- protective mattress covers;
- corrective (including orthopedic mattress covers);
- special.
To guard carry single-layer model. Their task is only to protect the mattress or couch from dust, moisture and mechanical damage. Protective mattress covers are made simple or water resistant.
waterproof mattress covers produced either with a special impregnation or bilayer - the membrane coating or oil-cloth substrate.
Alternative membrane fabric - one of the latest developments of the manufacturer, the material on the basis of the Australian eucalyptus.
Moisture-proof property possessed by some multi-toppers and necessarily child models, which are further designed to prevent diaper rash on the child's body.
Special children's mattress combines and moisture resistance, and orthopedic properties that from an early age will help ensure the correct position of the spine, and therefore in a healthy posture future. Before you make a purchase, it is advisable to get acquainted with the quality of the certificates offered by the seller.
Correction mattress make the bed softer or harder, give "new life" to the old sofa, with protruding springs, and help extend the life of furniture for sleep and rest.
Manufacturers and models made for sofas with folding mechanism.
Pillow Top mattress Pad able to change the characteristics of the mattress, making harder. A separate subspecies of orthopedic products - anatomical with "memory effect" is able to "remember" the shape of the human body that creates the conditions for a comfortable sleep.
Special models perform additional functions, such as bed intended for bedridden patients or made of a specific material, for example wool.
Classification by use conditions
By the time of the year, which are used mattress covers, they are classified into:
- summer;
- winter;
- season.
Running the model to protect against overheating, have a high degree of air permeability, absorb moisture, retain and create a feeling of coolness. Winter - retain heat, helping to maintain moisture exchange. These properties depend on the filler and cover mattress cover.
Multigrade items are made bilateral (one side a material suitable for use in winter, and on the other - a summer), or made of a universal material.
And summer and winter comfort in the bed create bamboo, natural down or komforel (synthetic non-woven material, a kind of hollofaybera).
Classification based on mattress covers
General and additional requirements for the materials used in the manufacture of:
- resistance to mechanical stress, including frequent washing;
- resistance to soiling;
- breathability;
- water repellency;
- hypoallergenic;
- protection from bacteria;
- protection against static electricity.
Coating materials: cotton, polycotton, merino wool, satin, knitted fabrics, terry fabrics, teak, microfiber, suede, percale, calico, polyester.
Materials for fillers: padding polyester, latex and synthetic natural-based, hollofayber, bamboo, "swan's down", cotton, wool, camel, holfiteks, Merino, sherstipon, natural goose down.
Factories-manufacturers offer products with filling from elastic foam, in fact it is the same synthetic latex.
Mattress conventionally classified according to the materials:
- synthetic;
- natural toppers;
- combined.
By synthetic materials include padding polyester, hollofayber and struttofayber. Synthetics durable, practical, does not lose the shape, it eliminates the development of harmful microorganisms.
Natural mattress covers are comfortable and will suit those who value environmentally friendly products.
Combined models consist of both natural and synthetic materials are made by bilateral and belong to a group of season.
Mattresses coconut coir 1-6 cm thick are made. The thickest, shestisantimetrovye products suitable for people with problems in the lumbar spine, being overweight or fans to sleep on their backs.
An important feature of coconut coir, which must be considered when operating, is that products with the filler can not be rolled up, since because of this its fibers deformed. To solve this problem, manufacturers have created a plant model of lateksirovannoy coconut coir.
It increases the elasticity of latex, but it reduces stiffness.
wool mattress covers improve the functioning of the circulatory system, relieve muscle tension, have a beneficial effect on the nervous system, helps with diseases of the joints, inflammation, bronchitis, osteochondrosis, radiculitis.
Used for the manufacture of sheep and camel wool, llama wool. Breathability and antibacterial properties add value to wool mattress pad.
If llama wool is rarely used because of the high prices (this product is classified as luxury goods), the camel and sheep are present in the composition of products for sleep often.
Especially popular, primarily due to the low cost, wool sheep. Sometimes it is mixed with the camel, which reduces the cost, while maintaining the beneficial properties.
