How often should I wash a mattress protector?
It's recommended to wash your mattress protector every 1-2 months. This helps maintain hygiene and prolongs its life.
Can a mattress protector prevent bed bugs?
Yes, encasement-style protectors fully enclose the mattress and can prevent bed bugs from entering or escaping. Look for zippered options labeled as bed bug proof.
What certifications should I look for?
Look for OEKO-TEX and CertiPUR-US certifications. These ensure the protector is free from harmful substances and made with safe materials.
Are waterproof protectors noisy?
