scalding water, as it can weaken the waterproofing material and make it less effective.
• Always use non-bleach, mild detergent. Harsh chemicals can damage the mattress protector’s plastic membrane or the binding material.
• Tumble dry on low heat in the dryer or hang dry the mattress protector to safeguard its vinyl backing.
• Avoid dry cleaning the mattress protector, as it cannot withstand extreme heat.

When to replace your mattress protector?

It is time to replace your mattress protector if you spot visible signs of wear and tear, such as holes, tatters, or worn areas. Even if the mattress protector remains pristine on the surface, replacing it every 1 to 2 years is still recommended to ensure your bed remains protected, as not all damage is immediately visible.
