Mattress Protectors and Why They Are Important.

Do you remember the last time you bought a mattress? Do you recall the salesperson trying to sell you a mattress protector? Did you think to yourself, this guy is just trying to sell me something else..? Well, I'm here to bust that myth! Mattress protectors are a crucial element to your mattress and especially if you have just bought a new one or are considering buying a new mattress, you should read this first! Mattress protectors are important for many reasons but the top two reasons to purchase a mattress protector are: 1. Keeping the mattress clean and healthy and 2. Protecting your mattress warranty. Let's start with protecting your warranty. Did you know that even the smallest stain on your mattress can void your mattress warranty? A mark from a pen, a smudge of make-up or a spilled coffee stain can all void your mattress warranty, meaning that the manufacturer will not honour any claim on your mattress if it is stained. Since mattresses are a big investment, the warranty that comes with it can be very valuable. Therefore, you should take every measure you can to protect that warranty. To get the very most from your mattress protector, make sure you choose one that is waterproof and machine washable. Spills can cause stains, so having a waterproof protector makes sense. The mattress protector is going to be working hard to keep your mattress clean and may need to be washed from time to time so having it machine washable is essential. Secondly, a mattress protector is there to protect your health. There are many names for a mattress protector. Mattress protector, mattress topper, mattress pad or underpad. No matter what you call it, the purpose is to provide protection to the mattress itself, as well as to the individual sleeping on the mattress from allergens and irritants such as dust mites, bed bugs, mold and dead skin cells, like dandruff. A mattress can quickly become a breeding ground for dust mites, and other allergens. If you frequently wake up with a runny nose, itchy eyes or have trouble breathing, it is very important to protect yourself against these allergens. Limiting your exposure to these types of allergens will have a significant impact in helping you get a healthy nights sleep. Since sleep plays such an important role in your overall health, it is in your best interest to make your resting hours as peaceful as possible. We spend approximately a third of our lives sleeping and a mattress protector can ensure that time is well spent. Lastly, another benefit of having a protector for your new mattress is that it will protect your mattress from wear and tear, which in turn will extend the overall life of your mattress. Bonus!
