What makes bamboo a good choice for a mattress protector?
Bamboo is a naturally breathable fibre that helps regulate your temperature as you sleep, which means you are less likely to overheat in the night. It is also highly absorbent and naturally antibacterial, both of which are ideal qualities in a mattress protector. From a sustainability perspective, bamboo is one of the most responsibly grown fibres available, requiring no fertiliser and regenerating quickly after harvesting.
Is this bamboo protector genuinely waterproof?
Yes. An ultra-thin TPU laminate layer runs edge to edge across the base of the protector, providing complete waterproof coverage for your mattress. The TPU lining is noticeably quieter than many waterproof protectors on the market, so you can sleep soundly without any unwanted rustling. We do recommend removing and washing the protector as soon as possible after any spill for best results.
What is the protector made from?
The top layer is a blend of 60% bamboo and 40% recycled polyester, with the recycled polyester being rescued from landfill to reduce environmental impact. The reverse features a TPU waterproof lamination. Together these materials create a protector that is soft, breathable, durable and kind to the planet.
Are both mattress and pillow protectors available in this bamboo range?
Yes. We offer a full set of protection options in this bamboo collection, including a mattress protector and a pillow protector, so you can keep your entire sleep environment fresh, clean and well-protected. All pieces share the same breathable bamboo blend and waterproof TPU construction for consistent comfort and peace of mind.
Will I be able to feel or hear the waterproof layer?
We have worked hard to make this protector as discreet as possible. The TPU lining is extremely fine and lightweight, so it sits quietly beneath your sheets without adding bulk or making any noise. Most people find they are barely aware it is there, which is exactly how a great protector should feel.
How does the protector stay in place on the mattress?
The protector is fitted with a deep 30cm elasticated jersey skirt that wraps securely around the mattress edges, keeping it firmly in place through the night even if you move around. The secure fit also helps ensure the waterproof layer remains correctly positioned at all times.
Is this protector suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes, it is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. The bamboo casing is naturally antibacterial, and because the protector can be washed regularly and dried efficiently in a tumble dryer, it is easy to maintain a clean and hygienic sleeping environment. The waterproof barrier also helps protect your mattress from moisture build-up, which can otherwise encourage the growth of mould and dust mites.
