This AllerEase mattress protector is an amazing addition to my bed. For starters, I tend to eat on my bed while watching movies, I easily drop things on my bed all the time, and this mattress protector really comes shining through. It prevents every single drop of food every split onto my bed! It can easily be removed, and thrown right into the washer for quick cleaning. This mattress protector also keeps me extremely cool at night while sleeping. Typically more cloth provides more heat, but this protector is very light weight keeping me cool all night. I have actually saw an improvement in my allergies! Who would of thought a mattress protector would help me with runny noses at night! I only have amazing things to say about this mattress protector. It's better then comparing products, by being heavy duty, allergy preventative, cooling at night, and has an amazing price tag! I highly reccomend this to everyone!
