Buying a good mattress is very important for a healthy and relaxing good night’s sleep. You want to take your time with the purchase since it is so important and usually also means quite some investment. Once you have found the perfect mattress , you want it to stay clean , protected , and in shape for a long time. Mattresses are larger items that you cannot stuff into your washing machine to clean them.

To help your mattress stay fresh and clean and reduce wear and tear , a mattress protector is the best choice for you. They are quickly put on and removed again and most times can be washed in the washing machine very easily. Investing in a mattress protector and washing as well as renewing it regularly , can help you save money in the long run because it protects your mattress from spills , sweat , nightly accidents and the usual wear and tear from using your mattress every night.

Sizes

Always make sure to measure your mattress when shopping for a mattress protector or topper to be sure you order the correct size. Like with our mattress toppers , we offer mattress protectors in several common , standard sizes. These sizes are approximately the same as our mattress sizes:

• Single protectors are appr. 90 x 190 cm
• Small Double protectors are appr. 120 x 190 cm
• Double protectors are appr. 135 x 190 cm
• Kingsize protectors are appr. 150 x 200 cm
• Super Kingsize protectors are appr. 180 x 200 cm

Material & Special Features

Most of the mattress protectors sold on Shop Mattress Protectors are of the fitted type. They are put onto the mattress like a fitted bed sheet. Your actual sheet – flat or fitted – is placed on top of the protector.

If you prefer your protector to be made of natural material , we offer mattress protectors made of 100% cotton. Also check out cotton blend protectors or our synthetic ones made of polyester.

For properties like hypoallergenic , machine washable , waterproof , or bed bug protection , use the "Feature " filter to find the mattress protector that is the best fit for your needs.

Mattress Toppers

While your new mattress protector offers an additional layer of protection for your mattress , it usually is not very thick and does not offer a lot of extra bulk for additional firmness or softness. If you are not 100% happy with the comfort your mattress provides , have a look at our range of mattress toppers and see if it helps before you invest in a new mattress.

You can use a topper and a mattress protector together. Just strap the topper onto your mattress , fit the mattress protector on top of it and cover everything with a flat or fitted bed sheet.

Once you have decided which mattress protector to buy and how to construct the different layers of your bed , also browse our other bed & bath and bedroom furniture categories and have a look at our other bedroom accessories like bed linen , pillows , nightstands , or mattresses.

Sweet Dreams!
