Not all mattress protectors are created equal, and there are a few different types (encasements, fitted sheets, or pads, to name a few).

This model is a fitted sheet style, so it shouldn\u2019t slip around, and its versatile pockets fit a variety of bed sizes and models. This protector was made especially to fit Amerisleep\u2019s foam mattresses, but it can work with other beds too thanks to its versatile size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<a

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve ever lived in a furnished apartment complex, your landlord may have required you to use a mattress protector on your bed. The extra layer acts as a protective barrier against dust mites, bed bugs, allergens, bacteria, spills, and bodily fluids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/goldeneagleregion.com\/documents\/HouseDustMitesfromohio.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study by Ohio State University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that 10% of the weight of a pillow that\u2019s just two years old can be filled with dead dust mites and their droppings. A mattress may also have 100,000 to 10 million dust mites inside of it. Your mattress absorbs lots of moisture, too, especially if it\u2019s a memory foam mattress, and then it becomes heavier. A waterlogged mattress may lose its cushioning and break down faster, especially if you\u2019re a heavier sleeper or you sleep with a partner. Bottom line: a mattress protector is your best defense against these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amerisleep.com\/classic-mattress-protectors.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amerisleep Waterproof Mattress Protector<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/healthysleep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/amerisleep-mattress-protector-e1562874232502.jpg\" alt=\"Amerisleep Mattress Protector\" width=\"1103\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthysleep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/amerisleep-mattress-protector-e1562874232502.jpg 1103w, https:\/\/healthysleep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/amerisleep-mattress-protector-e1562874232502-300x82.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthysleep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/amerisleep-mattress-protector-e1562874232502-768x209.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthysleep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/amerisleep-mattress-protector-e1562874232502-1024x279.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1103px) 100vw, 1103px\" \/><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>HIGHLIGHTS<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>POSSIBLE CONS<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fits any depth of mattress between 8\u201d-18\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft and absorbent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effectively prevents bacteria, dust mites, and allergens from gathering on your mattress<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some reviews said it caused them to sleep hot<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some reviews said it was noisy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amerisleep.com\/classic-mattress-protectors.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amerisleep Waterproof Mattress Protector<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is super soft because of its cotton blend jersey surface.

