The Land of Beds Essence Mattress Protector is a fully waterproof, hypoallergenic fitted mattress protector with a soft knitted polyester jersey surface and a breathable polyurethane (PU) membrane. The knitted jersey top is quiet and comfortable against the skin, while the PU membrane beneath it stops spills, moisture, dust mites and allergens from reaching your mattress. An elasticated fitted skirt fits mattresses up to 32cm deep and holds the protector neatly in place through the night. The result is a silent, breathable protector that keeps your mattress cleaner and in better condition for longer, creates a healthier sleep surface for allergy sufferers, and is backed by a 10-year guarantee.

Best for
Not ideal for
Knitted Polyester Jersey Top Surface
What it is: A 100% polyester jersey fabric that is knitted rather than woven, giving it a soft, flexible, T-shirt-like feel.
How it helps you sleep: It feels smooth and comfortable through your fitted sheet and makes no crinkle noise when you turn over, so the protector does its job without you noticing it is there.
Waterproof PU Membrane
What it is: A thin, flexible polyurethane (PU) layer laminated beneath the jersey top surface, forming a waterproof and allergen barrier.
How it helps you sleep: It stops liquid, dust mites and allergens from reaching your mattress, while staying breathable enough to let moisture vapour escape, so you get full protection without the hot, plastic feel of older waterproof protectors.
Elasticated Fitted Skirt
What it is: A 100% polyester skirt with elastication that stretches down and around the sides of the mattress, fitting it in the same way as a fitted sheet.
How it helps you sleep: It keeps the protector smooth and securely in place through the night without bunching or slipping, and fits mattresses up to 32cm deep.

Vs a non-waterproof mattress protector: A non-waterproof protector can help keep dust mites and allergens at bay, but it offers no defence against spills or accidents. If you have young children, want to protect a new mattress, or simply want peace of mind against moisture damage, a waterproof protector gives you far more complete coverage. Any waterproof membrane holds a little more warmth than a non-waterproof fabric, so if you sleep very hot, pairing it with breathable cotton bedding will help. Browse our full range of mattress protectors to compare options.
Vs a quilted mattress protector: A quilted protector adds a thin padded layer that slightly softens the feel of the bed. The Essence is a close-fitting, thin-profile protector designed purely for protection, so it will not change how your mattress feels. If you are happy with your mattress and just want to keep it in the best possible condition, a fitted protector like this is the cleaner, more practical choice.
Vs an entry-level waterproof protector: Entry-level waterproof protectors often use a stiffer membrane that can rustle and feel warm and plasticky. The Essence pairs a soft knitted jersey surface with a breathable PU membrane, so it stays quiet and comfortable while still being fully waterproof. The 10-year guarantee also sets it apart from typical entry-level options.
The Essence is backed by Land of Beds' 10-year guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. It reflects our confidence in the quality of the materials and construction, and that this protector will keep doing its job night after night for years to come.
The Land of Beds Essence Mattress Protector gives your mattress complete waterproof and allergen protection in a soft, breathable and silent design you will barely notice is there. If you're looking to protect a new mattress, have young children, or suffer from allergies, this is the one to consider.

Is the Essence Mattress Protector fully waterproof?
Yes. The Essence uses a polyurethane (PU) membrane bonded beneath the knitted polyester surface, which provides a complete barrier against liquid, moisture and spills. It is fully waterproof, not just water resistant.
Will it make a crinkling noise when I move in bed?
No. The soft knitted polyester top surface is designed to be quiet and comfortable against the skin. Unlike older waterproof protectors, there is no plastic-feel layer on the sleep surface, so you should not notice any noise when you move.
Will it make me sleep hot?
The Essence is designed with breathability and moisture control in mind, so it performs better than a standard waterproof protector in terms of heat management. That said, any waterproof membrane will retain slightly more warmth than a non-waterproof protector, so if you sleep very warm, pairing it with breathable bedding will help.
What mattress depths will it fit?
The adjustable elasticated skirt is designed to fit mattresses up to 32cm deep. If your mattress is deeper than 32cm, we would recommend checking the depth before purchasing.
Is it suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes. The Essence provides both allergen protection and dust mite protection, creating a barrier between you and common triggers. It is a good choice for allergy sufferers or anyone who wants a cleaner, healthier sleep environment.
What mattress types is it compatible with?
The Essence is suitable for all standard mattress types, including memory foam, pocket sprung, open coil and latex mattresses.
How do I wash the Essence Mattress Protector?
The Essence is machine washable. We recommend following the care label instructions on the product for the correct wash temperature and drying guidance to maintain the waterproof membrane.
Does the protector add any extra comfort to my mattress?
No. The Essence is a protective barrier rather than a comfort layer. It sits close to the mattress surface and is not designed to change how your mattress feels. If you want to add comfort, take a look at our mattress toppers.
What is covered by the 10-year guarantee?
The 10-year guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover general wear and tear or damage caused by improper care. If you have a query about a guarantee claim, please contact our customer service team.
Do I still need to use a fitted sheet over the protector?
Yes. The mattress protector sits between your mattress and your fitted sheet. Simply fit the protector first, then put your fitted sheet on top as normal.
Made to measure mattresses and divan bases are available – please call 01928 242829.
