mattress cover

Sleeper's fabric layer

A mattress cover is a protective layer that fits over a mattress, shielding it from stains, dust, allergens, or wear.

Some are waterproof; others add padding or temperature regulation.

The term overlaps with mattress protector and mattress pad, though covers typically encase the entire mattress while pads sit on top.
