Mattresses are expensive, hard to clean, and dust and germ magnets. A mattress cover will protect your mattress investment, reduce the amount of cleaning and spotting of the mattress you’ll need to do, and keep allergen invaders away.
Care & Cleaning
Mattress Cleaner
The best mattress cleaner you can use is prevention, followed by either baking soda or an upholstery cleaner. Your mattress is best protected by a mattress pad. Mattress pads can absorb or repel the things that make mattresses dirty —- dust mites, flaked skin, liquids (food spills or body fluids), and even mold or mildew. A mattress cover can also add cushioning to your mattress, allowing for an even better night’s sleep. Whether your mattress is made an innerspring, wool, cotton, latex, foam, or memory foam, a mattress pad will help keep your mattress cleaner.

But beverages like coffee, juice and wine can also be problems. Fast action is the first line of defense from stains that get beyond mattress covers and pads.

Futon Mattress
A futon mattress gives you the option of chemical-free sleeping and dual-purpose furniture. Many, though not all, futon mattresses are made of natural, and often organic, materials; that makes for a healthier night’s sleep. Often futons serve a double purpose of both seating and sleeping, when folded or unfolded. But there are futon mattresses that are only for sleeping. The function and material determines its thickness and somewhat controls the construction.
Down Mattress Pads
Down mattress pads are made in a variety of styles ranging from small pillows or channels to one large pillow without channels. They create a nest-like bed for sleeping in. They are comfortable year-round, regardless of the temperature. If you are looking for the experience of sleeping in a cloud, consider down mattress pads.
