![]() It's a popular pick for cooling waterproof mattress protectors. Tencel: Tencel is a silky smooth fiber that can feel cool to the touch.Cotton: Cotton is a natural fiber that can be woven into durable moisture-wicking fabrics or knit into softer stretch fabrics that, when paired with a waterproof lining, can help keep you comfortable and protected while you sleep.It's a type of plastic that acts as a moisture barrier but can be noisy and uncomfortable to sleep on if not encased in another material. Polyurethane: This is the material that gives most mattress protectors their waterproof abilities.✔️ Material: Waterproof mattress protectors are all designed with some sort of waterproofing material, and most are encased in a second material for added comfort or better performance. They shared feedback on ease of bed making, comfort, mattress fit, sound and more. Lastly, we sent some of these picks to consumer testers for real-life use. Lab analysts crinkled each protector together to mimic any noise it way make when in use and rated how soft the protector felt. Our Lab experts also put each mattress protector through repeated wash testing to see how well the protectors withstood regular laundering and to analyze if they were able to resist shrinkage in the dryer. The more water that soaked through the mattress protector and into the absorbent blotting paper below, the less waterproof the protector proved to be. After three minutes, the protector was removed and the tray was weighed again. Next, a set amount of distilled water, similar to a standard spill, was poured onto the mattress protector ( pictured). Our Lab pros lined a tray with absorbent blotting paper, weighed the tray for later comparison, and then covered the tray with material from a mattress protector. To ensure that the mattress protectors were actually waterproof, we conducted a spill test simulation in Lab. Note that the fabric was louder than others we tester. In our tests, water seeped through the knit top, but the inner layer prevented any moisture from seeping through to the back. It's made of organic knit cotton jersey with an in-between waterproof barrier. Naturepedic Organic Waterproof Mattress Protector: This protector was the softest in our test. Like our other picks, it kept water from seeping through, but the waterproof backing made a noticeable sound in our tests. It also has a silicone band along the elastic edge to help prevent shifting. Saatva Waterproof Mattress Protector: Made of cotton with a 16-inch depth, this pick from Saatva showed less shrinkage than other cotton protectors. It held up well in our tests, keeping out water, but is now on final sale. ![]() ![]() SlumberCloud Core Mattress Protector: SlumberCloud's cooling mattress protector uses moisture-wicking Tencel and Outlast technology, which stores and releases heat throughout the night to keep you at a stable, comfortable temperature. Water didn't seep through, but smooth viscose fabric proved too smooth for some testers whose sheets slipped off the bed. Mattress Protector: Earning the title of the quietest mattress protector we've tested, this five-sided protector made very little noise when we crumpled the fabric. We've rounded up the best of the waterproof mattress protectors we've tested, but here are other great performers from our evaluations to keep in mind.
