Many new mattresses come with warranties that protect against flaws in materials or workmanship. Because these types of warranties depend on the mattress being in good condition other than the protected against flaw, many of the warranties are worded such that they are void if any stains exist on the mattress. This is especially true of Los Angeles mattress store "sleep on it" trial warranties. Because a mattress that is soiled usually cannot even be donated to charities, most trial warranties will not accept returns if stains are present.
Of course, warranties are not the only reason to avoid staining a mattress. Stains that permeate deep into the comfort layers of a mattress often end up creating unpleasant odors that are very difficult to remove. Because mattresses cannot be put in a washing machine, liquids from spills and body fluids penetrate deep into the memory foam, cotton, and polyester fiberfill layers that make a mattress comfortable. Even if a stain is removed from the exterior fabric of the mattress, these deep down stains emit odors that often never go away.
Warranties and odors are two very compelling reason to invest in a quality mattress protector for every mattress in the home. Machine-washable mattress protectors keep the mattress free from spills, stains, and odors, and help to keep warranties valid. This is especially important for children's beds, as young children often wet the bed, or get sick in bed, or spill food and drinks on their beds.
Protecting a mattress from these messes also helps prolong the life of the mattress. Not only do odors cause a mattress to need replacement, but sticky messes can permanently damage fabric and comfort layer materials that over time can result in undue wear and tear. Many people often neglect mattress protection as they worry about making the bed more uncomfortable with noisy, hot plastic layers. Luckily, there are many mattress protectors available today that protect against spills, dirt, and damage without making the sleeper uncomfortable.
Modern plastic-backed mattress protectors are usually machine washable and feature cotton tops. This minimizes heat and sweating as well as disruptive noise. There are even mattress protectors available that fully encase the king mattress, or any size beds mattresses and zip closed for ultimate protection. These protectors are especially important for protecting memory foam mattresses.
Even if a bed warmer or other mattress topper is used, it is wise to protect the mattress with a plastic backed protector. Many fluids and odors can penetrate down through many layers of bed toppers. The use of a plastic backed, machine washable layer right at the mattress will save a new mattress from messes, undue wear and tear, and will help protect the investment by protecting the warranties.
