Mattress Protectors

Cooling performance or organic cotton

The Bedgear protectors are designed like athletic fabric. The Ver-Tex is the flagship, with an instant-cooling top layer for hot sleepers; the Air-X uses two air-cushion layers for airflow; the Dri-Tec wicks moisture and is the best all-rounder, with deep-pocket sidewalls that stay put; the StretchWick uses all-way stretch fabric so it moves with you instead of feeling like a plastic sheet; and the iProtect is the simple, breathable value option. If you sleep hot, pair one with a cooling mattress and a breathable sheet set rather than fighting the heat with the protector alone.

The Naturepedic range is the answer for anyone who chose an organic mattress and does not want to wrap it in polyester. The Waterproof Organic Mattress Protector Pad puts certified organic cotton on the sleeping surface over a waterproof layer that avoids vinyl and PVC, the Organic Cotton Quilted Mattress Pad adds a soft quilted layer, and there are kids' pads, crib covers and organic cotton pillow protectors to match.

Which one do you need

• New mattress, no special needs: the Bedgear Dri-Tec or the Basic Mattress Protector keeps it clean and covered.
• Hot sleeper: the Ver-Tex or Air-X, which are cooler than sleeping on the bare mattress.
• Children's beds and bunk beds: the Dri-Tec Kids protector or the Naturepedic kids' waterproof pad; see our kids' mattresses for the beds they fit.
• Cribs and toddler beds: Bedgear's Dri-Tec, Ver-Tex and Air-X crib protectors, or Naturepedic's breathable organic crib cover and quilted toddler pad.
• Sofa beds and guest rooms: the Dri-Tec and iProtect sofa bed protectors are sized to fold with the mattress.
• Pillows: the Bedgear Dri-Tec, StretchWick and iProtect pillow protectors, or Naturepedic's organic cotton waterproof pillow protectors, extend the life of a good pillow.

Fit it in store

Protectors are sized by mattress depth as well as width, and a modern 14- or 15-inch hybrid needs a deeper pocket than an older bed. Bring your mattress size and height, or buy the protector with the mattress, and we will match it on the spot at the Richmond showroom or the Katy showroom. Everything else for the bed, from sheets to blankets, is in our bedding collection.
