This mattress protector goes above and beyond the rest. Definitely a great bed protector for your kids that may spill juice or other staining liquids on the bed with the stain protector. The allergen barrier helps with anyone who may have allergies, giving you a better night's rest as well as the temperature balancing to help you keep cool on those warm nights. Also a plus is the AllerEase Ultimate Mattress Protector protects your bed if you ever happen to get those annoying bedbugs. I would say this is an all in one mattress protector.
