About Mattress Protectors

Cooling performance or organic cotton

The Bedgear protectors are designed like athletic fabric. The Ver-Tex is the flagship, with an instant-cooling top layer for hot sleepers; the Air-X uses two air-cushion layers for airflow; the Dri-Tec wicks moisture and is the best all-rounder, with deep-pocket sidewalls that stay put; the StretchWick uses all-way stretch fabric so it moves with you instead of feeling like a plastic sheet; and the iProtect is the simple, breathable value option. If you sleep hot, pair one with a cooling mattress and a breathable sheet set rather than fighting the heat with the protector alone.

The Naturepedic range is the answer for anyone who chose an organic mattress and does not want to wrap it in polyester. The Waterproof Organic Mattress Protector Pad puts certified organic cotton on the sleeping surface over a waterproof layer that avoids vinyl and PVC, the Organic Cotton Quilted Mattress Pad adds a soft quilted layer, and there are kids' pads, crib covers and organic cotton pillow protectors to match.

Which one do you need

  • New mattress, no special needs: the Bedgear Dri-Tec or the Basic Mattress Protector keeps it clean and covered.
  • Hot sleeper: the Ver-Tex or Air-X, which are cooler than sleeping on the bare mattress.
  • Children's beds and bunk beds: the Dri-Tec Kids protector or the Naturepedic kids' waterproof pad; see our kids' mattresses for the beds they fit.
  • Cribs and toddler beds: Bedgear's Dri-Tec, Ver-Tex and Air-X crib protectors, or Naturepedic's breathable organic crib cover and quilted toddler pad.
  • Sofa beds and guest rooms: the Dri-Tec and iProtect sofa bed protectors are sized to fold with the mattress.
  • Pillows: the Bedgear Dri-Tec, StretchWick and iProtect pillow protectors, or Naturepedic's organic cotton waterproof pillow protectors, extend the life of a good pillow.

Fit it in store

Protectors are sized by mattress depth as well as width, and a modern 14- or 15-inch hybrid needs a deeper pocket than an older bed. Bring your mattress size and height, or buy the protector with the mattress, and we will match it on the spot at the Richmond showroom or the Katy showroom. Everything else for the bed, from sheets to blankets, is in our bedding collection.

Questions, answered

Which mattress protector is actually waterproof?
The Naturepedic Waterproof Organic Mattress Protector Pad is the waterproof choice for a regular bed here. It uses a three-layer system with 100% GOTS certified organic cotton top and bottom and an ultra-thin waterproof layer in the center that blocks liquids while letting water vapor pass through, with no vinyl or PVC. It comes in Twin through California King.
Is there a waterproof protector in King size?
Yes. The Naturepedic Waterproof Organic Mattress Protector Pad is offered in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and California King, so both King and California King are covered. For a sofa bed or a child's bed, the Bedgear Dri-Tec Sofa Bed, iProtect Sofa Bed and Dri-Tec Kids protectors also carry a noiseless waterproof barrier.
Will a Bedgear protector stop a spill?
The Bedgear Ver-Tex, Dri-Tec, Air-X and iProtect mattress protectors are described as guarding against spills rather than as waterproof, so they handle everyday accidents while staying breathable. If you want a stated waterproof barrier on an adult bed, choose the Naturepedic Waterproof Organic pad. Bedgear's sofa bed, crib and kids protectors do have a waterproof barrier.
Which mattress protector is best for hot sleepers?
The Bedgear Ver-Tex Performance protector is the cooling pick, with a top layer of instant-cooling fabric that reduces overheating while you sleep. The Bedgear Air-X Performance uses two air cushion layers so air moves all night, and the Dri-Tec uses moisture-wicking fabric to keep you dry. All three guard against spills while keeping the surface breathable.
Will a protector fit a split mattress or an adjustable base?
Yes. The Bedgear Ver-Tex and Dri-Tec mattress protectors come in Split Head Queen, Split Head King, Split Head California King, Split-King and Split California King alongside the standard sizes. Ver-Tex uses a Powerband for grip and Dri-Tec uses deep pocket sidewalls, so the protector stays smooth and does not bunch as the base moves.
Is there an organic mattress protector?
Yes, Naturepedic makes the organic options here. The Waterproof Organic Mattress Protector Pad and the Organic Cotton Quilted Mattress Pad both use GOTS certified organic cotton, and the quilted pad adds absorbent organic cotton filling for gentle cushioning without a waterproof layer. There are organic toddler and kids pads in the range as well.
Do you have crib and baby mattress protectors?
Yes. The Bedgear Dri-Tec Crib Protector is hypoallergenic with a noiseless waterproof barrier that guards against accidents and mildew, and Bedgear also makes Ver-Tex and Air-X crib protectors. The Naturepedic Breathable Organic Crib Mattress Cover has a certified organic cotton face, waterproof backing and is machine washable. You can see them at all three showrooms.
