Mattress Protector & Bedding FAQs
13 QuestionsWhy do I need a mattress protector?
A mattress protector adds a protective layer between you and your mattress, helping shield it from everyday spills, sweat, moisture, dust and general wear. It helps keep your mattress cleaner and fresher by reducing the build-up of bacteria and allergens. It can also prevent stains, make cleaning easier and help your mattress last longer.
Is the Dingiz mattress protector waterproof?
Yes. The protector includes a waterproof TPU backing designed to help stop everyday liquid spills and moisture from reaching the mattress. Clean up spills promptly and follow the care instructions to help maintain the waterproof layer.
Will a waterproof mattress protector feel plastic or noisy?
No. Our mattress protectors have a soft sleeping surface with a discreet waterproof TPU layer underneath, so they don't have the typical plastic feel or noticeable crinkling noise.
What is the difference between your bamboo and cotton mattress protectors?
The Bamboo Mattress Protector offers a naturally soft, breathable and cooling sleep surface, making it a great choice for warmer sleepers or those who prefer a lightweight, fresh feel.
The Cotton Mattress Protector provides a soft, comfortable and breathable surface with a classic cotton feel, ideal for comfortable everyday use.
Both feature natural-fibre top layers and filling, with a waterproof TPU backing to help protect your mattress from spills and moisture.
Will the mattress protector fit a deep mattress?
The fitted skirt and 360° elastic edge are designed to wrap securely around compatible mattresses. Check the dimensions and verified maximum mattress depth shown on the individual product page before ordering.
Can I use it on a memory foam mattress?
Yes. It can be used with most standard mattress types, including memory foam, spring and hybrid mattresses, provided the selected size and fitted depth are suitable for your mattress.
How often should I wash my mattress protector?
For normal use, washing your mattress protector every few weeks or whenever it becomes soiled or has a spill is generally suitable. More frequent washing may be preferred for children, pets, allergies or heavy use. Always follow the product care label.
How should I wash the mattress protector?
Machine wash as needed. Do not use fabric softener or bleach and tumble dry on low heat. If ironing is required, use a low-heat setting with steam or dry ironing. Always follow the care label supplied with your protector. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, as these may damage the fabric or waterproof backing.
Can I tumble dry the mattress protector?
No. Our mattress protectors should not be tumble dried. Allow them to air dry and avoid high heat, as this may damage the waterproof backing. If ironing is required, use a low-heat setting with steam or dry ironing.
Does a mattress protector protect against dust mites?
A mattress protector provides an additional physical barrier between the sleeper and mattress. However, it should not be considered a medical treatment for allergies.
Will it change the feel of my mattress?
The soft, quilted surface adds a light comfort layer while being designed to preserve the overall feel and support of your mattress. Individual experience may vary.
What is TPU, and why is it used?
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is the waterproof backing beneath the sleeping surface. It provides the liquid barrier that helps protect the mattress, which cannot be achieved by cotton or bamboo fibres alone.
Which side of the mattress protector faces up?
Place the soft cotton terry or bamboo jacquard surface facing up, with the waterproof backing facing down toward the mattress.
