What is a mattress protector?
A mattress protector consists of a thin material designed to act as a buffer between your mattress and bed sheet, guarding against dust mites, bacteria, odours and spills. Protectors are designed like fitted sheets and add extra protection and comfort to your bed.
Do I need a mattress protector?
Although a mattress protector is optional, investing in one is highly recommended. Compared to the cost of replacing your mattress, a mattress protector is a small price to pay for years of sustained protection. After all, your mattress should last between seven and ten years.
Maintains a hygienic sleeping environment
While you sleep, your body releases sweat and oils and sheds dead skin cells. Though this often goes unnoticed, these elements can seep into your mattress over time if not protected. Additionally, spills, inevitable sooner or later, can further damage your mattress without proper protection.
Dust mite barrier
Dust mites are the literal definition of 'bed bugs'. They are minute pests that thrive on dead human skin cells and in warm, humid settings. Unfortunately, they reside in the majority of homes and, by extension, beds. However, a mattress protector offers excellent allergy protection and serves as a dust mite barrier.
Enhanced comfort
A high-quality mattress protector, like those made from bamboo or cotton, can enhance your bed's comfort, ensuring you enjoy a restful sleep night after night.
Extends mattress lifespan
As you might expect, using a mattress protector helps to prolong the life of your mattress by shielding it from moisture, dead skin cells, and dust mites.

The best of bamboo
The Bamboo Premier Protector truly is a game-changer, and it features many amazing properties, which are discussed in greater depth below; it's the bamboo properties that make the protector stand out. The clever bamboo-infused fabric helps to regulate temperature by wicking away moisture and creating an ideal sleep environment regardless of the season. If this wasn't enough, the material is also hypoallergenic, anti-mocrobial and odour-resistant.
Waterproof technology
Every protector within the collection features clever waterproof technology to combat spillages and accidents. Therefore, there is no need to panic if you spill a glass of water as it won't reach the mattress's surface.
Dust mite and allergen blocker
Dust mites and bed bugs are something we referred to above; however, fear not, all of our protectors are designed to combat these pests. If this is a particular concern to you, check out our Zip Shield Protector, which, as the name suggests, features a zip in order to encase your mattress and provide the ultimate defence.
Fitted sheet style
Many of our protectors incorporate a fitted sheet style, ensuring it remains firmly in place throughout the night.
Simple maintenance
Even after more than 200 washes, you can rely on long-lasting quality whilst all of our protectors are machine-washable and tumble dry-ready.
