On to protection...more decisions!

Hi kardut,

Thanks for the invaluable advice for buying my latex/coil mattress!

You’re welcome!

I’m finding myself obsessed with finding a good mattress protector. Looking for something that won’t take away from the feel and plushness of the mattress, no plastics of any kind, quiet and non-crinkly, and prefer no quilt or puffy layers. Really don’t need exceptional waterproofing, and definitely not something that needs to be dry cleaned! Something that helps keep me cool at night would be a major plus, as well as something that doesn’t break the bank!

A wool or cotton mattress protector certainly would could meet your qualifications (there is wool that is washable). Post #89 here talks about various mattress protectors (including some using polyurethane films, which would be for waterproofing without using plastic – which I know is not a need that you have), and about half way through that post are quite a few links to various styles of wool or cotton mattress protectors.

I hope that helps point you in a good direction.
