An essential addition to your bedding set. A good quality, easily washable protector can save your mattress from any unmentionably nasty stains as well as general wear and tear. Ours is pure cotton so it's naturally breathable and moisture wicking. It comes in a lovely cotton storage bag and is delivered in plastic free, recyclable packaging.

Our 100% cotton mattress protector is deep fit, up to 40cm mattress depth, and comes in four sizes: Single, Double, King and Super king. Always choose the same size as your mattress. Pull the elasticated cotton skirt over the sides and corners of your mattress so the protector stays snugly in place. Then place your fitted or flat sheet on top.

We've made our cotton protector slightly oversized to allow for natural washing shrinkage. And like all our products, it's reassuringly Oeko-Tex 100 Standard certified. 

Materials:

  • Fabric: 100% pure cotton.
  • Filling: 100% cotton in 200gsm.
  • Skirt: Fully elasticated 100% cotton skirt.
  • Casing: 100% cotton percale in 200 thread count.
  • Fit: Deep fit up to 40cm mattress depth - Goes on top of your mattress and underneath your bottom sheet.

Care:

  • Made slightly oversized to allow for natural shrinkage when first washed.
  • Machine wash at 30° to 40° before use and then once every 1-4 weeks.
  • Use non-bio (enzyme free) detergent sparingly, as too much detergent may damage the soft cotton filling in your protector.
  • Fabric softener can reduce absorbency so it is best not to use it but if you do, use only a small amount.
  • Wash separately or only with other white cotton bedding. Washing with clothing may cause friction leading to piling. Washing with darker colours may cause your protector to become grey in colour.
  • Line dry or tumble dry at lower heat - use our Wool Tumble Dryer Balls to reduce tumble drying time and add a little extra softness without using chemicals.
  • Love your cotton mattress protector and it will love you.

Make sure it's really pure cotton. Some brands sell a "Cotton" mattress protector that isn't only cotton. Check that the filling is really just cotton. And that you're not being sold a protector with a synthetic skirt. As one of our customer's said "Finally, a mattress protector that genuinely doesn't include any synthetics."

Mattress protector

The scooms mattress protector is well made, and fits the mattress well. It arrived quickly, and was packaged beautifully.

Good quality protector

Bought for new hybrid mattress, which is quite deep. The protector fits a 40" deep mattress. Some movement still in the protector, once washed. Very thick and has a seam around the protector, where it sits on the mattress. Washes well, but is heavy and takes a while to dry if it can't go outside. The protector moves around and needs smoothing every day, as not a snug fit on my mattress, which may change when washed again. Very good quality and well made. Expensive, but appears to be long lasting and is all cotton, so nice and cool.

Excellent service

I bought a cotton mattress protector for a double bed from Scooms recently, and am very pleased with its quality, particularly that it is all pure cotton, unlike many others on the market. It fits the double bed well. My online order was dispatched immediately and in completely recyclable packaging - no plastic. This feels like a caring firm and I heartily recommend it.

Comfort, quality and practicality

Having invested in a new Harrison Spinks mattress we wanted a mattress protector to compliment it. The Scooms mattress protector being all cotton seems to be unique in the marketplace and therefore appeared to be the ideal partner. It washed well at home, even being a superking size, dried nicely and fitted the deep mattress perfectly. It’s comfortable and breathes too. We’re very happy with our purchase.

Why we love cotton mattress protectors

You've spent oodles on a lovely new mattress. You owe it to yourself and your bank balance to make sure it stays in great condition for as long as possible. A good quality mattress protector will help you do this. Opt for pure cotton. It's naturally breathable and sweat wicking, which will help regulate your body temperature and stop sweat from seeping into your mattress. What's not to like?

Only pure cotton is used in our mattress protector. That means that the filling is 100% cotton, the skirt is fully elasticated 100% cotton and the casing is 100% cotton percale.

An easy-to-clean mattress protector can help to control dust mite allergies or asthma. A stained and dirty mattress allows dust mites and bacteria to thrive which won't be any good for your health issues.

Carefully sewn with diamond quilting so the filling remains evenly distributed across your mattress. Each diamond is plushly filled with pure cotton, adding a layer of softly cushioned comfort to your bed.

A new mattress can be a considerable investment, so you'll want to keep it in tip top condition. A good quality mattress protector will protect your mattress from general wear and tear, plus nasty stains and spills.

Frequently asked questions

View all

A mattress protector sits on top of your mattress, like a second skin, but beneath your fitted sheet. It's intended to keep your mattress clean by minimising contamination from fluids, skin and hair, all of which can stain your mattress and degrade its quality.

If you suffer from asthma, eczema or dust mite allergies, a mattress protector will give you an extra layer of protection between your mattress and your bedding. And if you're a hot and sweaty sleeper, it can provide a useful sweat wicking layer.

Yes, your mattress is an expensive investment and a mattress protector will help to keep it in good condition and last for longer. A bottom sheet isn't robust enough to protect your mattress.

Find out more in our Guide to mattress protectors.

Always buy a mattress protector that is the same size as your mattress to ensure a good fit that won't move around. If you're not sure of the size, we recommend measuring your mattress to check. Make sure the protector depth will cover the depth of your mattress, including the topper if you are using one.

Read more in our Mattress protector size guide.

Our 100% cotton mattress protectors are designed to be washed in your home washing machine. Follow the instructions on the care label. We recommend washing your mattress protector before use and then, once every one to four weeks.
