Which Mattress Protector?

Mattress protectors extend the life of your mattress and provide added comfort.

A quilted mattress protector will provide extra comfort as well as protecting your mattress.

Waterproof mattress protectors have a soft combed cotton top layer with a thin, pliable polyurethane-backing which provides discreet protection.

For those looking for a greater degree of luxurious comfort, extra warmth, or enough support for severely aching joints and backs then a mattress topperwould make a more suitable purchase. All of the mattress toppers we offer are in excess of 3 times the depth of the quilted mattress protectors. We offer many types of mattress toppers, including those with natural fibre fillings, such as goose or duck feather and down, supportive memory foam or the Perfect Comfort mattress topper, which contains a soft, springy polyester cluster fibre filling. If this is the case, please refer to our ‘Which mattress topper do I choose?' page for the relevant advice.

Caring for you and your mattress

A good mattress protector is a bedding essential. It not only keeps your mattress stain-free and well protected, but also draws moisture off you, keeping you feeling fresh and comfortable all through the night. All of the quilted protectors we offer are densely filled with hypoallergenic wadding, so they’ll certainly renew the look of any old, tired-looking mattresses. Some people even take their mattress protectors on business trips and holidays with them to provide a decent barrier between themselves and any mattress nasties!

Why do you need a mattress protector?

Although you can (and should) run a vacuum over your mattress, this isn’t necessarily the most effective way of keeping your mattress as clean as you might like. A mattress protector provides a good barrier against stains and dust mites, protecting you and your mattress. For anyone who suffers from night-time incontinence, a waterproof mattress protector is one of the best investments you could make, keeping your mattress clean and dry night after night.

Which mattress protector do I choose?

100% Pure cotton mattress protector
Covered in luxurious high thread-count cotton, the luxury cotton mattress protector is stuffed with layers of 100% pure cotton filling for a supremely comfortable finish. Ideal if you require a naturally hypoallergenic mattress protector that absorbs moisture and can be easily machine-washed at 40°C and dried on a cool setting in a tumble-drier.

Fibre-filled mattress protectors
There are 3 ranges of mattress protectors with polyester fillings, all of which will provide a comfortable barrier between you and your mattress:

The polyester filling of the Perfect Balance™ mattress protectors also contain Lyocell, an advanced fibre blend made from natural raw materials that has a remarkable ability to absorb and disperse excess humidity. The filling and Lysoft® 100% cotton percale cover - a fabric softer than Egyptian cotton – combine to create a highly breathable layer over your mattress. Washable at 60°C to destroy dust mite allergens, this is a particularly useful way of minimising any discomfort for allergy sufferers.
