Keep your mattress safe with these 5 items

Your mattress is likely one of the pricier items in your bedroom — so why aren’t you taking better care of it? A mattress is an investment that is used every single day, that has a huge impact on your life (how many bad days have been caused by bad sleep?), and that’s at risk of damage on a regular basis. Every time you sip a bottle of water in bed, go to sleep with wet shower hair or even just let the dogs or the kids sleep with you overnight, you’re putting that mattress at risk. So what can you do? Here are five items that can help keep your mattress protected from liquids, dust mites, allergens and more.

UltraPlush Premium Waterproof Mattress Protector, Luxurious, Soft & Comfortable ( Split King)

This mattress protector ticks a lot of boxes. It’s adjustable for use with split beds. It’s been tested and proven to withstand up to 100 gallons of water. And it doesn’t only keep out liquid. The mattress protector likewise prevents the growth of fungus and bacteria, and keeps your mattress totally free from any pet dander, pollen, dust mites or chemicals.

SafeRest Crib Mattress Encasement 52x28x6in

If there’s one mattress in your home that you want to remain as pristine and safe as possible, but that’s also at the highest risk in your home, it’s likely the mattress in your child’s crib. There’s the constant threat of liquids and other damage, but it’s simultaneously oh-so-important to ensure your baby is sleeping in a safe environment. Luckily, this mattress protector keeps out not only fluids, bacteria and dust mites, but also bed bugs.

Memory Foam Mattress Protector Twin XL

Okay, so let’s say that you’re not necessarily all that worried about 100 gallons of water being dumped on your mattress, or protecting a baby from potentially dangerous dust mites. Instead, you just want a simple solution to keep stains and odors off your mattress in case an accident does occur, something as commonplace as sloshing your coffee if you’re reading in bed on a weekend morning. That’s exactly what this thin, lightweight cotton mattress protector will do.