We\u2019re going to break down the differences between a few different products so you know what you\u2019re buying:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Mattress protector<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: These are often waterproof, they protect your mattress from dust mites, bed bugs, and stains, and most of them are hypoallergenic. They are usually made in a fitted-sheet style or as an encasement (which covers your entire mattress).\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mattress pads or mattress covers<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are usually much smaller than your mattress and they are meant to just prevent any liquids or spills from getting to your mattress. Typically, they are used for children with bedwetting issues. They are absorbent, but not waterproof.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mattress topper<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These do not protect your mattress in any way\u2013in fact, they are meant to adjust the comfort level of your mattress. They will inevitably change the height of your mattress, so when you\u2019re looking to use one, make sure the mattress protector can still fit comfortably over the topper.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Encasement<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An encasement covers all sides of the mattress; it is typically zippered over the entire bed and is meant to keep out dust mites and bed bugs. Not all encasements are waterproof, so look for a model that does both.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Mattress Protectors<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Mattress pads<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protects against dust mites and bed bugs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can be used to add comfort layers<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most are waterproof<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can keep cushioning layers in place and prevent bunching<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thicker pads can offer comfort adjustment<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not waterproof<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prolongs the life of your mattress<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They typically don\u2019t last long<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Types of Mattress Protectors<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few different types of protectors you\u2019ll see as you\u2019re researching, and they serve different purposes. Some companies will claim their protector does all of these things (protects from allergens, is waterproof, and is cooling), but reading reviews will reveal whether or not that claim is true.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Hypoallergenic: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hypoallergenic protector can be made with hypoallergenic fabrics, like bamboo, or constructed as an encasement, which we discuss further down.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Waterproof: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We go over the two main waterproof materials used in mattress protectors below, but always be on the lookout for this word in the brand\u2019s marketing. If they say the protector is \u201cwaterproof,\u201d that may not mean it is 100% <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">liquid<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-proof. Read customer reviews and of course, make sure they use actual waterproof materials in the waterproof barrier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Encasements: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An encasement covers all sides of the bed and is usually zippered over the mattress. Encasement-style mattress protectors are specifically made to keep bed bugs, dust mites, and allergens out of your mattress.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Cooling: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooling protectors have an extra job to do: they shouldn\u2019t stifle any heat coming from you or your mattress. Look for technologies in the protector that offer actual breathability.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s a Mattress Protector Made Of?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few different fabrics used to make mattress protectors, and they each serve a different purpose. We\u2019ll go over the materials used in the two basic components of a protector: the top cover and the waterproof backing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top Cover Materials:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Down<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: down mattress protectors are typically used to create an additional comfort layer. They are usually more expensive because of the down filling, so you might see them referred to as \u201cpremium mattress protectors.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Spandex<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 100% spandex mattress protectors are not common, but you\u2019ll see this material blended with others to create a stretch. Usually, you\u2019ll find spandex in the fitted sheet style.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Cotton-terry blend<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: cotton-terry fabric is soft and towel-like, so it absorbs any moisture or spills that might happen on your mattress. It\u2019s very common in mattress protectors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Cotton<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: cotton is quite common in sheet protectors, but it\u2019s usually blended with other fabrics, like polyester, terry, or bamboo. It gives the protector a sheet-like feel, but cotton alone will not be very absorbent. Most sheet protectors that utilize this fabric will have an additional waterproof layer made with polyester, polyurethane, or a poly-blend.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Bamboo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: bamboo is one of the more eco-friendly fabrics and it\u2019s commonly substituted for or blended with cotton.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Lyocell: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">often marketed as Tencel, this fabric holds up fairly well against liquids but it is not fully waterproof.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waterproofing Materials:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Polyurethane: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polyurethane is the most common material used to create the waterproof barrier of a mattress protector. It\u2019s usually thermally bonded to the fabric to hold it in place (you may also see this referred to as TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane).\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Vinyl<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vinyl used to be more common as the primary material in waterproof mattress protectors, but questions about its safety have made it much less common (due to the phthalates content). In fact, many companies will openly advertise their protectors as \u201cvinyl-free\u201d to reassure consumers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do You Know It\u2019s Waterproof?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many companies will say their sheet protectors are waterproof, but the customer reviews tell a different story. How can you be sure your protector really will be a shield against any spills or leaks? The risk you take in buying a faulty or low-quality mattress protector is high since your mattress could be ruined (and they aren\u2019t cheap to replace) and you may void its warranty as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can usually tell by the materials used if the protector will truly be waterproof. Polyurethane is the most common waterproof material, so if the mattress doesn\u2019t have that or any other waterproof materials, beware. You\u2019ll also need to consider maintenance. A truly waterproof protector will come with a warning about drying it on high heat. If you dry a waterproof protector on high heat, you can ruin the waterproofing layer\u2013some brands even recommend you don\u2019t dry the protector in a machine at all, instead air-drying to eliminate any risk of ruining it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently washing the protector in a washing machine can also degrade it faster, so take care not to wash it too much. That said, you shouldn\u2019t completely neglect your protector since it is taking the brunt of all the spills, mildew, allergens, dust mites, and bed bugs hitting your mattress. You can always alternate washing it in a machine and by hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Things to Look Out For<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In reading customer reviews, you may notice a few complaints (or high praise!) surrounding certain elements of the mattress protector. Here are a few things you\u2019ll want to keep your eye out for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Breathability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Some mattress protectors are specifically made to be cooling so they don\u2019t disrupt the flow of air through your mattress. It can be frustrating to spend money on a cooling mattress and sheets, only to stifle it all with a hot mattress protector. Rayon and synthetic blends are usually fairly breathable, so protectors that use these may be best for breathability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Comfort: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most protectors aren\u2019t made with comfort in mind since your mattress or mattress topper is supposed to do that for you. However, if you can feel the protector underneath you, it negates all the comfort of your mattress. A protector with padding, like a down protector, can add even more padding to your mattress if that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for. Look for soft fabrics, like cotton or cotton terry.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Size and Fit<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your protector is a fitted style, it should fit comfortably on your mattress without crinkling up or moving around. Be sure you get one with compatible pockets and depth. Additionally, if you use a mattress topper, you will need a protector that fits over that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your mattress.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Noise<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best mattress protectors will feel and sound like nothing (unless you want one with extra padding). A noisy one can unnecessarily disrupt your sleep, so avoid protectors made with plastic material. Try cotton or blended synthetics instead for a quieter night of rest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bed bugs protection<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fully protect yourself from bed bugs, you\u2019ll want to consider an encasement. A couple of our suggestions are zippered encasements, so they protect all sides of the mattress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Allergens<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got bad allergies, a protector made with hypoallergenic material may be best (like bamboo). An encasement is another good choice for allergen protection.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sleep trial<\/strong>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some companies offer some kind of sleep trial with their protectors, but in-home trials are not as common with protectors. If this is important to you, look for companies that offer one. You should also be aware of their return policy should the protector not work for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Warranty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Warranties vary with protectors, but most are anywhere between 1-10 years. Read the warranty thoroughly so you know what\u2019s covered\u2013typically it covers things like a damaged zipper or other defects in the material beyond normal use.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When To Replace<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like anything you use frequently, your mattress protector won\u2019t last forever (even if you wish it would!). Even with proper maintenance and care, you should still think about replacing your protector every few years depending on its material. If you wash it frequently, the waterproofing material may have already begun to degrade. To avoid the risk of ruining your mattress, consider replacing your protector every couple of years\u2013less than that if the protector has already begun to let spills and stains through. Some protectors last only a few months, and at that point, you may want to upgrade to a higher-quality model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Additional Brands to Consider<\/h3>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-113\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-113 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Brand<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Style<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Highlights<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Saferest Premium Mattress Protector<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Fitted sheet<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><ul><br \/>\n<li>Vinyl-free<br \/>\n<li>Protects against dust mites, perspiration, and bacteria<br \/>\n<li>10-year warranty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Lucid Encasement Mattress Protector<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Encasement<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><ul><br \/>\n<li>Protects against bed bugs liquids, and stains<br \/>\n<li>Deep pocket design<br \/>\n<li>15-year warranty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Luna Premium Hypoallergenic Mattress Protector<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Fitted sheet<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><ul><br \/>\n<li>Cotton terry surface is noiseless and cooling<br \/>\n<li>Great for asthma, eczema, and allergy sufferers<br \/>\n<li>15-year warranty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Bear Protector<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Fitted sheet<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><ul><br \/>\n<li>HeiQ Technology provides waterproof barrier<br \/>\n<li>Moisture-wicking fabric promotes cooling<br \/>\n<li>100-night trial, 10-year warranty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">The Purple Mattress Protector<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Fitted sheet<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><ul><br \/>\n<li>Liquid-absorbent<br \/>\n<li>Noiseless<br \/>\n<li>Fits on mattresses up to 13\" tall<br \/>\n<li>10-year limited warranty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are You Ready to Protect Your Mattress?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mattresses can be difficult to maintain, especially if you have a child that\u2019s potty-training, if you have pets, or if you just like to eat and drink in bed.
