Mattress protector 160x200 cm

A mattress protector is a thin layer (max 1 cm) placed on top of the bed's mattress topper. Mattress protectors commonly feature elastics at all four corners, which are secured over the mattress topper, ensuring the protector remains in place, even if you move during sleep. Once the elastics are fitted over the corners, the sheet is then stretched over the mattresses. The purpose of a mattress protector is to shield the bed's other mattresses from moisture, bacteria, and dirt, as well as providing protection against draughts and cold rising from below.

Mattress protector

A mattress protector, also known as a protective layer, serves mainly to safeguard the bed's mattresses.
An advantage of using a mattress protector is that it is machine washable, making it easy to remove sweat, dirt, and bacteria. When the mattress protector needs to dry, it is essential that it is not tumble dried, but instead allowed to hang and air dry. During drying, we recommend that you repeatedly stretch the mattress protector by gently pulling on the sides and ends. This helps minimise shrinkage of the mattress protector.

Boil-proof mattress protectors

For a cleaner and more hygienic sleeping environment, choosing a boil-proof mattress protector can be beneficial. Washing the mattress protector at high temperatures ensures that dust mites and other bacteria are eliminated, which can be particularly advantageous for allergy sufferers.

Mattress protectors in various sizes

At HOME-TEX, we always have a wide selection of mattress protectors, available in various types and sizes. Whether you are searching for a mattress protector for a pram, cot, junior bed or double bed, you will certainly find what you need in our shop. It's crucial to ensure that the chosen mattress protector fits the dimensions of the bed. If the measurements don't align, it will be impossible to stretch the elastics of the mattress protector over the corners, causing it to bunch up under the sheet.
