Finding the perfect mattress is a significant investment, especially if you’re on the larger side. However, once you've made that critical decision, you want to ensure you don’t have to repeat the same process for quite some time (20 years if Big Fig has anything to say about it!). A mattress protector is the key to preserving the comfort and quality of your mattress, which is coupled with the reassurance that you made a quality investment. If you’re unsure of what it is, how it works, and whether or not you need one, let us provide a little convincing.
Mattress Pad vs Mattress Protector
While there are some similarities, as the Sleep Foundation points out, mattress protectors vs pads serve different purposes. A mattress pad provides an extra cushioning layer, which can be beneficial if your mattress isn’t as comfortable as the Big Fig. However, it’s important to point out that a mattress pad does not replace a mattress protector. This additional layer acts as a defensive barrier, safeguarding your mattress against sweat, spills, allergens, and unfortunate stains that could potentially damage it.
Do I Need a Mattress Pad With a Mattress Protector?
Well, that’s up to you! If your mattress does not complement your sleeping position or you’re constantly waking up with back pain, then yes, you probably want to add an extra layer of support with a pad while adding a protector to extend the longevity of your mattress. However, our Big Fig Mattress already has features like heavy-duty foam to prevent uncomfortable sagging, which can help prevent aches, pains, and sleep disruption.
Do You Need a Mattress Protector?
Are you looking to maintain the longevity and cleanliness of your mattress? Look no further! The Big Fig Mattress Protector, with its unique waterproof layer, is designed to shield your mattress from any liquid or accidental spills, regardless of its size. It also acts as a protective barrier against allergens, pet dander, and personal care product buildup, ensuring the hygiene and health of your mattress. And the best part? No more annoying crinkling noises with each movement!
Benefits of Using a Mattress Protector
Still not convinced you need a mattress protector? Check out these additional benefits.
Protection From Allergies
Let's talk about something we like to sweep under the proverbial sheets — dust and dust mites. A protector is not just a protective layerfor your mattress, it's a health investment. It helps prevent allergic reactions by keeping mites (and their waste products) and dust from settling in your mattress. News Flash: According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, dust mite waste is one of the leading causes of year-round allergies. A mattress protector can help you steer clear of this health risk.
Enhanced Comfort
Sure, a mattress pad gives your big tush a little extra cush — but Big Fig creates bedding essentials like a mattress protector with fuller figures in mind, so we incorporate the same THERMOGEL COOLING ® treated fabric used in our mattresses to help you sleep comfortably cool minus icky night sweats.
Mattress Cleanliness
Even if you don’t spend all your time in bed, occasional spills, pet dander, allergens, personal care product buildup, and daily pollutants can accumulate and affect the cleanliness of your mattress. This is where a mattress protector becomes your best friend, ensuring your mattress stays clean and fresh.
