A mattress protector is a removable bedding accessory that covers your mattress to shield it from spills, stains, allergens, dust mites, and general wear. Unlike a mattress pad (which adds cushioning), a mattress protector's primary purpose is protection — keeping your mattress clean, hygienic, and in warranty-compliant condition. At LA Mattress Stores, we carry premium mattress protectors designed to complement our mattress collection, including waterproof options, cooling protectors, and hypoallergenic models — available at all five of our Los Angeles locations.
With over 27,100 monthly searches for "mattress protector," 18,100 for "waterproof mattress protector," and 5,400 for "best mattress protector," this essential bedding accessory is one of the most searched-for sleep products online. A quality mattress protector is the single best investment you can make to extend your mattress's lifespan and maintain its performance. Every mattress we sell at LA Mattress Stores — from a $500 Diamond to a $5,000 Tempur-Pedic — benefits from a proper protector.
A mattress protector is a small investment that delivers major returns. Here are the key benefits:
Shopping for the best mattress protector near me in Los Angeles? Here's what to look for:
A mattress pad adds a layer of cushioning on top of the mattress, primarily for comfort. A mattress protector provides a protective barrier, primarily for hygiene and mattress longevity. Some products combine both functions, but a dedicated protector with waterproof backing offers superior protection. For the best setup, use a mattress protector directly on the mattress, then add a mattress pad on top if you want extra comfort.
A mattress topper is a thick (2–4 inch) comfort layer placed on top of the mattress to change its feel — adding softness, support, or cooling. A protector is thin and transparent to the mattress feel, focused solely on protection. They serve completely different purposes and can be used together: protector on the mattress, topper on the protector.
A mattress encasement is a type of protector that fully encloses the mattress on all six sides with a zippered closure. Standard protectors only cover the top and sides. Encasements provide complete protection against bed bugs, dust mites, and allergens from every angle. Choose an encasement if bed bug protection is a priority; a standard protector is sufficient for stain and spill protection.

Ask about mattress protector bundle deals when purchasing a new mattress — we often include protectors at discounted prices with mattress purchases.
Yes — a mattress protector is the most important accessory for any mattress. Without one, your mattress is exposed to spills, sweat, body oils, allergens, and dust mites that accumulate over time and cannot be removed. A protector also preserves your mattress warranty, which most manufacturers void if stains are present. For a $30–$100 investment, you protect a mattress worth $500–$5,000+.
Not if you choose a quality product. Modern waterproof mattress protectors use thin polyurethane membranes that are breathable — blocking liquids while allowing air and moisture vapor to pass through. Cheap vinyl or PVC protectors can feel hot and crinkly. The protectors we carry at LA Mattress Stores use premium breathable waterproof technology that won't affect your sleep temperature.
Wash your mattress protector every 1–2 months under normal conditions, or immediately after any spill or accident. Use warm water and a gentle cycle, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane. Regular washing keeps the protector fresh and maintains its protective properties.
A quality mattress protector is thin enough to be virtually unnoticeable — it shouldn't change the feel of your mattress. Premium protectors with soft cotton terry or Tencel™ surfaces may actually add a slight softness. Avoid overly thick or rigid protectors that can alter the mattress feel. The protectors we carry at LA Mattress Stores are specifically chosen to be transparent to your mattress's comfort.
