Protect your Investment: The Importance of Mattress Protection

Quality mattresses are a worthwhile investment, as they provide a good night’s sleep for your customers and last for many years. To keep them in great condition and ensure that they remain a healthy place for your guests to sleep, it’s important to protect them.

A mattress protector is a minimal investment that can elongate the life of your mattress enormously. While some may think that a mattress protector only serves to protect your mattress from spills and stains, the benefits go beyond just that. Here are a few reasons to consider investing in a mattress protector:

Protect your customers’ health

A quality mattress protector can prevent bacteria, mold, dust mites, pet hair, and other allergens from building up in the mattress. For those with allergies or asthma, hypoallergenic protectors can be a lifesaver. By preventing dust mites from clinging to your mattress, these protectors can help alleviate symptoms like sniffles and sneezes.

Bed bugs are also something all accommodation providers must avoid. Bed bug mattress encasements are not a replacement for mattress protectors, but are an incredibly necessary protection step. They are an important measure to prevent bed bugs from entering the mattress. Bed bugs can easily hide in mattresses, furniture, and carpets, and they can quickly infest a room. Encasing the mattress in a fully sealed cover creates an impenetrable barrier that bed bugs cannot pass through, preventing them from making a home in the mattress. This approach makes it much easier to detect and eliminate any potential infestations before they become severe. As a result, accommodations can offer their guests a safe and comfortable sleeping environment, free from the nuisance and health risks associated with bed bugs.

Lengthen the life of your mattress

Mattresses can be expensive, so it’s important to make sure they last. A mattress protector can help extend the life of your mattress by protecting it from unsightly stains, unpleasant smells, and wear and tear. In addition, some warranties may be voided if the mattress is damaged by stains, so a protector can help protect your investment.

Humans will generally sweat around 25ml per hour of sleep, and without a mattress protector, all that moisture can seep into the mattress, causing bacteria to build up and making your bed an unhealthy place to sleep. A protector can help regulate moisture and improve air quality, creating a more pleasant sleeping environment. This is why waterproof mattress protectors are critically important. These protectors are designed to prevent liquids and stains from seeping into the mattress, making them an ideal choice for hotels that want to protect their mattresses from spills and stains caused by guests. They also help to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and mildew growth, ensuring a clean and hygienic sleeping environment for guests.

Be eco-friendly

Mattresses are one of the most commonly disposed-of items, so making them last as long as possible is beneficial for the environment. Furthering on from the Eco-Friendly discussion, benefit your carbon footprint with a environmentally sustainable mattress protector. Our DreamGreen range of mattress protectors all use recycled plastic bottles in their microfibre filling, so jump on board the sustainability train, while making your mattress last as long as possible so disposal is less frequent.

Enhance your guests’ comfort

Modern mattress protectors are not like the noisy, plasticky covers of the past. Many protectors now double as quilted toppers, providing an extra layer of cushion and improving overall sleep quality.
