Why should you use a mattress protector?

Mattress protector

A good mattress deserves a bodyguard. Not a crinkly, plastic one that sounds like you are unwrapping sweets every time you turn over, but a quiet, breathable shield that works while you sleep.

A Purecare mattress protector is designed to do exactly that. At its core, it protects your mattress from the things you cannot see but definitely do not want settling in. Spills, sweat, natural body oils and everyday moisture can gradually seep into a mattress, breaking down comfort layers and shortening its lifespan. A premium protector creates a discreet barrier that keeps your mattress fresher for longer, helping you protect your investment and maintain that just bought feel.

Breathability is where quality really matters. Purecare protectors are engineered to allow air to circulate while blocking liquids, so you stay cool and comfortable rather than trapped in heat. The result is protection without compromise. No stiffness. No rustling. Just uninterrupted sleep. Hygiene is another major benefit. A removable, washable protector makes it far easier to maintain a clean sleep environment. It helps reduce the build up of dust mites, allergens and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers or anyone who values a healthier bedroom.

In short, a Purecare mattress protector does three important things. It protects your mattress. It supports a cleaner, healthier sleep space. And it quietly extends the life of one of the most important pieces of furniture in your home.

Think of it as the invisible layer that keeps everything beneath it performing at its best, night after night.

Frequently asked questions about mattress protectors

Still wondering whether a mattress protector is really necessary? Here are the most common questions we’re asked.

🛡 Is it worth using a mattress protector?

Yes, especially if you want to protect your mattress investment. A quality mattress can last many years, but everyday exposure to perspiration, body oils, spills and allergens gradually breaks down its comfort layers.

Purecare mattress protectors create a breathable protective barrier that helps prevent moisture and contaminants from penetrating the mattress surface. This keeps your sleep environment cleaner and helps maintain the performance and longevity of your mattress. In many cases, using a protector is also required to keep your mattress warranty valid.

💧 What happens if I don’t use a mattress protector?

Without a mattress protector, your mattress absorbs everything that naturally occurs during sleep. Moisture, sweat, accidental spills and microscopic allergens can settle into the fibres and comfort layers. Over time, this can lead to staining, odours and a reduced lifespan.

Once liquids or stains penetrate a mattress, they cannot be properly cleaned or reversed. A Purecare mattress protector acts as a first line of defence, helping to prevent permanent damage before it happens.

🧼 Should you wash a mattress protector as often as sheets?

Purecare mattress protectors are designed to be washed as frequently as you would wash your regular sheets, typically weekly.  In fact, they can be used as a fitted sheet on their own due to their high quality materials.

All can be machine washed and tumble dried (remember to check the instructions first)

⚖️ What are the disadvantages of a waterproof mattress protector?

Lower quality waterproof protectors can sometimes feel stiff, noisy or less breathable. This can trap heat and affect overall sleep comfort.

Purecare mattress protectors are designed differently. They use advanced materials that provide waterproof protection while remaining soft, quiet and breathable. This means you benefit from protection without sacrificing comfort or temperature regulation.

🐜 Do bed bugs go through mattress covers?

Standard mattress protectors are not specifically designed to stop bed bugs. However, Purecare’s Omniguard 6 sided mattress protector fully encases your mattress with MiteTight® seams to prevent entry of bedbugs and dustmites.  Designed for bedbug protection, this mattress protector also plays a role in eliminating bugs once they are present.
