When Do You Need a Waterproof Mattress Protector?
Quick answer: When spills or accidents are a risk, especially for kids' beds. A waterproof layer keeps moisture out of the mattress entirely.
Tontine waterproof mattress protectors offer the ultimate in protection for your mattress.
Because they’re waterproof, these mattress protectors provide a barrier for moisture migration to the mattress, so the mattress won’t get discoloured or stained because of sweat, saliva or any of life’s little mishaps.
What Does a Stain-Resistant Mattress Protector Do?
Quick answer: It stops marks setting into the mattress, protecting its condition, hygiene and warranty.
Stain resistant mattress protectors also help keep mattresses looking clean, but they do it in a different way to waterproof mattress protectors. Rather than completely stopping moisture that can stain the mattress from reaching the mattress, they absorb moisture that caused discolouration and stains and release those stains during washing, so they too remain looking clean and fresh.
Who Should Use an Anti-Allergy Mattress Protector?
Quick answer: Anyone sensitive to dust mites or allergens. It adds a treated barrier across the whole sleep surface.
Anti Allergy mattress protectors feature an anti-microbial treatment which inhibits the growth of bacteria, as well as mould and dust mites, which are known triggers of allergies and asthma.
If you or anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma, these mattress protectors make a great choice.
To provide you with complete peace of mind, Tontine Anti Allergy mattress protectors are approved by the National Asthma Council of Australia.
Why Choose a Quilted Mattress Protector?
Quick answer: A quilted protector adds a comfort layer as well as protection, softening the feel of the mattress while shielding it.
Quilted mattress protectors not only protect your mattress, they also provide an extra level of comfort as well, a little bit like mattress toppers.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are many different mattress protector options to consider, all with various features and degrees of protection, to cater for various needs.
Just like Tontine pillow protectors, all Tontine mattress protectors are machine washable.
