What Is A Mattress Protector & Why Do You Need One?

 

A mattress protector is a removable bedding that protects your bed from spills, stains, allergens, and dust mites. 

It can be made from cotton, polyester, or even waterproof materials like TENCEL™. One of the benefits of a mattress protector is essential in keeping your sleep environment sparkling and clean. It also prolongs the life of a mattress by preventing it from getting worn out.

How Do I Know What Size Mattress Protector I Need?

 

A bed cover that is too small won't cover the entire mattress, leaving parts exposed and unprotected. Conversely, one that is too large can shift and bunch up, causing discomfort and reducing the protector's effectiveness.

Choosing the right mattress cover size is key to ensuring both protection and comfort. Use this size guide to find your perfect fit.

 

Cot Mattress Protector Size

Since babies and toddlers often wet the bed or spill milk while playing, it’s crucial to have a snugly fitting cot mattress protector. Cot mattresses typically measure 70 cm x 135 cm, so look for baby cot mattress protectors with dimensions around 70 cm x 135 cm x 20 cm to ensure a perfect fit.

 

 

Single Mattress Protector Size

 

Single beds typically measure 91 cm x 190 cm, making them perfect for children, teens, guest rooms, and smaller spaces. As the name suggests, this size can accommodate only one individual.

Keeping these beds clean can be a challenge, especially with kids who may not know how to maintain hygiene. That’s why a cover measuring 91 cm x 190 cm x 40 cm is a great solution, helping to keep the bed clean with minimal effort.

 

Super Single Mattress Protector Size

 

A super single bed measures around 107 cm x 190 cm, offering a bit more space than a standard single. This makes it great for growing children or single adults who enjoy having extra room to stretch out. For this size bed, the perfect cover measures 107 cm x 190 cm x 40 cm.

Queen Mattress Protector Size

 

The standard size of a queen bed measures 152 cm x 190 cm, perfect for couples or anyone who likes a bit more room to stretch out. While it is crucial to keep your shared bed clean, many people overlook the importance of temperature when choosing a mattress cover. 

Sharing a bed can lead to overheating, so in addition to selecting the right queen-size bed cover of 152 cm x 190 cm x 40 cm, consider materials like TENCEL™. These help regulate temperature, ensuring you and your partner stay cool throughout the night for a better sleep experience.

 

 

King Mattress Protector Size

 

A standard king-size mattress measures approximately 182 cm x 190 cm, making it an excellent choice for families with children. However, if cleanliness isn’t a priority, this spacious bed can trap allergens that impact everyone’s health. To keep your mattress in tip-top shape, select a protector that fits perfectly at 182 cm x 190 cm x 40 cm. Additionally, consider a hypoallergenic mattress cover to help fend off dust and allergens.

Mattress Protector Pocket Depth 

 

When shopping for a mattress cover, many people focus on length and width but often forget about pocket depth. Overlooking this detail can lead to a poor fit and reduced protection. In this section, we'll explain why pocket depth is a crucial dimension you shouldn't ignore.

 

What Is Pocket Depth For Mattress Protector?

 

The pocket depth of a protector tells you how thick of a mattress it can cover. This feature ensures the protector fits snugly, stays in place, and provides complete coverage.

What Depth For Mattress Protector Do I Need?

 

To find the perfect one, start by measuring the height of your bed, including any toppers. Next, choose a cover with a pocket depth that meets or exceeds this measurement. Ideally, aim for a depth that's 5 cm to 10 cm deeper than your mattress.

 

How To Measure Your Mattress

 

A great fit is guaranteed with accurate measurements. A well-fitting protector doesn't shift around and gives better protection and comfort. You avoid the hassle of returns and exchanges.

Just follow the steps below to measure for a mattress protector to get the right one for your king-size bed mattress protector.

Step-by-Step Guide To Measuring Your Mattress

 

1. Gather Your Tools. You'll only need a tape measure. A ruler or yardstick will do if you do not have a measuring tape.
2. Remove Bedding: Take off all bedsheets, blankets, and any mattress toppers on the bed. You want to get the measurement of only the bare mattress.
3. Measure The Length: Place the tape measure at one end of the bed. Extend it to the opposite end. Note down the length in inches or centimetres.
4. Measure The Width: Start from one side of the mattress and stretch out the tape measure to the other side. Then write down the width.
5. Measure The Depth: Measure from the bottom edge of a mattress to the top edge. Add in pillow tops or any extra padding; this will give you depth.
6. Double-Check Measurements: Double-check all dimensions to ensure their accuracy. Errors can be made in buying a protector of the wrong size.

 

 

More Tips For Accurate Measurements

 

• Measure Twice, Buy Once: Make sure you double-measure to avoid mistakes.
• Include Toppers: When measuring depth, include a mattress topper if you use one.
• Measure Edge to Edge: Always measure from the furthest points to get the most exact size.
• Choose The Fitted Style: Similar to a fitted bed sheet, a fitted protector, like the one Weavve offers, wraps snugly around the top and sides of your mattress. It can cover the bottom part too. The elastic corners make it easy to put on, saving you time and effort.

 

Should I Size Up When Buying A Mattress Cover?

 

Upsizing is usually not necessary when you buy a mattress protector. However, when your mattress depth is near the maximum fit for the protector's pocket, going with a bit deeper pocket may give you an even better fit. 

Always refer to the manufacturer's sizing guidelines to make the best choice.

How To Install A King-Size Mattress Protector

Thirdly, smooth out wrinkles for a tight fit. This process will ensure that your king-size mattress is well protected.

 

Can You Sleep Directly On A Mattress Protector?

Yes, you can sleep right on it! Just make sure to pick a high-quality non-toxic mattress cover made from safe, natural materials. Using a fitted sheet on top adds extra comfort and can also help extend the life of your bed.
