If you recently invested in a new mattress, your next purchase should be a mattress protector. Depending on the type you buy, this unique piece of bedding will cover your new sleeper to keep it and you protected from a variety of different problems. The guide below will quickly explain the main goals of adding one to your bed. 

Prevent Stains

While you probably would rather avoid any stains on your mattress, it’s even more important to do so if it came with a warranty. Depending on your manufacturer, it could take anything from a small pen mark to a spilled drink to void it. A waterproof mattress protector will absorb any body oils, makeup smudges, and other possible staining agents before they can reach your bedding. Then, when it gets dirty, all you have to do is throw it in the washing machine, which is a much easier and cheaper alternative to getting your mattress cleaned. 

Protect Health

If you have allergies, adding a mattress protector to your bed is one of the best things you can do to ensure you get a good night’s sleep. A mattress can be a haven for dust mites, microbes, mold, and other allergens and skin irritants. Look for one that is waterproof and designed to filter allergies, such as a zippered encasement. These will make it much less likely for you to develop breathing problems while your sleep or suffer from allergy-related symptoms like a runny nose or sore throat.
