Mattress Protector NZ - Buying Guide
What is a Mattress Protector?
A mattress protector is a removable bedding layer designed to protect and extend the life of your mattress. A mattress protector sits on or covers your mattress to protect it from accidents and spills. Mattress protectors also help keep both your bed and bedding feeling fresher for longer.
How to Choose a Mattress Protector
There are many types of mattress protector to choose from including pure cotton protectors, memory foam toppers, mattress pads, mattress covers and waterproof protectors. Choose a mattress protector that is comfortable and best suits your needs. We recommend choosing a mattress protector that is made from natural, breathable fabrics such as cotton and that is washable and easy to keep clean for the best results.
How to use a Mattress Protector
A mattress protector is used directly on top of your mattress. To make your bed with a mattress protector, remove all bedding so you’re left with a bare mattress.
Start by laying your mattress protector on top of your mattress. Then fit the corner straps around your mattress or tuck in the elasticated skirt so your mattress protector is sitting snugly in place.
Remake your bed as you usually would with a fitted sheet next and so on. Wash your mattress protector regularly when laundering your sheets.
NZ Mattress Protector FAQs
What is the point of a mattress protector?
The point of a mattress protector is to protect and extend the life of your mattress and to protect against accidents and spills.
What is the difference between a mattress protector and mattress cover?
A mattress protector typically protects only the top of your mattress, whereas a mattress cover encases the entire mattress.
Can I use a mattress pad instead of a protector?
A mattress pad usually adds a thicker layer of comfort to your bed. A mattress pad will offer some protection for your mattress, depending on the material it’s made from and whether or not it is breathable and washable. A mattress protector is a thinner, usually quilted layer designed to keep your mattress fresh whilst not adding significant padding to your mattress.
Do mattress toppers protect your mattress?
Mattress toppers will offer some protection for your mattress depending on the material the topper is made from and the fill used. An organic cotton topper is natural, breathable and washable but we would still recommend using a cotton mattress protector over an organic cotton or feather mattress topper.
Mattress Protector - Caring Tips
Caring properly for your mattress protector will keep it feeling fresher for longer. We recommend washing our Wallace Cotton Mattress Protector before the first use in a cold machine wash with a mild detergent. Line dry in shade or cool tumble dry before placing on your bed. Do not bleach or soak.
