As someone who frequently needs to change bedding due to my sons medical challenges, I know how uncomfortable and upsetting it can be. It's not just an inconvenience, but it can also lead to hygiene issues and costly mattress replacements (Yes, I have replaced a few in the past). That’s why investing in a high-quality mattress protector is a smart choice. In this blog, we'll discuss the top five reasons why the best mattress protector for bedwetters is a must-have.
1. Waterproof
The most important feature of a mattress protector is its ability to keep your mattress dry. The best mattress protectors are made of waterproof materials that prevent liquids from seeping through to your mattress. This is especially important for bedwetters who are prone to accidents during the night. A good quality mattress protector will ensure that your mattress stays dry and clean, providing a hygienic sleeping surface for you.
2. Benefits of Bi Elastic Fabric in a mattress protector
Bi-elastic fabric is a type of stretchy fabric that is designed to fit snuggly around your mattress. This type of fabric is great because not only does it create a barrier that prevents liquids from seeping through to your mattress but it also makes the protector more comfortable to sleep on as it conforms to the shape of your mattress. A bi-elastic mattress protector will stay in place all night, so you don't have to worry about it shifting or bunching up.
3. Antibacterial and Antifungal
This is an important factor which can prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms, which can cause odors, stains, and other hygiene issues. A good quality mattress protector will have these properties to keep your sleeping environment clean and hygienic.
4. Non-PVC so Quiet
Some mattress protectors are made of PVC, which can make a crinkling noise every time you move. This can be quite disruptive to your sleep making you feel self-conscious and irritated. The best mattress protectors for bedwetters are made of non-PVC materials, such as the easy clean bi elastic mattress protector so they are quiet and won't disturb your sleep. You can sleep soundly knowing that your mattress protector is doing its job without making a sound.
5. Easy to Clean
Finally, for frequent accidents you would want a mattress protector that is easy to clean and fast drying. Ideally, you want a protector that is machine-washable and dryer-friendly. This makes it easy to keep your protector clean and fresh, even if you have accidents often. At home of Huggles (and mum of a kidney kid) I have learnt that by separating the absorbable layer from the waterproof bi elastic backing, you remove the frustration of the regular cleaning process. Simply spot clean the bi-elastic layer and toss the absorbent layer in the washer and dryer. You will have a clean protector ready to use in no time.
Conclusion
Investing in a mattress protector for bedwetters is a smart choice. Not only does it protect your mattress, provide a hygienic sleeping surface but the right mattress protector will also make your life a little easier. When shopping for a mattress protector, make sure to look for one that is waterproof, made of bi-elastic fabric, antibacterial and antifungal, non-PVC, and easy to clean. With the right mattress protector, you can sleep soundly knowing that you are protected from accidents and your mattress is safe and hygienic.
