Collection: Waterproof Mattress Protectors

Quick Answer: Waterproof mattress protectors use a membrane layer beneath a fabric surface to block liquids while remaining breathable and silent. The best waterproof protectors use a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) membrane rather than PVC or vinyl, as TPU is quieter, more breathable, and more durable. Essential for households with children, pets, or incontinence concerns.

Mattress Construction & Real Price Ranges

Pocket coil mattresses ($599-$2,499) offer individual wrapped coils for motion isolation,great for couples. Memory foam ($499-$1,999) contours to pressure points but can sleep warm unless gel-infused. Hybrid mattresses ($899-$3,999) combine coil support with foam comfort layers, giving you the best of both worlds. Natural latex ($1,299-$3,499) lasts 12-20 years and stays cool, making it worth the investment for eco-conscious shoppers.

We stock queen sizes (60" × 80") most heavily,they're 60% of our sales. King mattresses (76" × 80") require a minimum 76" wide bedroom and cost $200-$400 more than queens. Twin XL (38" × 80") works perfectly for tall single sleepers or adjustable bed bases. Every mattress comes with our 60-night comfort guarantee because we know you can't truly judge a mattress in 15 minutes at a showroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brad, Owner (since 1987): "A waterproof protector is the first thing I recommend after any mattress sale if there are children or pets in the house. The cost is minimal compared to the mattress itself, and a good spill on an unprotected mattress can mean replacement much sooner than anyone expects."

Frequently Asked Questions

Are waterproof mattress protectors noisy?

Modern quality waterproof protectors using a TPU membrane or a laminated knit backing are virtually silent. Cheaper protectors using vinyl or PVC create a noticeable crinkle sound with every movement. If noise is a concern, always ask specifically about the membrane type or feel and flex the product in-store before purchasing.

Will a waterproof protector make me sleep hot?

Some waterproof protectors restrict airflow more than non-waterproof options. Look for protectors with a cotton terry or knit top surface and a TPU membrane rather than a solid plastic layer. These breathe significantly better and are much less likely to cause night sweats than older-generation vinyl protectors.

How do I maintain the waterproofing of a mattress protector?

Wash according to the care label, typically in warm water on a gentle cycle. Dry on low heat; high temperatures can degrade the waterproof membrane over time. Avoid fabric softener, which coats fibres and can reduce the effectiveness of the membrane backing. With proper care, a quality TPU protector remains waterproof for several years.

Do waterproof protectors protect against dust mites?

Waterproof protectors with a tightly fitted, full-encasement design block dust mite access to the mattress. A standard fitted-sheet-style waterproof protector protects the top surface but not the sides or bottom. For full dust mite protection, an encasement-style protector that zips around the entire mattress is more effective.
