I had a terrible back pain a few days ago, and we thought of changing our mattress. After a lot of discussion and research, we finalized on buying a mattress online. Since it was an orthopedic mattress and not the regular one, we had to give it a lot of thought as to how should we utilize the investment optimally so that it stays clean and new. How do we protect it from the spills? How difficult it would be to clean the stains?. The thought of buying a mattress protector has been going on in our heads since then.
Why Mattress Protector Is a Must-Have For Your Bed?
After a lot of research on what is a mattress protector and why we need it, I decided to share my thoughts with all of you. I hope this helps you in deciding on why you must buy a Mattress Protector.
Keeps the mattress clean
The primary purpose of a mattress protector is to protect the mattress from any spill or stain. It gets challenging for anyone to protect the mattress with just a bedsheet.
- We all sweat(more or less) at night.
- We do have some amount of oil on skin/face.
- Ladies, we all go through nights wherein we forget to remove our makeup, what then?
- Mommies will relate to me here, that what when you have to put your kid to sleep without a diaper?
All the things mentioned above can easily be soaked by a bedsheet which will obviously make its way to the mattress and then there’s no way out. You’ll have to wash it hard the next morning, and still, there will be a patch of stain which will never come out.
A mattress protector prevents these from getting into the mattress. Since it can be taken off quickly, washed and placed back on to the mattress, its a comfortable option to be considered.
Helps you in preventing dust mite allergies.
My younger daughter catches up allergies too fast. She is just 1.5 years and is often falls ill with common symptoms like a blocked nose, sneezing etc. Dust mite allergies are very common these days. Mattress protector works excellent in preventing dust mites from being formed by covering your mattress and giving you full round protection.
Keeps the mattress “like new” for long
Any kind of moisture or spilling is bound to go down to the mattress. It reduces the comfort level which you once had gotten when the mattress was new. You know the saying “The small water droplets will fill a big ocean.” This is precisely what happens when you spill too much again and again.
It is very similar to how a kitchen sponge becomes if you do not clean it. You will need to replace your mattress more quickly without the protector.
A mattress protector is made from water-resistant materials hence protecting any liquid to penetrate to the mattress however still allowing much airflow and breathability.
Keep your warranty in place for longer
I didn’t know this earlier, but while reading the T&C of the warranty on the mattress, we found out that a soiled or stained mattress means that your warranty is null and void. This might sound very untrue, and so you can go through the warrant of your mattress and find it out yourself. You can browse through mattress protector option online as well. You’d find great varieties which will hopefully meet all your needs and requirements.
So what are you waiting for? Go find that perfect mattress protector and keep your mattress clean and shiny as a new one.
