How to choose the right mattress protector

Having a mattress protector on your bed is the best way to look after your mattress as it creates a barrier between you and the surface of your mattress. The first thing you should consider when choosing the right mattress protector is what type you want. Mattress protectors come in three different options, fitted, strapped and encasements. Whilst fitted and strapped protectors will keep your mattress free of spills and accidents, if you want to protect your mattress against bed bugs, dust mites or any other pests then it’s worth buying an encasement protector. 

Encasements protect all six sides of a mattress, this is usually done by zipping the mattress in which effectively seals it and helps to get rid of bed bugs and other pests as well as stopping any new infestations from starting. 

Also, the type of material your mattress protector is made from can make a difference. If you’re a hot sleeper then looking for a protector made from cotton or Tencel which are natural fabrics known for their breathability and moisture-wicking properties. But polyurethane or vinyl are other popular mattress protector materials as they offer a waterproofing which is handy if you want to protect your mattress surface against liquids such as accidents and spills. Make sure to look out for other features such as hypoallergenic and cooling properties too as these can make a huge difference to how well you sleep. 

Before you order your mattress protector, always measure your mattress, your protector should have a snug fit, if it’s loose and baggy then you’re going to feel uncomfortable and it won’t offer the same level of protection. Mattress protectors do vary in price with fitted and strapped protectors being cheaper than encasements  but they are generally quite cheap so they won't break the bank, and they are cheaper than buying a new mattress. So like we always recommend when buying a new mattress, try to buy the best your budget will allow for.
