Menu  |  Mattress Pads

A mattress pad is critical in helping you sleep better. Your mattress is exposed to dust mites, air born dust, mold sports, bacteria released from your body through perspiration, bed bugs, dead skin cells, and pet dander. All of these items make your bed an allergy full environment.

Sleeping in this environment makes the body struggle to reach deep sleep because the body is typically congested and it raise the chance of sinus infections and colds.

A premium mattress pad adds a layer of protection between the mattress and you. This keeps the mattress cleaner, and it allows you a better night sleep.


Key Features to look for in a Mattress Pad

Today there are many different types of mattress pads. When choosing a mattress pad it is important that you focus on the 3 key reasons you use a mattress pad:

• Does the Mattress Pad change the way my mattress feels?
  A good Mattress pad is to protect the mattress; it should not change the way the mattress feels. If it changes the feel, it could effect how you sleep. You chose the mattress because it felt good
  
  
• Is the mattress pad waterproof?
  A good Mattress pad should not allow anything to penetrate the pad and affect the mattress. The easiest way to guarantee this is to find a mattress pad that is waterproof. Today, they make waterproof mattress pads that also breath. It is built like gortex fibers that repel water, but let air though.
  
• Is the mattress pad guaranteed?
  Any premium mattress pad should come with a guarantee that if anything stains the mattress pad, or if the elastic or the fibers break down through normal use the manufacture will replace it. Super premium pads will also guarantee that if any substance stains the pad and penetrates the pad and stains the mattress they will replace the mattress along with the pad.

Mattress pads can be made of any of the same fibers a sheet is made of. Premium mattress pads are made with natural fibers, cotton, wool, or silk. Be careful with mattress pads made of synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers tend to change the way your mattress feels because they do not breath and they do not stretch like natural fibers do.
