After the decision to choose our mattress, comes the question of How do I protect it? What should I put on it to make it last longer?, etc.
We know the confusions that usually occur when looking for the product that best protects our mattress, and that is why we are going to detail what each element consists of and what protective function they offer us:
– MATTRESS TOPPER
Mattress toppers have an inner padding that provides extra comfort to the user, and that is what differentiates them from mattress protectors. Some mattresses are not as comfortable as you might wish or, over time, they lose the comfort they initially had, but perhaps it is not the time to change it either; To do this, the ideal is to use a mattress topper that, in addition to protecting it from dirt and stains, will provide us with extra comfort, which will help us to obtain a healthier rest.
How is a mattress topper different from a mattress protector?
Mattress toppers are as easy to attach as a fitted sheet and protect our mattress, as well as providing an excellent level of comfort. There are waterproof mattress toppers, which protect our mattress from liquids while allowing our skin to breathe, thus avoiding heat. And there are also reversible mattress toppers, without waterproof film, and with fillings of different qualities and properties, such as fiber, cotton, etc.
– MATTRESS PROTECTOR
A mattress protector is a protective element that protects our bed from the top and sides, as it fits like a fitted sheet. Mattress protectors are waterproof items in most cases.
What is the main function of a mattress protector?
When there are problems with incontinence or risk of accidentally spilling liquids on the bed, the way to prevent them from reaching the mattress is by using a waterproof mattress protector. Velfont’s waterproof mattress protectors prevent liquids from reaching the mattress while providing total breathability, allowing our skin to breathe freely, avoiding the heat and annoying noises of old waterproof protectors. Mattress protectors are easily placed, thanks to the fact that they have a rubber band around their perimeter, fitting perfectly to the mattress, just like a fitted sheet.
– MATTRESS COVER
It is a protective element that can be made with different types of fabric. Normally, mattress covers are made of cotton, microfiber, bamboo… and cover the mattress completely, both above and below, thanks to its zipper closure.
What are the benefits of a mattress cover?
The mattress cover is the ideal tool to keep a new mattress clean and to keep it looking unchanged for longer. Mattress covers also serve to give a second youth to an old mattress since they envelop it completely. Thanks to their zipper, the mattress covers are easy to place and guarantee complete hygiene, isolating it from dust and dirt.
– FITTED SHEET
It is an item that is placed on the mattress, usually as the last element of protection, to sleep directly on it. The fitted sheet fits the mattress perfectly thanks to the rubber that it has around its perimeter.
We can find two types of fitted sheets: those made with top quality natural fabrics, very absorbent and breathable, such as bamboo and cotton, with anti-mite treatment, etc. And as revolutionary items we also find the breathable and hyper-breathable waterproof fitted sheets , which provide us with the same sensation as any conventional fitted sheet thanks to their very thin waterproof sheets, but ensuring perfect protection against liquids, while offering us total breathability, avoiding heat and sweat.
