I’ve read a lot the past few days about mattress covers and protectors on the site. Thanks so much for everyone’s contributions. I see the value of a mattress protector and of course the absolute necessity of a mattress cover.
What is the benefit of paying more for a higher quality mattress cover if you’re going to then put a mattress protector on top of that? I realize the mattress cover is designed to hold the latex/other foam layers together, and protect them.while presumably not changing the feel of the mattress significantly. But if one is going to then put a mattress protector or pad over that, does it make sense to spend somewhat less on the mattress cover and somewhat more on the mattress protector since that is closer to the sleep surface (right below the fitted sheet)? I hope I’ve articulated my question well.