IMPORTANT: The hair often causes allergies.
Mattress covers made of bamboo - a godsend for fans of eco-friendly materials. Not only filling, but also cover some of the models made of fabric with bamboo yarns. The advantages of this material:
- antibacterial protection;
- hypoallergenic properties;
- pleasant to the touch surface;
- high levels of air and moisture permeability;
- antistatic properties;
- resistance to unpleasant odors;
- surface-slip bed linen;
- fabric almost wrinkled;
- low cost.
Bamboo filler - the right choice for cot or bed of an old man.
Latex mattress covers. For the manufacture of mattress cover required corrective elastic materials, and what is the basis of natural latex. It consists of rubber and water.
In the manufacture of the material used the juice of rubber trees that are harvested by hand on plantations in South America. And this is due to its high cost.
Scientists have found a complete replacement for this material - synthetic latex or elastomeric polyurethane. Its price is much lower. Synthetic latex is added to coconut coir to make it more elastic.
Useful properties of latex products:
- dimensional stability;
- moisture and breathability:
- anatomical effect;
- support the desired level of heat transfer;
- durability;
- hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties.
The latex mattress is elastic, so that it is permissible to turn off if you need to remove or transport. Due to the different pore size latex has varying degrees of elasticity, so it is possible to combine on the product zones of different rigidity.
IMPORTANT: The peculiar smell of latex material, tangible immediately after purchase, will disappear after a while.
Factories-manufacturers produce bilateral combined models. One side of the latex, and the other with a hard filler. For everyday use suitable rigid covering, and if there is pain in the back, turned over the mattress pad "latex" side.

How to choose a mattress pad
The right choice of mattress cover begins with the definition of the functions it will perform. Depending on the model that addresses specific categories of protection, or corrective orthopedic products.
If the purpose of the purchase - to make a mattress or sofa is softer, it is worth paying attention to products with a filler made of felt, latex, hollofaybera, struttofaybera.
Those who are interested primarily in the orthopedic characteristics, fit model made of polyurethane foam, or cactus Fiber coconut coir (the latter material - very hard). They are also interested in filling "memoriks" (memory foam) and its similarity (almost every factory-manufacturer produces its own "brand" materials).
The next defining parameter - the size of the mattress cover. It is important to choose the right size of the product so that it fits perfectly into the mattress or sofa along the length, width and height. When the coating is more formed creases that create discomfort.
If the size is less than necessary mattress izognotsya waves that lead to deformation and reduce the use of the term.
Manufacturers offer a full range of products suitable for standard single, double and polutoro- beds. If you do not fit into any one of the standard sizes, the only way out - Custom sizes. The most straightforward solution - buy mattress cover along with the mattress.
It is necessary to pay attention to the thickness of the gum, if the choice is stopped on the model to mount on the 4 rubber bands. If the attachment is too thin, they quickly tear and mattress pad will move out.
Based on the needs and financial capacity, is determined by a set of additional properties and Product features: antibacterial and moisture-proof impregnation, hypoallergenic materials and etc.
For example, the right choice for people with allergies - mattress with a microfiber cover. This material is characterized and how durable and pleasant to the touch.
Which is better
Product choice depends on the needs, opportunities, the state of health of the buyer.
In each case individually determines which characteristic is of paramount importance:
- price-quality ratio;
- durability;
- better appearance;
- environmental Safety.
If we compare the natural and synthetic products, preferably the first course. But all natural materials wear out quickly. So do not immediately reject the synthetic model.
Cactus Fiber - the most environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic material for the competition he can make hypoallergenic coconut coir.
If you need a winter mattress - the best choice for a filler are natural wool and down, and for the top cover of the product ideal wool, fleece or microfiber.
If the opposite is needed year-old model, it is best to choose Coir with silk, cotton or bamboo floors.
Care
That the product will last for many, be sure to follow the recommendations for the care of the manufacturer.
As a rule, manufacturers of factory-advised to observe the following rules of operation:

- Woollens dried in the expanded form in the horizontal position.
- Prohibited ironing mattress.
