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.

But your mattress isn’t only at risk when it’s at home, on your bed. If you move your mattress at all, from home to home, or ever store it for any amount of time, you risk serious damage. These professional-grade mattress bags are thick, puncture-resistant and designed to keep absolutely everything away from your mattress while it’s in transit or storage.

Why Morning Sunlight Might Be the Best Wellness Habit You’re Not Practicing
Person, Door, Sunlight

Sleep has become one of the biggest topics of conversation in wellness, and for good reason. More people are realizing that feeling rested is about far more than simply spending eight hours in bed. Quality matters just as much as quantity, and surprisingly, one of the most effective ways to improve your sleep begins long before your head hits the pillow.

It often begins within the first hour after you wake up. Unlike many wellness trends, this habit does not require an expensive supplement, a wearable device, or an elaborate morning routine. All it asks is that you simply step outside.

The One Strength Exercise Every Woman Should Learn
Person, Machine, Wheel

There is one exercise that strength coaches, physical therapists, and longevity experts consistently recommend, yet many women still avoid it because it sounds intimidating: the deadlift.

Despite its somewhat dramatic name, the deadlift is one of the most functional movements you can learn. It trains your body to safely reach down, pick something up from the floor, and stand back up. It is a movement you perform countless times throughout your day. More importantly, it strengthens the muscles that support good posture, protect your spine, improve athletic performance, and help you maintain independence as you get older.

Why Creatine Is the Most Underrated Supplement for Women (and Why You Probably Need It More Than You Think)
Body Part, Finger, Hand

Creatine has long been associated with bodybuilding, heavy lifting, and men trying to get bigger in the gym. But that narrative is outdated.

Especially those in their 20’s and 30’s who are balancing demanding careers, inconsistent sleep, stress, workouts, and everything in between. And, unlike most wellness trends, this one is actually backed by decades of research.
