Organic or Natural Waterproof Mattress Protector

I am planning to spend quite a bit on an all natural latex mattress and would like to get a waterproof mattress protector that is as natural and chemical free as possible. Some of the protectors mentioned on this site have polyurethane in between organic cotton and say they are very healthy but since the mattress protector will be close to my body, I would like to have a waterproof mattress protector that is made with the most natural products. Which mattress protectors are the healthiest ?

Hi For Eyes,

You may have read this already but there is more about the pros and cons of different types of mattress protectors in post #89 here.

Some of them do use more natural materials or fibers than others (such as cotton or wool) but I don’t know of any safety or “health” issues with any of them in terms of harmful substances or VOC’s.

If you are looking for “waterproof” instead of just “water resistant” then one of the protectors with a polyurethane membrane would be your most likely choice.
