About this product
The Silentnight Quilted Single Mattress Protector offers a comforting layer of protection for your mattress, designed to enhance sleep comfort and contribute to a healthier sleeping environment. This single-size protector is crafted from soft polyester fabric with a 200 thread count, creating a plush feel that’s ideal for adults seeking an extra level of cushioned comfort. The quilted design adds to this softness, utilising hollowfibre filling for a welcoming touch.
The protector features extra deep, easily fitted elasticated straps, ensuring a secure fit on mattresses of varying depths. These straps are designed to prevent the cover from slipping and shifting during sleep, providing peace of mind alongside its primary function of protecting your mattress from dust mites and allergens. The hypoallergenic construction is kind to sensitive skin, avoiding materials likely to cause allergic reactions.
This Silentnight protector is fully machine washable – simply pop it into your washing machine and tumble dry on a cool setting. It’s designed for everyday use and offers protection against wear and tear. Please note that the quilted layer provides cushioning rather than being waterproof, safeguarding against general abrasion rather than liquid spills.
The manufacturer offers a two-year warranty from date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. This protector is available individually and comes with elasticated straps for a secure fit on single mattresses.

FAQ
What size mattress does this protector fit?
This Silentnight Quilted Mattress Protector is designed for single mattresses. The ‘Extra Deep Fit’ elasticated straps are intended to accommodate a wide range of mattress depths, making it suitable for most standard single beds.
Is the polyester material breathable?
The protector utilizes polyester fabric which offers a smooth feel and helps prevent dust mites. While polyester itself isn't incredibly breathable, the quilted design contributes to airflow around the mattress surface.
How do the elasticated straps ensure a good fit?
The ‘Extra Deep Fit’ straps are designed with deep elasticity to securely fasten to your mattress, minimising movement and preventing the protector from slipping during sleep. This helps maintain the protective barrier against dust mites and allergens.
Can I machine wash this mattress protector?
Yes, the Silentnight Quilted Mattress Protector is fully machine washable. However, it’s important to follow the care instructions – cool tumble dry only to preserve the integrity of the quilted layer and elasticated straps.
What makes this protector hypoallergenic?
The protector is labelled as hypoallergenic due to its polyester fabric construction and the absence of materials likely to cause allergies. This helps create a more comfortable sleep environment, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.
How does this compare to cheaper mattress protectors?
At around £11.99, this Silentnight protector offers good value for money, providing basic protection against dust mites and allergens. Compared to very budget options, it features a quilted layer for added comfort and more robust elasticated straps.
What is the 'quilted' design intended to do?
The quilted cover provides an extra layer of cushioned comfort on your mattress by adding a soft touch feel. This contributes to overall sleep comfort without compromising its protective function against dust mites.
Is this protector waterproof?
While the polyester fabric is water-repellent, it's important to note that this protector isn’t designed to shield your mattress from spills or heavy moisture. It primarily offers protection against dust mite penetration and wear.
What is the warranty on this product?
Silentnight provides a two-year warranty from date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to Amazon UK for full details regarding claims under this warranty.
Does the thread count affect the protector's performance?
The 200 thread count polyester fabric contributes to the overall softness and durability of the protector, but it doesn’t directly impact its core function of providing a dust mite barrier or fitting securely onto your mattress.
