| Protect-A-Bed Premium Mattress Protector
We get a fair number of people asking about how to protect their topper pad and mattress from liquids (spills, pet and child accidents, incontinence, etc.) or for a cover that is dust mite resistant for those with allergy concerns. In the last few years, new types of mattress protector pads have been developed that offer this sort of protection for both of these issues. These new mattress protectors use thin layers of waterproof membrane material (polyurethane laminate) beneath a soft, thin cotton Terry toweling top (terrycloth). These new mattress protectors are a huge improvement over the old style mattress protectors because they are breathable. The old style mattress protectors just didn't work well with memory foam because they didn't allow air to easily circulate back into the memory foam - so they would tend to sleep hot and change the basic feel of the memory foam pad (the foam would have trouble expanding back to its full height after being compressed since air wouldn't easily circulate back into the memory foam pads). But the new mattress protectors don't have these drawbacks. Since they are breathable, they don't change the feel of a memory foam topper or memory foam layered mattress and they do a great job of protecting against spills. And they also have the added benefit of helping in allergy situations as well (effective in preventing bacteria and dust mites from breeding in your topper pad or mattress). We've looked at a number of these new mattress protectors, and while they all are pretty similar we noticed some differences - mainly whether the protector made the typical crinkly sound when you moved about (due to the film) and whether the protector altered the way the memory foam topper felt. After testing out a few, we've come to really like the Premium Protect-A-Bed protector pad the best. The Premium Protect-A-Bed protector pad has a nice feel to it and doesn't crinkle when you move around. And it didn't change the way our memory foam pad felt or slept. All in all, we really like the Premium Protect-A-Bed protector pad and feel it is the best protector we've tested with the memory foam topper and memory foam layered mattress - it doesn't interfere with the feel or benefits of the memory foam and does a good job of protecting the mattress and offers allergy benefits as well. It has an elasticized skirt (fitted mattress pad style) so it can fit up to a 20" deep mattress depth. We now carry the Premium Protect-A-Bed protector pad as an accessory. You can order it along with your memory foam topper pad or you can also order it separately below. If you order the Topper Pad with the Premium Protect-A-Bed protector pad, these items do ship separately. So, you will receive the topper pad only as one package and the Premium Protect-A-Bed protector pad will arrive separately. Benefits include:
