Hi Just Right,
I would say it is in a “better than average” value range and probably “good local value” but not in the “best in country” value range of some manufacturers that would make a similar design but may not be available to you locally. Value itself though has many parts to it and is not just about the “commodity value” of a mattress and when you are looking at a local option there is also real value and lower risk in being able to test a mattress specifically for PPP (Pressure relief, Posture and alignment and Personal preferences). if you are comparing to a online option then I would consider a “local premium” in the range of 20% or so to be roughly “equivalent value” but each person may use a different percentage depending on their own risk tolerance and may also have a different “personal value equation” and different ideas of what is most important and valuable to them when they are buying a mattress.
I don’t know what type of protector you are looking at and there is a very wide range of prices from very cheap to significantly more costly and higher quality but you can see some of the different types of mattress protectors that are available and the pros and cons of each type in post #89 here. A google search on each brand will probably bring up the best value for each of them (and this may change over time). Some protectors offer a warranty when you purchase them at the same time as a mattress but these can be very difficult to make claims against if you have an accident that soils the mattress because they will often claim that you didn’t use proper care instructions and deny coverage. In some cases they will send you a cleaning kit so you can remove the stain yourself and actually replacing a mattress would be very very rare.
I’m not sure what is happening for you or why the error message but if you email me the pictures and the specs at the contact link at the top of the page I’ll be happy to add them to your post.
