Product Overview

The Purecare Cotton Mattress Protector is a waterproof, fitted sheet style mattress protector with a soft jersey-knit sleep surface made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester. Beneath the fabric, a breathable waterproof membrane stops spills, sweat and stains from reaching your mattress with no plastic feel, while an AgCl Silver Chloride treatment inhibits bacteria, mould and mildew for over 50 washes and MiteTight Seams help keep dust mites out. The result is a soft, breathable protector that keeps your mattress cleaner and fresher for longer, fits mattresses up to 38cm deep with its four-way stretch skirt, and is backed by a 12-year guarantee.

What Does This Protector Do?

The Purecare Cotton Mattress Protector is a 100% waterproof, breathable jersey-knit mattress protector with an AgCl Silver Chloride treatment, MiteTight Seams and a four-way stretch skirt that fits mattresses up to 38cm deep.

A cotton-rich waterproof mattress protector best suited to families, allergy sufferers and anyone with a new mattress who want complete protection from spills and stains and a fresher, more hygienic sleep surface.

Protection Level - Waterproof and Anti-Microbial: Liquids can't pass through to your mattress, while the AgCl Silver Chloride treatment stops bacteria, mould and mildew building up on the protector between washes.

Best for

  • Families with young children - the waterproof membrane stops accidents and spills from soaking into the mattress
  • Allergy sufferers - MiteTight Seams and the AgCl Silver Chloride treatment help reduce dust mites, bacteria and mould
  • Those with a new or expensive mattress - keeps the surface clean and stain-free, backed by a 12-year guarantee
  • Those with a deeper mattress - the four-way stretch skirt fits mattresses up to 38cm deep
  • Those who want easy-care everyday protection - machine washable and tumble dryer friendly

Not ideal for

  • Those looking for extra comfort or padding - this is a thin protective layer, so see our mattress toppers for added comfort
  • Mattresses over 38cm deep - check your mattress depth before ordering

Inside This Protector

Jersey-Knit Cotton-Rich Surface (80% Cotton, 20% Polyester)
What it is: A knitted rather than woven fabric, made mostly from cotton, which gives the sleep surface a natural stretch and a soft, T-shirt-like feel.
How it helps you sleep: Feels soft and comfortable against the skin, lies smoothly across the mattress and is breathable, so it won't change the feel of the mattress you've chosen.

Waterproof Membrane
What it is: An invisible layer laminated beneath the jersey-knit surface that stops liquid passing through to the mattress, while still letting air and moisture vapour escape.
How it helps you sleep: Protects your mattress from spills, sweat and accidents with no plastic feel, so you get full waterproof protection without a stuffy or sticky sleep surface.

AgCl Silver Chloride Treatment
What it is: An anti-microbial treatment applied to the fabric using silver chloride technology, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew. It stays active for over 50 washes.
How it helps you sleep: Keeps the protector fresher for longer by stopping odour-causing bacteria and mould developing, which matters because the protector is exposed to body warmth and moisture every night.

MiteTight Seams
What it is: A Purecare construction method in which the seams are sewn to stop dust mites and allergens getting into the mattress through the stitching, where standard seams can leave tiny gaps.
How it helps you sleep: Closes the gaps that standard seams leave, giving allergy sufferers a more complete barrier against house dust mites, a common trigger of asthma, rhinitis and eczema.

Four-Way Stretch Fitted Skirt (100% Polyester)
What it is: A stretchy skirt that pulls down over the sides of the mattress just like a fitted sheet, and fits mattresses up to 38cm deep.
How it helps you sleep: Holds the protector securely in place through the night without bunching or shifting, and makes it quick to take off for washing.

How it Compares

Vs a non-waterproof protector: A non-waterproof protector helps guard against dust and allergens but won't stop liquid soaking through to your mattress. If spills, night sweats or accidents are a concern, a waterproof protector is the better choice, and a breathable membrane like this one means you don't have to put up with a plastic feel to get it. Compare options across our full range of mattress protectors.

Vs a quilted protector: Quilted protectors add a thin layer of padding for a little extra softness, but they aren't always waterproof. This protector focuses on protection rather than comfort, keeping the feel of your mattress unchanged. If you'd like both, pairing a thin waterproof protector with a separate mattress topper gives you the best of each.

Vs an entry-level waterproof protector: Entry-level protectors usually use a plain polyester surface and offer waterproofing alone. Stepping up gets you a soft, cotton-rich jersey-knit surface, an anti-microbial treatment that lasts for over 50 washes, dust mite resistant seams and a much longer guarantee.

12 Year Guarantee

The Purecare Cotton Mattress Protector is backed by Purecare's 12-year guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. It's one of the longest guarantees you'll find on a mattress protector, reflecting how well the fabric and anti-microbial treatment are built to last.

  • Land of Beds Best Seller - one of our most popular mattress protectors, based on sales and customer feedback.
  • OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 - every component has been independently tested for harmful substances, so you can be confident the materials are safe for prolonged contact with your skin.

    Although this mattress protector cost more than I would usually pay, I bought a new very expensive mattress, so the extra cost of the protector was worth paying for peace of mind that my new mattress is safe from any accidental stains. It seems very well made & can be laundered to keep it fresh. All good & very pleased with my purchase

    Quite pricy to buy but does the trick. The fit is perfect but does rustle a bit when moving, which I guess we will get used too

    It is has now been on my bed for 2 weeks and it is so soft I don't know it is there, but I sleep well knowing that my mattress is protected although I do not expect to be testing it for some time. Further more I was very pleased as always with the service from Land of beds.

    First time of having a mattress protector. It fits the bed well and doesn’t come off. I expect as it protects the mattress it does have to have some protection in it and this does make me feel hot. Don’t think I would use it in summer. It also rustles. Am looking at other types to have a spare. When washing it I use two sheets on the bed. It washed well and dried overnight.
