How to Choose the Best Mattress Protectors

The best mattress protector for you is the one that protects against the kinds of damage your mattress is most likely to suffer from. Katie of Mattress Clarity talks about all the different types of mattress protectors. But here are a few more things to look out for.

Strength: The protector should be strong and durable. It should not deform under pressure.

Cooling Properties: Ideally, good mattress protectors conduct heat away from the body and don’t have a plastic-y feel.

Waterproofing: If waterproofing is what you’re looking for, then the protector needs to be watertight and durable.

Quiet Sleeping: A good product won’t make noise when you move in bed. This can be a tough match with waterproof models, but it’s still a necessity.
