When it comes to a good night’s sleep, your mattress might get all the credit, but what you put on top can make just as big a difference. A mattress protector acts as a barrier between you and your mattress, shielding it from sweat, spills, dirt, and other contaminants.

Mattress Protectors

Mattress protectors are especially crucial for everyone, as they help keep your mattress fresh and long-lasting. Many protectors are waterproof or water-resistant, helping to prevent mold, mildew, and staining. Some even feature breathable, sweat-wicking designs for extra comfort.

Mattress Toppers

Mattress toppers, on the other hand, are all about comfort. A mattress topper is an extra layer that sits on top of your mattress to adjust its feel. Depending on the material, a topper can make your bed softer, plusher, or sometimes even slightly firmer.

Certified organic latex and organic wool provide natural support and breathability without the need for petroleum-based foams or polyester fills. Latex toppers can offer contouring support and help relieve pressure points, while wool toppers help you regulate your body temperature by naturally wicking moisture.
