Which Mattress Protector Should I Choose?
The best mattress protector depends on what you want to protect against and how you like your bed to feel. Some customers prioritise waterproof protection, others want maximum breathability, while a quilted protector can provide a softer and more substantial layer beneath the fitted sheet.
Waterproof
A waterproof protector creates a barrier between the sleeping surface and your mattress, helping protect against accidental spills, moisture and everyday use.
Breathable
Breathability is particularly worth considering in warmer bedrooms. Materials and construction vary, so compare the individual protector specifications when sleeping temperature is important to you.
Quilted
Quilted protectors have a more substantial sleeping surface than very thin protectors and are a good option if you prefer a softer, more luxurious layer over your mattress.
Can a Mattress Protector Be Waterproof & Breathable?
Yes. Waterproof protection does not necessarily mean choosing a heavy or uncomfortable protector. Modern mattress protectors can combine a protective waterproof layer with materials and construction designed to allow moisture vapour to escape. Always check the individual product specification, as the materials and level of breathability vary between protectors.
Luxury Hotel-Style Mattress Protection
Mattress protection doesn't have to feel purely functional. Our premium range is expanding to include a luxurious quilted mattress protector designed to combine a more substantial, hotel-style sleeping surface with waterproof and breathable protection. Once available, it will provide a premium alternative for customers who want to protect a quality mattress without compromising the feel of their bed.
Mattress Protectors for Warmer Bedrooms
On the Costa Blanca, sleeping temperature is an important consideration. A mattress protector sits directly beneath your fitted sheet, so its materials and construction can influence how the sleeping surface feels. If you tend to sleep warm, look beyond waterproofing alone and consider the protector's breathability and surface material as well.

Before buying a fitted mattress protector, check both the width and length of your mattress as well as its depth. Modern mattresses can be considerably deeper than traditional models, particularly when combined with integrated comfort layers or a separate topper. The protector should fit securely without excessively compressing the mattress surface.
Mattress Protector or Mattress Topper?
Mattress Protector
Primarily used to protect the mattress and provide a clean layer beneath your fitted sheet. Depending on the design, it may also add a small amount of softness.
Mattress Topper
A much thicker comfort layer designed primarily to change the feel of the sleeping surface by adding cushioning and additional comfort.

Mattress protectors are particularly useful for guest bedrooms, holiday homes and rental properties where beds are used by different people throughout the year. A removable protective layer makes it easier to maintain the sleeping surface while helping protect the mattress underneath from everyday use.
Caring for Your Mattress Protector
Check the care label before washing or drying your protector, particularly with waterproof products where excessive heat may affect some materials. Regular washing according to the manufacturer's instructions helps keep the protector fresh and ready for everyday use.
