One of the best things you can do to keep your mattress in tip-top shape for as long as possible is to wrap it in a mattress protector. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the latest addition to our premium bedding line: our Waterproof Mattress Protector. Here, learn all about the benefits of using a waterproof mattress protector and the key features of our newest bedding launch.
Why you should use a waterproof mattress protector
A waterproof mattress protector is meant to be a barrier between you and your mattress. It’s a thin sheet of fabric that’s designed to keep bacteria, fungi, bed bugs, and other unwanted contaminants out of your bed. Consider using a waterproof mattress protector if you:
- are concerned about preventing bed bugs
- have pets or children that are likely to cause a mess
- live in a humid region and want to prevent excess moisture that could lead to mold
Because a mattress protector collects all the dirt, dust, and skin cells that would otherwise end up in your mattress, you’ll want to wash it regularly (every month or two, more often if you have pets or allergies). Luckily, most mattress protectors are machine washable, making cleaning them a whole lot easier than cleaning a mattress.
A look at Saatva’s waterproof mattress protector
Saatva’s waterproof mattress protector is made from a cotton knit that wicks away moisture. It has a non-rubbery, ultra-thin polyurethane moisture barrier with micro-perforations that allows airflow while effectively blocking liquids. That means you’ll sleep cool while your mattress stays protected.
With a cotton lining, deep pockets, and silicone elastic band all the way around, our waterproof mattress protector fits mattresses up to 16 inches high and stays put.
Cleaning our waterproof mattress protector is easy: Simply machine wash it on cold, using the gentle cycle (skip the bleach). Tumble dry low, and then you’re ready to place it on your bed again.
