Not Just For Kids: 7 Reasons Everyone Needs A Waterproof Mattress Protector

When most people hear about “waterproof mattress protectors”, they immediately think of potty-training toddlers or accident-prone kids. While these bed covers are an absolute must-have for children, it is not just for children who benefit from them. Everyone, from students to retirees, can benefit from using a mattress protector. These powerful and useful covers are often overlooked yet can be very helpful in safeguarding your investment or might even improve your overall sleep hygiene. 

Here is a quick look at seven good reasons to get a waterproof mattress cover for every bed in your home.

1. Protect Your Investment

Mattresses and beds can be very expensive, especially if you choose an extra-large California king bed or a deluxe mattress designed to improve your posture. All mattresses are very difficult to clean and can easily become dirty. A bare mattress is also very likely to become stained by spills, sweat, and accidents, and will become infested with allergens, bed bugs, and bacteria shortly after you start using it.

Mattress protectors will act as a barrier that keeps spills, sweat, dust, allergens, and other messes off the mattress. This will keep your expensive mattress looking and smelling great for much longer, and your investment will be protected.

2. Prevent Allergens and Dust Mites

Quality bed protectors are hypoallergenic since they are made from natural materials and usually have a tight weave pattern. These covers are designed to block allergens like dust mites, pet dander, mould spores, and pollen, so these contaminants won’t settle in your mattress fibres. This can be a huge help for those with allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin because you can easily wash the cover and clear away these microbes that might cause allergies to flare up.

3. Defends Mattresses Against Sweat and Body Fluids

Our bodies can secrete a lot of fluids in the form of oils from our skin or sweat when we sleep. You are especially likely to sweat a lot during the summer or when you are running a fever. Over this time, this moisture will seep into your mattress and can create bad odours and yellow stains all over the bed. 

A waterproof bed cover will capture all of the sweat and body oils, so it won’t reach the mattress. These protectors are also easy to keep fresh and clean since they are machine washable.

4. Easy Mattress Cleaning

Without a New Zealand mattress protector, you will need to deep clean the mattress every six months. This, in itself, is a tedious process since mattresses are so big and bulky. 

Mattress protectors, on the other hand, are very easy to clean. All you have to do is pop it into the washing machine and give it a quick wash. The mattress will also stay clean for longer, so you won’t have to steam clean it as often.

5. Shields Against Occasional Accidents

Your mattress cover is a huge help during those odd occasions when little ones might take a nap inside adult beds or when you accidentally spill a cup of coffee. Even adults can make mistakes, and a good cover can be here to back you up.

6. They Are Comfortable

Old-school mattress covers used to be all crinkly and noisy with a plastic feel. Fortunately, this is not the case for modern overs. These covers are noise-free and just as comfortable as a sheet or a natural mattress.

7. Peace of Mind and Improved Health For Pet Owners

A bed cover is a must if you love snuggling with your furry friends. The bed protector will shield your mattress from pet accidents, drool, hair, ticks and fleas. A waterproof protector means you won’t panic every time your dog has a dream-chasing moment or your cat curls up a little too close.
