Mattress protector

If you have never considered that your mattress needs a protector, it may be the ideal time to do so. And if you have a young child who doesn't have one yet, we don't know what you're waiting for!

If you like risk, that's fine with us, we're also into going on an adventure, but there are times when it's not worth taking the risk. And there are things that are not worth risking either, among them: the well-being of a mattress. We know that you are one of those who does not clean the mattress, although we trust that you change the sheets often. However, that is not enough to keep the mattress in good condition. A protector would make your life easier and we are sure that you will thank us.

Why it is essential to have a mattress protector

The mattress protector is intended to prevent natural wear and tear on a mattress, and who doesn't want to keep their mattress intact for longer? We are going to know the benefits of a protector, to see if that is how you start to consider buying it. Although let us tell you that if you have children and you don't have one, we don't know what you are waiting for!

As you already know, the basic function of a mattress protector is to protect your bed from all those external agents that can damage it, such as humidity, dust, mites and liquids. It is a complement designed to keep your best companion of rest in good condition, so it is important to consider their well-being.

The fact that your mattress is totally protected and isolated from any residue that could damage it, means that its good condition is extended and its deterioration is delayed. In addition, in the hottest seasons it prevents the humidity produced by sweat from filtering. So, even before buying the sheets, you should consider that a mattress's best friend will always be its protector.

Does dust mite allergy ring a bell? Normal, because it is becoming more and more common. Here is some unpleasant but interesting information to keep in mind… When we sleep, the friction produced by our body when we move releases dead skin particles that… guess what? They end up on our mattress. And why don't you also guess what the mites' favorite food is? Exact. So if you want to prevent a new ecosystem led by mites from appearing on your mattress, the protector will prevent that dead skin from reaching your beloved mattress.

Assuming you don't already have a protector, one way to avoid dust mites is also to clean your mattress. How lazy, right? Well, with a protector, the conditions of the mattress remain optimal for longer, so it is necessary to wash it less frequently. In short, they are all advantages!
