A mattress protector is always placed between the mattress and the sheet, and it's so thin that you won't even feel it's there. It often has elastics at the corners for easy attachment to the mattress topper, preventing it from bunching up under the sheet.Purpose of a mattress protector- mattress protectors true purpose is to protect the bed or mattress topper from dirt, sweat, and bacteria.Allergy-friendly mattress protectorBesides protecting and extending the lifespan of your bed, a mattress protector also provides a much healthier and more allergy-friendly sleeping environment.
