Whether you’ve invested in a custom mattress or purchased one directly from a retailer, it’s an investment that most people want to protect for many years to come. The best way to keep it in pristine condition for its full life cycle is to invest in a protective covering. When it’s left unprotected, it becomes vulnerable to a variety of issues, including germs, contaminants, or mold.

How Does Your Custom Mattress Get Dirty?

1. Moisture

As these contaminants grow, the weight of your mattress will increase. They can also cause your family health complications, including breathing troubles, asthma, and worsened allergies.

2. Pests

Mold and mildew caused by moisture can also attract mites and parasites. The presence of fleas and bedbugs can easily spread throughout your home. They can also be challenging and costly to remove, so avoiding them in the first place by keeping your mattress covered and clean is the best way to keep your home parasite-free.

3. Dust

Consider the dust that builds up on your bookshelves if they’re not cleaned frequently. Your mattress collects dust as well, which attracts tiny mites. These little creatures produce waste that is unsanitary and the main cause of in-home allergies.

4. Pet Problems

Many pet owners allow their animals to sleep on the bed with them. Your furry friends can also contribute to a dirty mattress, leaving behind dander, dirt, bugs, saliva, or urine. A mattress cover ensures you can continue to breathe freely and cuddle with your family cat or dog, while avoiding an unsanitary bed.
