A mattress protector can help to prevent bed bugs and dust mites from getting inside your mattress.
If you’re worried about bed bugs, then consider an encasement mattress protector, which will offer better protection from these nasty pests.
If bed bugs and dust mites are one of your pet peeves, then you should also consider investing in a memory foam mattress.
Dust mites aren’t able to penetrate into memory foam material like other mattress fillings, so they tend to keep well clear.
