There are many reasons why every owner of a mattress should protect their mattress with a health guard. Mainly for their own health and also to protect their investment and warranty.

Free of Stain Mattress

Did you know that even the smallest stain on your mattress will void your mattress warranty? A smudge of dirt, blood stain or a spilled juice drink stain will void your valuable warranty, meaning that the manufacturer will not honour any claim on your stained mattress. Most mattresses are not cheap; a warranty can be very valuable and important. It is in every people's interest to protect the mattress warranty as best as possible. So it is important that your mattress protector is waterproof.

Protecting Your Health while Sleeping: Mattress Protector

The use of a mattress protector is often recommended to individuals who are known to be susceptible to certain kinds of allergies, especially dust mites. Dust mites produce waste products that irritate the lining of the airways and lungs and particularly with children can bring on allergic reactions, asthma can irritate skin conditions such as eczema. A full zippered encasement allergen filtration mattress protector can provide an extra layer of protection between you and your mattress, filtering allergens that are known to trigger allergy and asthma symptoms.

Bed Bug Protector

For protection against bed bugs, the mattress and box spring must both be fully enclosed with no possible openings. Zippered cases are commonly used for this purpose. This prevents new bed bugs from getting into the mattress and box spring, and traps any bed bugs that are already inside. Bed Bug protectors must be left on for at least a full year to make sure that the trapped bed bugs and their eggs die. If the cover is taken off early, the bed bug infestation may relapse.

Waterproof mattress protectors also reduce allergy symptoms by reducing the ability of mold to grow in a mattress. Mattress protectors which can be easily disinfected are commonly used in children's nurseries and health care facilities.

A premium health guard covers and protects your mattress. When you sleep, you shed skin cells and sweat; all of this gets absorbed into your mattress.
