There are many products available to help prolong the life of mattress. Two of these products are mattress covers and mattress protectors. While both are similar, this blog will help to know about the differences.
Mattress protectors and mattress covers are both protective barrier, and both provide protection that can extend the life of a mattress and keep a warranty valid.
But they differ in construction. A mattress protector shields only the sleep surface, while a mattress cover completely surrounds the mattress, including the underside.
Mattress Protectors
Mattress protectors are 5 sided
It is placed on the top of the mattress and similar to how a fitted sheet covers the bed. Mattress protectors are easier to remove than mattress covers because protectors don’t cover the entire mattress. This flexibility gives protectors an advantage if you regularly plan on removing it for laundry.
Mattress protectors are more economical.
They are ideal if you would like good quality protection against spills and harmful particles. However, mattress protectors are still effective at acting as a barrier against liquid spills and other particles. They are also breathable which can help produce a higher quality sleep. Ideally, mattress protectors should be waterproof.
Mattress Covers
Mattress covers are 6 sided
They are zippered and cover the mattress on all sides which helps to offer protection for the entire mattress. Mattress covers are also breathable which helps make sleeping more comfortable. Covers are more durable than mattress protectors and can offer protection from bed bugs. Overall, a mattress cover would be better if you want a higher level of protection. A mattress cover would also be the preference if your mattresses are more prone to frequent spills such as from bodily fluids. Mattress covers are also better for those who have sensitive skin.
It is not recommended to use mattress covers on spring mattresses. The cover is more suitable for use on foam or latex mattresses, and some requires an inner cover, such as a common jersey inner cover or a flame retardant inner cover.
Mattress covers are a variety of styles.
Mattress covers come in more styles than mattress protectors, and the styles and materials can be customized according to your needs. Common styles are waterfall covers, pocket covers, tape edge sleeves. You can change the materials and add your brand name to the border. The zipper can also be customized.
