Mattress protectors – great ways to secure your investment

By jjohnson

A great way to secure the investment we have in a quality mattress is to encase it with a mattress protector. Few items in our home are used as much, and are expected to last as long, as the bed on which we sleep.  These simple full coverage devices can prolong the life, and prevent stains and other damage to the valuable mattress. Different than toppers, these protectors cover the top, bottoms, and sides in order to provide a full 360 degree coverage. In addition, there are options so the box springs, the foundation of our bed, can also be protected from stains and damage.

The foundation of a bed system is the box springs and it should be protected. Here is a great choice for a low profile, up to 5.5 inches thick, box spring encasement. The cotton terry surface front with a membrane back coating makes this waterproof, yet breathable, and able to protect while still allowing air flow. Have no worries about this crinkling or cracking because it is noiseless. The micro zipper makes this easy to apply and it offers 6 sides of protection. Being the closest part of the bed to the ground, the box springs needs protection from bed bugs, dust mites and bacteria.

Another great choice to protect the box springs is this SafeRest Premium. It offers bed bug proof encasement and is 100% waterproof. Great for those with allergies due to its polyester surface and membrane layer. No worries about dust mites or insects because the micro-zipper is penetration proof. It prevents all stages of bed bugs from getting through.

Having covered our foundation we are now looking to protect the mattress itself. Special attention is needed since this is the surface we sleep on. This hypoallergenic choice from UltraBlock is free of PVC, phthalates and vinyl. The mattress surface is protected from spills, bedwetting and bed bugs. Not only does it offer protection, but also comfort. The surface layer is snuggly soft, enhancing our sleep. It is noiseless without crinkles or crackles.
