Mattress Cover
A mattress cover is a protective layer placed over a mattress to safeguard it from various forms of damage and maintain hygiene.
Material
Mattress covers are constructed from a diverse range of materials, each offering different properties:
- Polyester: A common, affordable synthetic fabric known for its durability and resistance to shrinking and stretching. Often used in basic, everyday covers.
- Cotton: A natural fiber offering breathability and comfort. Higher thread counts generally indicate a softer, more durable cover.
- Polypropylene: A lightweight, waterproof material frequently used in allergy and incontinence covers.
- Waterproof Membranes (TPU, PU): These are often laminated to fabrics like polyester or cotton to create a waterproof barrier, protecting against spills and stains.
- Tencel/Lyocell: Derived from wood pulp, this material is known for its softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.
- Bamboo: A sustainable option, bamboo offers natural antimicrobial properties and a soft, comfortable feel.
- Blends: Combinations of materials (e.g., polyester/cotton) are common to leverage the benefits of multiple fabrics.
Purpose & Function
The primary functions of a mattress cover include:
- Protection: Shields the mattress from spills, stains, dust mites, allergens, bed bugs, and general wear and tear.
- Hygiene: Creates a barrier against body oils, sweat, and dead skin cells, keeping the mattress cleaner for longer.
- Allergy Control: Specialized covers can block dust mites and other allergens, beneficial for allergy sufferers.
