Profuse sweating in particular can push your mattress to the limits of cleanliness, even if it is built to endure. A good mattress is an expensive investment, and it\u2019s worth doing as much as possible to keep it feeling fresh and new for as long as possible. Although sheets are easily washed, the rest of the bed can be difficult to maintain, and so you\u2019ll want to take as many preventative measures as possible to retain its good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes called a water-resistant mattress cover, a waterproof mattress protector is the best method for saving your bed from liquid spills and stains, as well as reducing the elements that affect allergy sufferers. Because it can be easily applied to a bed and likewise taken off for washing (many of which can be done in a machine), it\u2019s the ideal solution to dealing with unpleasant or wet particles that can damage a bed, being much easier to clean than the mattress itself. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acting as a fortress against liquids and other unpleasant grains, it fights away anything that can be absorbed by your mattress that would result in creating marks and the gestation of nasty smells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not for the faint hearted, but some of the more gross reasons for adopting a waterproof mattress protector can be explored in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/a-to-z-guides\/ss\/slideshow-dirty-mattress-hazards\">Web MD article about what\u2019s lurking in your mattress<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-tatiana-syrikova-3933240-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mattress on a minimalist frame with a waterproof fitted protector on it\" class=\"wp-image-1902\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"1897\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-3.jpg\" alt=\"A water stained mattress being rubbed by a pair of hands\" class=\"wp-image-1897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-3-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Waterproof Mattress Protector Material<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A water-resistant cover is almost like a miracle sleeping aid for those who suffer from allergies. Mostly made from cotton and polyester, by inhibiting the flow of fluids onto the mattress, waterproof protectors make your bed an unattractive prospect for mold, dust mites and other undesirables which can irritate sleepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of particular benefit to children, who can develop skin and lung related health problems from unclean beds, the materials that go into making protectors are also a great asset to those of all ages finding themselves aggravated by asthma or eczema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we consider that some of us might be producing up to a litre of sweat a night, the need for polyester as a primary waterproof mattress protector material becomes evident. Without it, years of perspiration moisture can become locked into a mattress, prematurely making it smell musky and turning it brown. Coupled with the potential health issues, the need to have a protective sheet cling to your bed becomes less of a luxury item, and more of an essential sanitary tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although using the correct waterproof mattress protector material to displace fluids is a vital part of maintaining a clean, healthy sleeping space, it doesn\u2019t negate the need for <a href=\"\/help-and-advice\/lifestyle\/why-do-you-need-to-get-that-bedding-washed\/\">regular washing of bedding<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose The Right Type Of Mattress Cover<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different types of mattress covers available, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. All-in-one mattress protectors are designed to fit both sides of the mattress and come in various sizes. They are easy to use and all provide protection against dust mites, allergens, and bacteria. However, these mattress protectors tend to be more expensive than traditional mattress covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waterproof ones will always be labelled as such, although they can sometimes go by a variation of the term like \u2018water resistant\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Waterproof Your Bed When Pregnant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no better time to apply a waterproof mattress protector to your bed than when it is brand new and can maximise the longevity by keeping it fresh and hygienic from the get-go. If you don\u2019t already have one, then another great time to start using one is during pregnancy. Aside from providing an extra barrier between your bed and any late-night snacks satisfying those cravings, it will also be there for water breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your baby is born, it will be a guardian angel watching over your mattress when drool, sick, poop, pee and knocked over tumblers become the norm in your bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-pavel-danilyuk-7055849-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A pregnant woman rubbing cream on her belly as she sits in bed\" class=\"wp-image-1895\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"1894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-1.jpg\" alt=\"A wet patch on a bed sheet next to baby's feet\" class=\"wp-image-1894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.landofbeds.co.uk\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Wash A Waterproof Mattress Protector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These covers will bear the brunt of almost any fluid that could possibly damage your mattress, whether you\u2019re dealing with baby mess, are an avid and sweaty exerciser, a make-up obsessed beauty queen, suffering from a particularly heavy flowing menstrual cycle, or an older person struggling with incontinence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No yellow marks after urine leakage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No grey pigments after a hot sweaty night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No red spots after a heavy menstrual cycle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No brown coffee stains after drinking in bed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No orange mattress after a fake tanning session<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And they ask for very little in return. Maintaining a waterproof mattress protector is easy. Always double check the manufacturer\u2019s instructions on your particular cover for cleaning guidance, however most can be thrown in a washing machine for 1 hour at high temperatures along with the rest of your bedding. We recommend you do this once every 2 months, but for protectors that are in use on a bed that regularly hosts pets, or is exposed to a high level of liquids, more frequent washing is advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dry on a medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure

Mattress Protector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protectors come in a variety of sizes, with the following being among the most popular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Single Waterproof Mattress Protector<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waterproof Mattress Protector Double<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>King Size Waterproof Mattress Protector<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How these are applied to your bed can vary slightly by brand, but the majority of them feature an elasticated skirt that can be pulled over a mattress (and topper, if applicable), and securely wrapped around just like a fitted sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea of the protector is that it should be covering everything your body will come into contact with, so any items such as toppers will need to be underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although they are quite rare, there are some protectors which are an overall encasing, and can be awkward to put on and take off without help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
