Mattress protectors are a great way to protect your mattress from stains and moisture which will help preserve your investment. We all sweat at night so preventing excess moisture from penetrating into your mattress is always a good idea.
If you have children or pets, a mattress protector will also protect your mattress from unfortunate accidents. Fitted sheet style mattress protectors go over the top of your mattress and they are easy to take off and wash.
Full zippered mattress encasements are great for protecting your mattress from bed bugs as they zip all around the mattress.
Since mattress protectors are waterproof, they are not very breathable. This takes away from the cooling benefits your mattress may have. However, there are a lot of options on the market for protectors which claim to be more breathable using special technology to allow them to also be waterproof!
