Product Description

The Purecare Cotton Mattress Protector is a fully waterproof, breathable fitted mattress protector made from smooth jersey-knit cotton, designed to guard your mattress against spills, moisture, allergens, and bacteria without you ever knowing it's there. The cotton surface feels soft against the skin, while an invisible waterproof membrane beneath provides complete protection, silent, crinkle-free, and comfortable. Purecare's AgCl Silver Chloride treatment adds an anti-microbial barrier, and MiteTight Seams prevent dust mites and allergens from penetrating the mattress. The antimicrobial properties remain active for over 50 washes, and the four-way stretch skirt fits mattresses up to 38cm deep. Backed by a free 12-year guarantee, this is a protector built to last.


What Does This Protector Do?

A waterproof, breathable jersey-knit cotton mattress protector with AgCl anti-microbial treatment, MiteTight Seams and a deep four-way stretch skirt, providing silent, discreet protection for mattresses up to 38cm deep.

A cotton-surface waterproof protector best suited to families, allergy sufferers, and anyone who wants complete mattress protection without any compromise to comfort or sleep quality.

Protection Level, Fully Waterproof and Breathable: Guards against all liquid penetration while allowing air and moisture vapour to pass through, keeping the sleep surface fresh and temperature-regulated. The waterproof membrane is engineered to be completely silent and undetectable in use.

Best for

  • Families with young children, provides reliable, silent waterproof protection for bed-wetting or accidents without disturbing sleep
  • Allergy sufferers, the MiteTight Seams and AgCl anti-microbial treatment create a comprehensive barrier against dust mites, bacteria, and mould, which are a leading cause of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema
  • Those with a new or expensive mattress, the 12-year guarantee reflects the long-term investment value this protector provides
  • Hot sleepers, the breathable cotton surface and waterproof membrane work together to wick moisture without trapping heat
  • Those who want a completely silent protector, customer reviews consistently note that this protector cannot be heard or felt in use

Not ideal for

  • Those looking for an additional comfort layer, the Purecare Cotton is a thin protective layer, not a padded topper. For added comfort, see our mattress toppers
  • Mattresses over 38cm deep, check your mattress depth before ordering

Inside This Protector

Jersey-Knit Cotton Surface (80% Cotton, 20% Polyester)
What it is: A smooth, soft jersey-knit fabric made from a cotton-rich blend, used as the sleeping surface of the protector. Jersey-knit construction gives the fabric a natural stretch and soft feel that does not detract from the underlying mattress.
How it helps you sleep: Provides a comfortable, skin-friendly surface that feels like sleeping directly on cotton rather than on a protective layer. The natural breathability of cotton also helps to regulate temperature and wick moisture away from the body overnight.

Silent Waterproof Membrane
What it is: An invisible waterproof backing layer laminated to the cotton surface. Purecare's proprietary membrane is engineered to be completely silent and flexible, unlike older waterproof protectors that used rigid PVC backings.
How it helps you sleep: Prevents any liquid from reaching the mattress without making noise or creating discomfort. Customer feedback consistently confirms that this protector cannot be heard or felt through bedding, making it genuinely unobtrusive in use.

AgCl Silver Chloride Anti-Microbial Treatment
What it is: A molecular treatment applied to the fabric that inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew on the protector's surface. The treatment remains active for over 50 washes.
How it helps you sleep: Creates a fresher, more hygienic sleep surface by preventing the build-up of odour-causing bacteria and mould, particularly important in a product that sits between the sleeper and the mattress and is regularly exposed to warmth and moisture.

MiteTight Seams
What it is: Specially constructed seams that seal the edges of the protector to prevent dust mites and allergens from entering through the stitching.
How it helps you sleep: Standard protector seams can leave microscopic gaps that dust mites exploit over time. MiteTight Seams close this vulnerability, making the protector a more complete barrier for allergy sufferers.

Four-Way Stretch Fitted Skirt (100% Polyester)
What it is: An elasticated skirt with four-way stretch that pulls down over the mattress like a fitted sheet, accommodating mattresses up to 38cm deep.
How it helps you sleep: Stays securely in place throughout the night without bunching, shifting, or requiring readjustment. The deep skirt accommodates thicker mattresses including those with Pillow Tops or toppers already fitted.

How it Compares

Vs a non-waterproof protector: A non-waterproof protector guards against allergens and dust mites but provides no defence against liquid penetration. If protecting the mattress from moisture, whether from spills, sweat, or bed-wetting, is a concern, a waterproof protector is the right choice. The key question with any waterproof protector is whether it is silent and breathable; a good one should be completely undetectable in use. See our full range of mattress protectors for comparison.

Vs a quilted or padded protector: Quilted protectors add a thin layer of padding for slightly more comfort underfoot, but the priority here is protection rather than comfort enhancement. If you want to add comfort as well as protection, pairing a thin protector with a separate mattress topper is a more effective approach, the protector sits directly on the mattress, the topper on top.

Vs a fitted sheet alone: A fitted sheet provides no waterproof protection and minimal allergen defence. A mattress protector is the foundation layer that extends the life of your mattress, the sheet goes on top of it.


12 Year Guarantee

The Purecare Cotton Mattress Protector is backed by a free 12-year guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship, reflecting the durability of the AgCl treatment, the fabric quality, and Purecare's confidence in the product's long-term performance.

    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.
