Lossy Compression posted:I'm with OP here, I buy a nice mattress because I want to feel the nice mattress, not layers of crinkly/crunchy bullshit. What are these "mattress protectors" people speak of? a regular mattress pad is neither of these. the standard quilted pad is regular fabric and some polyester fill for padding. it's like a cheap blanket between the sheet and the mattress. normal non-waterproof ones are just as breathable as the mattress is. but they get all the sweat and body oil that goes through your sheets before it gets to the mattress and are washable. and you only need to take the pad off to wash it every 3-6 weeks since it's not in direct contact. (downside, they're bulky and can take up nearly a whole wash load by themselves) waterproof ones don't breathe even if they're high quality so I would not choose a waterproof one unless someone has incontinence problems or a very exciting sex life also besides protecting the mattress from your filth, they protect your sheets from the matrress. mattress tops are made from materials chosen more for strength than being perfectly smooth, so they're rougher than normal cloth. a mattress pad doesn't wear on the cotton sheets as much. the layer of loose poly fill adds a bit of give so when you toss and turn the bottom sheets don't bunch up. your good sheets will last longer.
