Mattress and pillow protectors are about more than just adding some cushioning to your bed. Mattress protectors can help keep your mattress clean, reduce allergens, and keep the mattress looking and feeling new longer. While pillow protectors help reduce the chances of bugs and minimizes germs and allergens. But what pillow and mattress protectors are right for you?
Pillow Protectors
After choosing your perfect pillow, you will definitely want to hang onto it for a while. That’s where pillow protectors come in. Pillow protectors are like a second pillow case that slips on between the case and the actual pillow. Protectors not only protect us from allergens and bugs, but they can help with many other sleep issues as well. Night sweats can affect many different people including people with medical problems like cancer, women going through menopause, and even children. In a case study of nearly 2,300 individuals, 41% of the patients admitted to having night sweats during a month period. If you suffer from these night time issues, your new protector can help keep your sweat from being absorbed into the material of the pillow. Some pillow protectors can also help your skin and hair look better because of smooth, low friction materials. If you like a cooler temperature fabric, cotton is the pillow protector fabric for you. Cotton allows air to freely pass between the fibers of the pillow. It is also highly absorbent and hypoallergenic. If you aren’t worried about temperature, but would like something to help your skin and have an anti-aging effect, the silk is your ideal choice. It is hypoallergenic, helps with hair and skin, and is also absorbent. There are also many other fabrics to choose from, but for the standard protector, choose either silk or cotton for your best choice.
Mattress Protectors
While there are a lot of brands and fabrics to choose from in mattress protectors, there are three main types: fitted, elastic strap, and zippered. Your decision in your mattress pad should be based on your needs and desires. Mattress protectors help protect against stains, dirt, moisture, and bugs. It can also provide extra comfort, support, and increases the lifespan of your mattress. For stains and general dirt, choose an elastic strap option. For the ultimate protection against moisture and bugs, the best choice is to go with a vinyl zippered protector. But if you want comfort, support, and guards against strains, a fitted protector is for you. These protectors range in price, so make sure to set a price point first before purchasing your new bed protector.
The perfect time to choose a new mattress or pillow protector is after cleaning your mattress or after purchasing a replacement. If you’d like more information about your new mattress or pillow protector, talk with one of our mattress specialists about the best option for you.
