Why Buy A Waterproof Mattress Protector

Mattresses are arguably the most essential form of bedding today, as they can make or break your opportunity to get quality sleep. Protection for them are just as essential, due to a mattress’ standing as a long-term investment that we expect to use for years. This is where a waterproof mattress protector comes in.

 

The essential role of mattress protectors

As with other parts of the house, your bed - specifically your mattress - is vulnerable to accidents and mishaps. Whether it is your habit of eating and drinking in bed, your little tot wetting the mattress due to his or her potty struggles, or a dirty pet with wet paws, the need for a waterproof mattress protector to safeguard your mattress is all too clear.

“A mattress protector acts as an extra barrier between the sleeper and the bed to reduce the likelihood that a simple mishap could spell disaster,” said Sleep Foundation in its website sleepfoundation.org of the protectors’ indispensability. “Mattress protectors can typically be removed and washed, thereby shielding the bed from allergens, dirt, and damage while also making it easier to maintain a clean and fresh sleep surface.”

While mattress protectors, waterproof and otherwise, are often used simultaneously with mattress toppers, both products still have distinctive roles.

“A mattress topper helps change the feel of and comfort of your bed, whereas a mattress protector extends the lifespan of your mattress by fighting off stains, allergens, sweat, and more,” noted the healthline.com website. “These two items should be used in conjunction for the best results.”


Reasons to get a mattress protector

  • Hygiene

    A waterproof mattress protector ensures the longevity of your mattress by protecting it against a variety of waste, whether it be natural or bodily waste.

    “Your mattress protector acts as a separator between your body’s vulnerability and the health risks it accumulates day and night. Your moisture, dead skin, sweat, food crumbs, dust, mites, mold are the issues that can affect your mattress hygiene,” said KingKoil India. They highlighted the need for hygiene, as the average person rests or sleeps for 8 to 10 hours a day on their mattress.

  • Checks allergens

    Most mattresses, apart from those made of hypoallergenics like memory foams or latex foams, are known to be vulnerable to allergens like bed bugs, dead skin flakes, dust or pollen. This highlights the need for a mattress protector.

    “[Mattress protectors are] beneficial to people prone to allergies, as a sweaty mattress is a breeding ground for bacteria, germs and mites,” said healthline.com. Sleep Foundation backed up this premise.

    “A [mattress] protector could stop many allergens from reaching the bed. Most protectors are machine washable, so you can easily freshen up the sleep surface and remove allergens that accumulate,” asserted the website. “Even if your mattress already contains allergens, the right mattress protector might help isolate them so that they don’t interfere with your sleep.”

  • Improving mattress longevity

    As its name implies, a good waterproof mattress protector can go a long way in ensuring the longevity of your mattress and ensuring your comfort and hygiene while taking a snooze.

    “A waterproof protector can prolong the life of a mattress by preventing damaging liquids from reaching the bed. Moisture can foster mold growth, cause stains, and deteriorate the material, thus jeopardizing comfort and hygiene,” said Sleep Foundation. healthline.com agreed. “[mattress protectors] can extend the lifespan of your mattress…[and] can spare you the trouble of cleaning your mattress frequently.”

  • Cost effectiveness

    Mattress protectors are indispensable, as they “typically cost significantly less than a new mattress, they can be a cost-effective way to prolong the life of your bed so that you don’t have to replace it as often,” noted Sleep Foundation.

    KingKoil India backed this premise. “Buying a mattress and then its protector for 5-10% or less of the original cost to save from fixing, repairing, servicing, or other cleanliness fees may seem high upfront but is better in the long-term. That's why buying a mattress protector saves you from countless hours of woe in addressing these issues and more to protect your more considerable investment,” they said. “And if anything goes wrong with the protector, it is easier to replace it than replace your mattress for superficial damage.”

  • Ease of cleaning

    As a sturdy, lightweight item, mattress protectors are not only efficient, they are easy to clean. Sleep Foundation noted that “they are generally machine-washable for easy cleaning,” an opinion shared by KingKoil India.
    “A luxury mattress protector enhances your mattress's durability and waterproofs it, but it may need cleaning from time to time. So, any liquid spills, moisture collection, and other dirt can stay in the mattress protector rather than seep down the first few layers,” the website said. “Washing it gets rid of such elements only to be made fresh and new for more protection for your mattress.”

    They added that since “the materials used in a mattress protector are built to withstand regular washing and cleaning from different damage forms. Be it water spillage, moisture-collection or dust, pet fur, or other element, and it is easier and better to clean the protector than your mattress.”

  • Warranty

    Aside from their light weight, durability and ease of cleaning, the warranty that comes with mattress protectors should help you sleep easy as well.

    “Many mattress protectors come with warranties that provide recourse if a qualifying defect occurs. Most warranty policies [also] come at no additional charge,” observed Sleep Foundation.

    On its part, KingKoil India noted that mattress protectors “indirectly enhances [the mattress’] warranty, ”which are liable to be nullified “in case of accidental, intentional, or ignorance of maintenance tips…you only need to wash or clean the protector instead of experimenting with the mattress,” they asserted, since “a mattress protector does most of your work without voiding the warranty.”
