Mattress Protector or Mattress Pad: What’s the Real Difference?

The terms "mattress protector" and "mattress pad" are often used interchangeably, but they don't always refer to the same level of technology and protection. Understanding their differences is essential to making the right choice and ensuring optimal protection for your mattress.

The Traditional Mattress Protector: Basic Protection

Historically, a mattress protector is a simple protection, often made of thick cotton (fleece), whose main purpose is to absorb some of the moisture and protect against light stains. Old mattress protectors were sometimes plasticized, which made them waterproof, but also very noisy, not very breathable and therefore uncomfortable.

A simple mattress pad offers limited protection:

• It is not always 100% waterproof.
• It generally does not offer specific treatment against dust mites or bacteria.
• It can be thick and change the comfort feel of the mattress.

The Modern Mattress Protector: High Technology at the Service of Your Bed

A modern mattress protector , like the one offered by ZenPur, is a technical product that goes far beyond the classic mattress pad. It combines several functions for complete protection and flawless comfort.
