Mattress Protector

Q1. What is the point of a mattress protector? / Why do I need a mattress protector?

A mattress protector is a bed covering that envelopes or encases a mattress, thus protecting it from spills and stains. By blocking moisture, these bed covers prevent the development of mold, bacteria, dust mites, and any other allergens within your bed. Thus, investing in a mattress protector is essential to improve your mattress's shelf life.

The main benefits of using a mattress protector include:

1. Protection from spills and stains
2. Increase in mattress shelf life and durability
3. Snug fit due to the protector's elasticated edges
4. Promotion of proper hygiene, health, and well-being due to waterproof, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial properties
5. Easy to follow wash and care instructions 

Q3. Are mattress protectors easy to wash and maintain?
