Utopia Bedding Zippered Waterproof Queen Mattress Protector

A mattress protector can make your queen bed more comfortable, but it can also protect you from allergens and protect your mattress from bed bugs and spilled liquids. Quality mattress protectors can actually extend the life of a new mattress, or perk up an older one.

Mattress pads, mattress toppers and mattress protectors are three different things. A plain mattress pad protects a mattress’s surface from the usual wear and tear and stains. They can range from thin to thick and plush.

Mattress toppers are thicker and are made from quilted material, latex or memory foam. They can come with their own covers, but the toppers usually cannot be washed. Toppers are made with comfort in mind, and they are not waterproof.

Mattress protectors are made from cotton or polyester, and they may look like fitted sheets, secured with elastic. They can also be made to fit over the whole mattress, with a zipper enclosure. They may be made from different materials.

Protectors are very useful for children who are potty training, for allergy sufferers and for pet owners. Prices for mattress protectors can range widely. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a fortune to buy a quality protector that meets your needs.

• Mattress pads are good for people who only need light protection or who sweat a lot. These pads are also easy to take with you, and they are good for traveling. They also protect mattresses from stains and can be easily cleaned.
• Mattress protectors are a good choice if you have pets or children. They are usually hypoallergenic, and they can protect mattresses from moisture and mold. This is a good choice for those who live in humid regions.
• Before buying a mattress protector, measure your bed, including the corners. Some mattresses require protectors with deep pockets.
