You may use a mattress protector every night when you go to sleep, but do you what they are actually for and the benefits they bring? As you may have guessed, a mattress protector sits on top of your mattress and are commonly kept in place with elastic sides or straps. We like to think of the mattress protector as the unsung hero when it comes to a great night sleep. But what specific benefits can they bring to you?
What do Mattress Protectors Do?
Prolongs your mattress life
Mattresses can be an expensive investment. Simply by putting a mattress protector on your bed, you can prolong the life expectancy of your mattress, saving you money in the long run. If your mattress is made with internal springs, a mattress topper will help to take away the pressure placed on the springs, and keeping it covered with a protector is an extra layer of comfort and protection. Over time pressure can cause the internal springs to break, which can lead to a poor sleep quality, and an expensive bill when you have to purchase another mattress!
Simple and Easy To Wash
It’s almost impossible to properly wash your mattress. It’s not exactly something which can be put in the washing machine for a quick spin! That being said, having a mattress protector will help to keep your bed as hygienic as possible. While you can wash a mattress, you certainly can wash a mattress protector. This will help to keep your bed clean and hygienic, which in turn can help to improve your sleep quality.
Added comfort for you
Over time you may find that your body can change, but by adding a layer of soft cushioning, this can help reduce pressure on the body. Without needing to go out and buy a new mattress, a mattress protector will provide lasting comfort. By adding a mattress protector in between you and your mattress, you will really feel the benefit of added suppleness.
