Mattress Protectors
Why do you need a mattress protector?
The average person spends about a third of their lives in bed, meaning that your mattress can become a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi and dust mites- all of which can cause skin irritation, illness and sleep disruption.
According to The Sleep Council:
-
The average adult loses 285ml of fluid each night.
-
An average bed contains 10,000 dust mites that produce more than two million droppings, which can aggravate allergies.
-
Humans shed around 454g of dead skin over the course of a year, much of which ends up nestled in your bed.
-
A dirty mattress can contain worrying levels of staphylococcus, enterococcus, norovirus and even MRSA.
Not only this but the moisture from our bodies while sleeping can make its way deep into the mattress, causing issues within.
A mattress protector works as a barrier between you and your mattress, catching the fluid, dust mites, stains and so on before they reach your mattress. Unlike the mattress, the protector can be thrown in the washing machine and cleaned as regularly as your bedding.
Mattresses are very difficult to clean, especially without causing damage by adding to the moisture or dislodging the filling. For this reason, we at And So To Bed believe prevention is better than damage, rather than finding a way to reverse it.
