How to Choose a Mattress Protector

Why use a protector

A mattress protector adds a washable layer between your sheets and mattress. It can make everyday care easier and help you keep your new bed in good condition.

What to compare

Look at breathability, feel, ease of washing, and the level of moisture protection that fits your household. A protector should help, not change the comfort you chose.

Ask before you leave

If you are buying a new mattress, ask which protectors work well with the feel and size you selected. It is an easy detail to sort out while you are in the store.
