What Does a Mattress Protector Actually Do?

A mattress protector, or mattress cover, guards your mattress against moisture, dust and stains. It takes the spills, sweat and everyday wear and tear that would otherwise soak straight into the mattress.

It is also far easier to wash a protector than to clean a whole mattress. Plus, it keeps the sleep surface cleaner for longer, which matters if you want your mattress to last a decade or more. This is why mattress protectors have become a staple in Australian beds. But do not confuse it with a mattress topper. A protector guards the mattress, while a topper adds softness, cushioning, or support. On the bed, the mattress topper is typically placed over the mattress and under the protector, then topped with a fitted sheet.

Choose From A Range Of Mattress Protector Types To Suit Your Needs

Explore quality mattress protectors for every need and sleeping style at Spotlight. We have mattress protectors from leading bedding brands like Jaspa, Linen House, Tontine and more.

• A waterproof mattress protector has a hidden membrane that stops liquid from reaching the mattress. This is the one to pick for kids' beds, pets on the bed or anyone dealing with spills regularly.
• A fitted mattress protector pulls on like a fitted sheet with elastic corners. It's quick to strip on wash day and sits flat under your bed sheets.
• A quilted mattress protector adds a soft padded layer with a little cushioning. Choose a quilted protector if you want your bed to feel slightly plusher.
• A zippered encasement wraps the whole mattress and zips shut. The full enclosure limits dust mites and allergens getting into the mattress, so it suits anyone after a cleaner sleep environment.
• Cooling mattress protectors use breathable fabrics for better temperature regulation. Hot sleepers tend to notice the difference straight away.

Consider the materials too. A bamboo mattress protector is a popular pick for its smooth, breathable feel. Cotton feels soft and washes well, while wool blends suit cooler months. Many waterproof protectors are also backed by terry towelling, which helps them absorb moisture quickly. Some protectors also carry a hypoallergenic filling or an antibacterial treatment, which slows bacteria from building up in the fabric.

Explore A Range Of Durable Mattress Covers And Bed Protectors

Mattress protectors are designed to enhance the longevity of and safeguard your mattress, so it's important that the mattress protectors themselves are durable. When it comes to finding the right bed protector, you should consider your sleeping habits to find the best one for you. If you're allergy prone or want to focus on reducing the buildup of bacteria on your mattress, then an anti-bacterial mattress protector is the perfect one for you!

Maybe you run hot in your sleep? In this case, then a cooling mattress protector will do the trick. Ultimately, our mattress protectors are designed to withstand a range of sleeping habits to protect your mattress and improve its longevity.

Find Fitted Mattress Protectors To Suit All Bed Sizes

Mattress protectors are available in a range of different types to fit your mattress including elastic loops, zip up or fitted to your mattress. Much like fitted sheets, a fitted mattress protector is designed with an elastic edging to fit snugly around your mattress. This design prevents the fitted mattress protector from slipping and sliding throughout the night, ensuring it protects your mattress from dust, spills and stains all night. These mattress protectors are available in a variety of sizes to suit a range of mattresses. You can find single, double, queen, king and more sizes available right here at Spotlight.

FAQs

Do I need a waterproof mattress protector?

A waterproof mattress protector is essential for ensuring that your mattress stays clean and lasts longer. These are great for protecting from stains, spills, bed wetting and help to prevent wear and tear on your mattress.

How to wash a mattress protector?

There are lots of ways to clean a mattress protector. Most mattress protectors can be machine washed, making them easy to care for - just make sure you check the manufacturer's care label. It's a great idea to keep more than one mattress protector in your linen cupboard so you can rotate them. This will ensure your laundry routine remains simple by washing your mattress protector when you change your sheets.

Do you put an electric blanket under or over a mattress protector?

An electric blanket is typically placed beneath the mattress protector to shield heating elements from spills, sweat, and wear. It can be safely paired with modern, breathable waterproof protectors (such as polyurethane-backed cotton or bamboo), but avoid non-breathable vinyl or rubber pads as they trap heat and pose a hazard.

How do I clean and maintain a mattress protector?

Most mattress protectors are machine washable on a cool or warm cycle. Wash yours separately from other bedding so the fabric is not pulling against zips or buttons. Tumble dry on low if the care label allows it, or line dry a waterproof protector. Skip the bleach and fabric softener, as both can damage a waterproof membrane.

How often should you wash a mattress protector?

As a general rule, you should wash a mattress protector every one to two months. Make it more often if someone in the house has allergies, or wash it straight away after a spill or a bed wetting accident.
