mattress protector

Fitted sleeping cover

A mattress protector is a removable cover that shields a mattress from spills, stains, dust mites, and allergens.

Most are waterproof or water-resistant, fitting over the mattress like a fitted sheet.

Unlike a mattress pad, which adds cushioning, a protector prioritizes barrier function: The mattress protector saved us when the kid's sippy cup leaked.
