Mattress Pads 101

Written by BeddingStyle.com.

If you want to take your comfort in bed to the next level, a mattress pad may be the right choice. A mattress pad helps to give additional padding and comfort when you sleep at night and can make your bed feel extra soft and relaxing. It’s a great choice for people at home or college students to add to their college dorm bedding to help improve their sleep on poor quality college dorm beds.

So what should you be looking for in a mattress pad? Much like with a comforter set, you will have many different fabrics to choose from with your mattress pad. For basic needs, many people choose to go with a cotton pad. This option is light enough to not be overly warm during the summer but will also provide enough cushioning to be comfortable.

If you have special needs you will want to consider certain types of mattress pads. For example, people with allergies will want to look at hypoallergenic materials. If people have children who may spill or have accidents, a waterproof mattress pad is an ideal way to protect your mattress from potential damage. These pads have a polyurethane backing that will not only repel liquids but will also make it easy to clean. A heated mattress pad can also provide warmth during cold winter months. If you are the type of person who is constantly complaining about being cold when the temperature drops, this might be the right choice for you.
