If You Don’t Have a Mattress Protector, Respectfully, What Are You Doing?
It’s fair to say that a new mattress is often a solid investment. You sleep on it every night (or, in our case, work from it all day, too), so why shouldn’t it be, right? That’s why, if you think about it, a good quality mattress protector should be given equal importance as well. These babies not only reduce wear and tear on your brand new, expensive threads and keep your bed stain-free, but they also have the power to reduce the number of dust mites and allergens that collect in your mattress over the years, too.
So, in the name of peak adulting, we’ve trawled through a bunch of retailers to round up the best mattress protectors tailored to your bed size. A fair few are even on sale, so you’ll wanna jump on them quickly.
The Best Mattress Protector for a Single Bed
Emma Mattress Protector V3
Made from 3D knitted fabric for top-of-the-line ventilation and moisture/temperature regulation, this one from Emma Sleep is perfect for those of you who might get a lil’ sweaty while you sleep. This baby also contains natural probiotics, which are released upon friction when you sleep. What does that mean? It creates a micro-climate that doesn’t allow for allergens and dust mites to grow. Say goodbye to the constant sniffles!
Where to buy: Emma Sleep ($135.20)
Bedecor Mattress Protector
If you’ve got kids who are still learning how to potty-train (especially when it comes to wetting the bed at night), this 100 per cent waterproof protector is set to do the trick by protecting your child’s mattress from any long-term urine stains and odour.
