Mattress Protector
Mattress Protectors are a clever solution for protecting your mattress and contribute significantly to its longevity. They sit directly between the mattress and the fitted sheet and protect against soiling, moisture, dust and mites.
At Interior Couture you will find high-quality mattress protectors from premium manufacturers in various designs – from moisture-regulating and mite-proof to cosy and warm. On request we also make special sizes. Benefit from our personal, expert advice in choosing the right version.
Should you use a mattress protector?
We all love a morning coffee in bed or a hot tea to fall asleep to. But every now and then something gets spilled. A new mattress is a costly and long-term purchase – and it is difficult to clean. That is precisely why using a mattress protector is worthwhile.
The mattress protector is stretched directly over the mattress and reliably protects it against:
- Stains from drinks, make-up or other liquids
- Dust, sweat and skin flakes
- Mites and their allergens
- premature wear in the shoulder and pelvic area
Unlike the mattress itself, the mattress protector can be removed regularly and washed at 60 °C – this also reliably kills mites and ensures a hygienic sleeping climate.
Mattress protectors for allergy sufferers
For allergy sufferers, a mattress protector is particularly recommended. Mites love warmth and moisture and feed on skin flakes – a mattress is an ideal habitat for the tiny arachnids. A mite-proof mattress protector prevents mites from penetrating the mattress and can help prevent allergic reactions.
Important: even the mite-proof mattress protector should be washed regularly at 60 °C. This reliably removes not only the mites but also their allergens.
Different mattress protectors for different needs
Not every mattress protector is equally suitable for everyone. Depending on your sleeping habits, different versions are recommended.
For those who sweat: moisture-regulating mattress protectors
If you tend to sweat at night, you will benefit from a mattress protector with functional fibre. The well-known Bella Donna Klima from Formesse absorbs a particularly large amount of moisture and releases it back into the surroundings – ensuring a dry sleeping climate even on warm nights or with heavier night-time sweating.
For those who feel the cold: warm mattress protectors in fine molleton
If you get cold quickly at night and like to lie soft and cosy, a mattress protector in fine molleton is a good choice. The brushed cotton surface stores warmth and provides a comfortable, soft lying feel – a pleasant addition especially in winter.
For children's beds: moisture-proof mattress protectors
For children's beds, or for people who need an additional safety net against liquids at night, a mattress protector with a polymer membrane is the right choice. This membrane is moisture-proof yet breathable at the same time – so the mattress stays dry without heat building up underneath.
What to look out for when choosing?
High-quality mattress protectors are distinguished by two core properties: they are breathable and absorbent. Both are important so that no heat builds up under the protector and you do not sweat any more than necessary.
Cheap mattress protectors made of pure plastic film often cannot meet these requirements and create an unhealthy, clammy sleeping climate. Premium mattress protectors use high-quality functional fibres or breathable membranes that combine both properties.
Brands at Interior Couture
In our range you will find mattress protectors from two renowned manufacturers.
Formesse, the specialist for high-quality fitted sheets, also offers premium solutions in the field of mattress protectors. Particularly well-known is the aforementioned Bella Donna Klima, which with its functional fibre ensures optimal moisture management. If you already use Bella Donna fitted sheets, you will find the perfectly matched mattress protector version at Formesse.
Schlossberg from Switzerland makes mattress protectors with the premium workmanship typical of the brand – ideal for anyone who wants Swiss premium quality for their mattress protection too.

Care of mattress protectors
Mattress protectors are robust and suitable for everyday use:
- washable at up to 60 °C – important for killing mites
- suitable for tumble drying on a low to medium setting
- no ironing required
Avoid fabric softener. It settles as a film over the functional fibres or the membrane and reduces their moisture absorption and breathability – precisely the properties that make a good mattress protector. You should also avoid detergents with optical brighteners. A high-quality liquid detergent is the better choice.
Matching bedding around mattress protectors
Combine the mattress protector with a high-quality Fitted Sheets, which lies directly on top. Anyone wishing to complete the sleep system will also find matching Bed Linen, high-quality Duvets and Pillows.

Frequently asked questions about mattress protectors
Do I even need a mattress protector?
A mattress protector is not essential, but highly recommended. A mattress is an expensive and long-lasting purchase, yet difficult to clean. The mattress protector protects against stains, dust, skin flakes, sweat and mites – and, unlike the mattress itself, can be washed regularly. It is especially worthwhile for allergy sufferers and in children's beds.
Which mattress protector is the right one for me?
That depends on your needs. If you sweat at night, a moisture-regulating model such as the Formesse Bella Donna Klima is a good choice. If you feel the cold, choose a warm mattress protector in fine molleton. For children's beds or additional moisture protection, a model with a polymer membrane is recommended. Allergy sufferers should opt for a mite-proof mattress protector.
At what temperature should I wash the mattress protector?
At least 60 °C – and regularly. Only from this temperature are mites reliably killed. Use a liquid detergent without optical brighteners and avoid fabric softener, as it can clog the functional fibres or membranes.
Where does the mattress protector go?
The mattress protector is stretched directly over the mattress – beneath the fitted sheet. This way it lies as a protective layer between the mattress and the bed linen and can protect reliably.
Does a mattress protector help against mites?
Yes, a mite-proof mattress protector prevents mites from penetrating the mattress. Regular washing at 60 °C is also important – this kills the mites in the protector itself too. Combined with a fitted sheet in easy-care cotton, this is effective protection for allergy sufferers.
Can I also get mattress protectors in special sizes?
Yes. If your desired size is not listed among the standard sizes, we are happy to make a made-to-measure item for you. Simply get in touch on +49 (0) 221 630 606 12 – we will prepare an individual, no-obligation quote for you.
