The first thought that may spring to mind when considering the use of a mattress protector is that they are only needed for young children or that they are merely an upselling technique used by salespeople. Yet, these are mis-conceptions that could not be further from the truth. There are in fact many reasons why a mattress protector should be used by everyone, here are some examples:
Hygienic
Think about how often a mattress is thoroughly cleaned. Once? Twice? Maybe even never at all! Now, considering that a healthy young adult will sweat 20 millilitres per hour when sleeping, it is clear that an unprotected mattress will absorb a lot of moisture and become unpleasant over time. Above all else this is a hygiene issue that could lead to a lot of nasty germs and bacteria building up inside a mattress. A good mattress protector will absorb all the perspiration and can be washed for repeat use to help maintain a good level of hygiene.
Keeps a Mattress Feeling ‘Like New’
Not only can perspiration be a hygiene issue, it can also seriously hinder the quality and comfort life of a mattress. Moisture of any kind in fact will wear down the foams in a mattress that give it its buoyancy and comfort qualities. It has a similar effect to that of a kitchen sponge. Even if only a little moisture seeps through, after years of use this will add up to leave the mattress in a sorry state. A mattress protector can maximise the lifespan of a mattress by eliminating the risk of vital foams being damaged from overnight perspiration and the occasional spills.
Warranty Protection
Using a mattress protector is an extremely simple and effective way of ensuring a mattress remains covered during its warranty period. Though most new mattresses will come with at least a 30-day warranty, it only takes the slightest of stains for it to be voided. Unbeknown to many, but just a single night’s sleep on an unprotected mattress can render a warranty void, with stains notoriously difficult to remove. The headache of having the buy an entirely new mattress can be easily avoided by using a good quality protector. By absorbing any liquids,themselves, mattress protectors remove the possibility of any damage being caused to a mattress that will void its warranty.
