Mattress protector benefit #1: A mattress protector functions to protect the bed mattress.
Because a mattress protector is waterproof, it will repel liquids. This is especially helpful with babies and young children, as night time wetting accidents can stain and ruin the mattress. Our mattresses are each about 8 years old, but because we've used the mattress protectors on them, they still look new. By using a mattress protector you can help to extend the life of your bed mattress.
Mattress protector benefit #2: A mattress protector is essential to those who suffer from allergies to dust.
Dust mites live in bed mattresses. These microscopic cousins of the spider thrive in bedding and can cause allergic symptoms. A mattress protector works by sealing in the dust mites, so the particles cannot become airborne where they can cause allergy problems. We use mattress protectors on all the beds in our home. We've also enclosed the box springs with mattress protectors as well. It has really seemed to help with the allergy symptoms as we have a lot of dust mite allergies in our family.
Mattress protector benefit #3: A mattress protector increases the comfort of the bed.
