Mattresses for Back Sleepers Protectors

If you sleep on your back, your mattress needs to support the natural curve of your spine — firm enough that your hips don't sink, with just enough give to fill the gap at your lower back. That's why back sleepers do best on our medium and medium-firm mattresses, which balance support and contouring across foam, hybrid, euro-top and tight-top builds. We carry hundreds of back-sleeper-friendly models from every brand — Sealy, Serta, Beautyrest, Tempur-Pedic, iComfort, Stearns & Foster, Chirofoam and our own NM line — from about $59 to premium. Every mattress includes a 365-night sleep trial and free delivery across Canada. • Why it matters: back sleeping needs support that keeps the spine neutral and fills the lumbar curve • Best feel for back sleepers: medium to medium-firm (support without sinking) • Works across builds: foam, hybrid, euro-top and tight-top • Hundreds of options across every brand, from about $59 to premium • Prefer firmer support, or sleep with back pain?

How to Choose the Right Mattress Protector

A mattress protector is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of your mattress and maintain a hygienic sleep environment. The right protector blocks spills, sweat, dust mites, and allergens from reaching your mattress — without trapping heat or adding noise. At National Mattress, our 40+ protectors range from budget-friendly waterproof covers to premium natural wool options, all designed to fit mattresses up to 18–20” deep and work seamlessly on adjustable bases.

Start by deciding which surface material suits your sleep style: cotton terry absorbs moisture and feels soft against the skin, Tencel™ (cool-touch) wicks heat for temperature-sensitive sleepers, quilted microfibre adds a plush comfort layer, organic bamboo offers natural breathability, and wool regulates temperature year-round. All waterproof models use a thin TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) membrane rather than vinyl — this keeps the protector noiseless and breathable while blocking 100% of liquids. Using a protector is also strongly recommended to help preserve your mattress warranty, since stains from spills or moisture can void manufacturer coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mattress Protectors

Do I really need a mattress protector?
Yes. A mattress protector shields against spills, sweat, dust mites, and allergens that accumulate over time and can void your manufacturer’s warranty. It also keeps foam and coil layers clean, helping your mattress maintain its comfort and support for years. Read our full guide on why a protector matters.
Will a waterproof mattress protector make my bed feel hot or noisy?
Modern protectors use thin TPU waterproof membranes instead of vinyl, so they stay breathable and silent. For extra cooling, choose a Tencel™ cool-touch or organic bamboo model — both wick moisture and promote airflow while maintaining full waterproof protection.
What size mattress protector do I need?
Match the protector to your mattress size (Single/Twin, Twin XL, Double/Full, Queen, or King) and check the pocket depth. Most National Mattress protectors fit mattresses up to 18–20” deep, accommodating standard and pillow-top profiles. Measure your mattress height to confirm the best fit.
What is the difference between a mattress protector, pad, and topper?
A protector is a thin, waterproof barrier that guards against spills and allergens without changing the feel of your mattress. A pad adds a thin comfort layer, while a topper significantly alters firmness. Most sleepers should start with a protector first.
How often should I wash my mattress protector?
Wash your protector every 1–2 months under normal use, or immediately after spills. All National Mattress protectors are machine washable — tumble dry on low heat to preserve the waterproof membrane. Avoid bleach and high-heat drying, which can degrade the TPU layer over time.
Do mattress protectors ship free across Canada?
National Mattress offers free express delivery across Canada on orders over $199. For protectors under $199, a $45 delivery surcharge applies — or you can combine with a mattress, pillows, or sleep bundle to reach the free shipping threshold.
