Mattress Protectors

What is a mattress protector? 

• A mattress protector is designed to protect your bed from the elements, but it also plays an important role in protecting your health.
•  Mattress protectors can also reduce the risk of breathing in dust mites, which causes allergies, and asthma. They can also prevent bed bugs from infesting your mattress. 
• The best time to purchase a mattress protector is when you buy a new mattress. Read our blog: The Benefits of using a mattress protector.

How often should I wash my mattress protector?

• A good way of knowing when to wash your mattress protector is that you wash it on the same day as your other bedding. This way it is all done at once.

What's the difference between the mattress topper and mattress protectors?

• A mattress topper is a pre-filled extra layer of comfort and is not specifically designed to help with protecting your mattresses. However, a mattress protector, on the other hand, is designed to keep your mattress clean from spills, bodily fluids and oils, dirt and other bacteria.

How do I keep the mattress protector in place so it doesn’t move around?

• Great News - At Manchester Factory, our collection of mattress protectors is fully fitted. So the best way to ensure that your protector stays in place, make sure you get the right size but checking the width and length but also check the height of the mattress to ensure the skirt is deep enough around the mattress.

What is the most breathable protector for a hot sleeper?

• At the Manchester Factory, we would recommend something that is a natural fibre such as cotton or bamboo. Our number one recommendation is the Sienna living Bamboo mattress protector as bamboo breathes more than cotton and pulls the moisture away from the body.
