Why Every Bed Deserves a Luxury Mattress Protector
A high-quality mattress protector is more than just an insurance policy against spills. It can improve sleep hygiene, help allergy sufferers and keep your sheets fitting smoothly. Below we tackle the questions customers often ask once they already know the basic benefits of luxury protectors.
Will a mattress protector make the bed hotter or noisier?
Not if you choose a protector crafted from breathable natural fibres. Our cotton-rich protectors allow air to circulate, so body heat escapes rather than building up. They are also woven to stay silent, with no plastic crinkle when you turn over in the night.
For more breathable layers, explore our mattress toppers and protectors collection, where every piece is designed to feel as quiet and cool as your best cotton sheets.
Do I still need a protector if I already use a topper?
Yes. A topper improves comfort, while a protector safeguards both the topper and the mattress beneath. Think of it as a final, easily washable shield that keeps deeper layers in pristine condition. A protector also helps hold the topper in place, reducing subtle shifts that can occur as you move during sleep.
How often should a protector be washed, and at what settings?
For most households, washing every four to six weeks is ideal. Use a mild detergent and a warm setting of forty degrees to remove perspiration and allergens without harming the quilting. Tumble dry on low heat or line-dry to preserve fibre loft.

Can a luxury protector help with allergies or asthma?
Absolutely. A tightly woven cotton cover acts as a barrier against dust-mite activity, one of the leading triggers for night-time allergies. Regular laundering removes microscopic particles before they build up, helping you breathe more easily while you sleep.
For another layer of defence, consider pairing your protector with our range of high-quality duvet covers made from tightly woven cotton.
Will a protector affect how fitted sheets stay on deep mattresses?
A well-cut protector adds minimal thickness yet keeps its profile neat, so your fitted sheet still glides on and stays in place. Look for protectors with fully elasticated skirts to hug the mattress sides securely, whether you use a standard or extra-deep model.
A finishing touch that feels invisible
A luxury protector brings peace of mind without altering the feel of your mattress. Quiet, breathable and easy to launder, it is a discreet upgrade that extends the life of every other layer on the bed.
