Posted by Nancy Roselli on December 15th, 2020

It is a good thing that Indian customers have identified the mattress protector as an essential part of home furnishing. However, misconceptions regarding mattress protectors still exist among people. Many people think that the only purpose a mattress protector serves is aesthetic. As a result, they focus on the design and beauty aspects of the mattress protector while shopping for one, totally neglecting the utility aspects of the product. In this article, we shall list out the various purposes a mattress protector serves.

1. Mattress protectors will protect the warranty of your mattress
   Human bodies secrete a lot of oil and sweat. When we sleep at night, these oil and sweat producing glands are continuously at work. If we do not use a mattress protector, it will get absorbed by the material of the mattress.
   
   You will not be able to see any difference on your mattress if you sleep on it for a few days. However, within weeks, you will be able to notice that the mattress has started changing its colour and developing mild stains and spots. If you do not take any measures to stop it, within a couple of months, permanent stains will appear on your mattress. It will render the warranty of your mattress void. So, if you want to avoid such a situation, the best thing you can do is get protective bed covers.
   
   
2. Mattress protectors will prevent watery accidents
   Accidents are unfortunate but might not be avoidable all the time. A child may spill water on your mattress. Now, most mattress brands provide warranty cover on accidental water spills. However, it would be a hassle for you to try to convince the seller about the accident and claim the warranty cover. It would be best if you prevent the water spilling situation, and the perfect way to do it is to get a waterproof mattress protector for your bed.
   
   
3. Mattress protectors prevent dust mite allergy
   Mattress protectors or protective bed covers serve a great purpose of preventing the accumulation of dust mites in your bed. Most good quality mattress protectors repel dust mites and spare you the horror of dust mite allergy.
   
   Although it is perfectly normal to check out the design of the protective bed covers before buying it, your focus should be on the benefits it provides. Whenever you buy a protective bed cover, you should ask the seller what purposes will it serve. Even if you buy a mattress protector online, you must check out the specifications properly.
