About this product
This Caroline Shatuik Waterproof Mattress Protector is designed to safeguard your mattress from spills and accidents. Constructed from a super soft poly cotton Terry Towel fabric with a non-noisy TPU membrane, it offers protection against fluids, urine, and other potentially damaging liquids. The breathable Terry towelling surface helps maintain a comfortable sleeping environment, while the waterproof membrane ensures dryness throughout the night.
The protector is available in a King size (152 x 200 + 40cm Extra Deep Skirt) and features strong elastic all around for a secure fit. A deep skirt, measuring 40cm, allows it to accommodate thicker mattresses up to a height of 40cm/16 inches. It's constructed with vinyl-free material and is OEKO-TEX Certified, making it hypoallergenic.
The Terry Towel Mattress Protector is easy to care for; repeated washing and drying will not damage the specially designed waterproof membrane. The design includes a pull-on closure and a fitted sheet style with a robust elasticated edge, preventing bunching or slippage.
Consider this protector particularly well if you require multiple protectors or need incontinence protection. While offering good value, some users have noted that it may not be as soft or breathable as bamboo alternatives. The deep fitted skirt might feel snug on shallower mattresses.
