Mattress cover

When you read the word cover, you imagine that it is to protect, so a mattress cover will be something that protects the mattress. Well, so far everything is clear, but would you really know how to define what a mattress cover is and what differentiates it from other protective elements? We are here for something.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify that the mattress cover is a product that protects the mattress in an integral way from dirt, humidity and its natural deterioration. In short, they perfectly cover all 6 sides and are usually made with a U- or L-shaped zipper that makes them easy to put on.

With this explanation, you may be wondering what the difference is between a mattress cover and a mattress protector or even if they are the same thing. Let's start by clarifying that they are not the same and, now, we are going to know what the main differences are:

Mattress covers:

• They completely cover the mattress, protecting it on all 6 sides.
• If you have a slatted base, it is the best protection for your mattress because dust does not settle on the bottom.
• They have a U-shaped or L-shaped zipper that facilitates their placement and adjustment.

Mattress protector:

• Protects 5 sides of the mattress: the top and the sides
• Ideal if you sleep on a divan or upholstered base, as it covers all exposed parts of the mattress.
• They fit under the mattress with an elastic band like a fitted sheet.

Why it is useful to buy a mattress cover

Mattress covers, as we have already said, completely cover the mattress and, therefore, offer it an extra layer of protection. Its main function is to protect the integrity of the mattress and, of course, we all like to keep our mattress intact for as long as possible.

In this way, we can say that mattress covers extend the life of the mattress, allow it to remain as new and delay the deterioration that occurs over the years. When you put the cover on it, it will be covered and totally isolated from dust.

When you put the mattress cover on, it acts as a barrier to stains and moisture, so it stays clean and in great condition (which doesn't free you from washing the mattress from time to time, but it does less periodically).

The covers incorporate padding and treatments that help to considerably improve the comfort of your mattress. In addition, the different fabrics and the different compositions create an immense range of features that can be added to the mattress through the covers.

Another advantage that mattress covers give us is that they protect against any fluid. They act as waterproof and prevent moisture from penetrating the mattress.
