3 Reasons Why You Need A Mattress Protector

A mattress protector can be considered one of the most important accessories for your mattress. It sits right on the surface of your mattress, but below your sheets. They are generally made of fabrics that help repel liquid and any other factors that could damage the mattress.

Let’s go over 3 reasons as to why you need a mattress protector.

Keep It Clean

When you go to bed, you produce different oils from your skin. These all get in your sheets and can seep through into your mattress. As humans, you also shed dead skin cells. These dead skin cells are inevitable. You may also accidentally spill water or other liquids on your bed. These all can damage your mattress and wear it out. The mattress protector can help prevent any of these factors from reaching your mattress, and keep it in good condition. Additionally, it can prevent any stains from developing on the mattress.

Prevent Dust Mites

Dust mites eat dead skin cells and can end up in your mattress if there is not a protector. Additionally, dust mite allergies can lead to issues such as sneezing, runny nose, wheezing and shortness of breath. Getting a mattress protector can help prevent this issue, along with washing your sheets on a weekly basis.

Protect the Warranty

If you just bought a new mattress, you want to be able to return it if you need to. However, if you damage the mattress, there could be issues with your warranty. You may not be able to return it as a result, meaning you can be stuck with a damaged mattress. A mattress protector can help protect your mattress in case you need to return it.
