Mattress and Pillow Protectors Revisited

[Sensei]

Hey Cosimo,

Welcome to our Mattress Forum ! Thanks for your question .

I am looking for a thin mattress protector made of 100% natural fiber (e.g., cotton/wool) that does not contain polyester on the sides. It doesn’t have to be waterproof, just water resistant.

I’ve considered the St. Dormeir, but, have read conflicting information that the sides are sometimes polyester and sometimes cotton. I wouldn’t mind using a wool “puddle pad” but do not want to significantly change the feel of the mattress — all the ones I’ve seen online are 1/4" thick which seems like it would definitely affect the feel more than a thinner fabric protector.

Phoenix had some great insights regarding “natural materials” mattress protectors in a previous post topic, Requesting mattress help in south florida post #89, a good starting point for those with questions similar to yours.

As far as St. Dormeir’s mattress protectors, according to their web site the materials used are all natural: “St Dormeir mattress protectors are made by quilting high quality virgin wool between two layers of special, chemical free cotton. This cotton is woven in a jersey knit and is used as the skirt that goes around the sides of the protector. It has an elastic band around the bottom edge for a secure fit.” I don’t have a personal preference, but you may want to consider one of our Trusted Members’ mattress protecters as well. Besides your preference for all natural fibers, what size are you looking?

Thanks,
Sensei
