Keep your bed in tip-top shape with a mattress protector
Everyday life happens. Morning coffee, weekend breakfasts in bed or the occasional spill can all find their way onto your mattress. A mattress protector (also known as a mattress cover), adds a practical layer between your bedding and mattress, helping to manage spills, dust and general wear.
Lightweight and removable, this essential piece of bedding acts as a protector for a mattress, shielding it from spills, stains, dust and more. Not only do mattress protectors make cleaning up messes a breeze, they also keep your bed looking and feeling fresh.
Mattress protector sizes
Mattress protectors are available in a range of standard sizes to suit different mattress dimension to suit different bed sizes, including single, double, queen and king. You may also find extended sizing options such as long single and super king.
For the best fit, it’s important to match your bed protector to your mattress size. A queen-size mattress will need a queen mattress protector, and so on.
If you’re unsure of your mattress size, measuring the width, length and depth can help you compare it to standard sizing guides. Taking a moment to check the dimensions can make choosing the right protector simple and ensures that it sits smoothly and securely across the surface.

Standard protectors are often made from cotton, microfibre or blended fibres and are designed to help manage general wear, dust and minor spills while fitting neatly under your fitted sheet. These are easy to remove and wash, making them a practical choice for many homes.
For households where extra coverage is preferred, a waterproof mattress protector includes a protective backing that helps manage moisture and minor spills. There are also options featuring breathable fibres like Tencel™, which combine a soft surface with a protective layer beneath.
