Hi ErikuTamu,
Congratulations on your new mattress 
As you know I think you made a great choice and I’m looking forward to your feedback when you’ve had a chance to sleep on it after the new year.
There are several tradeoffs involved in the choice between different types mattress protectors and post #89 here talks about the pros and cons of each type and some links to some of the better choices for each.
Dan may also have some mattress protector options that he recommends as well.
