My husband has bladder issues. It’s not his fault, it’s not something he can control, but it IS frustrating. We work opposite shifts, so I’d come home from a long night at work to find a wet bed and nowhere for me to sleep. So, I got a mattress protector from Walmart, it said it was waterproof and it worked okay-ish.. it was better than nothing, but it’s “waterproof” barrier still let quite a bit of liquid through. Not ideal, but I figured it was the best I’d get without one of those hospital mattresses or rubber sheets. Eventually, with use and washing, it went from okay-ish to “what is this thing even doing??!?” I started looking for other options. That’s when I found SweetZzz on a website for people with incontinence issues. It had pretty good reviews, so I thought it was worth a shot. A girls gotta sleep. When it came in I thought, “there’s no way this is waterproof - it’s too thin and soft!” I put the protector on and forgot about it. A few weeks later I came home to my husband carrying the sheets and bedding into the laundry room. I thought to myself, “Oh no.. Another night with not enough sleep. Where’s the cleaner spray? I’ll get started..” I walked into the bedroom to find nothing - NOT EVEN A DROP on the mattress. NOTHING!! Nothing! To say I’m impressed is the understatement of my LIFETIME. I think angels sang. We put the SweetZzz protector in the washer and I foolishly replaced it with the old “protector,” made the bed and drifted off into bliss. Totally forgot until a few weeks later, tonight, when it happened again… walked in to find the bed stripped and my husband sleeping on a towel. Instant regret. I’d been meaning to buy another one but had forgotten. When things work right, you don’t HAVE to think about them constantly. That’s when I knew, I had to order more. Which is what I’m doing on this site right now. Ordering more. I wish they weren’t so expensive, I’d order 5 of them. Regardless, we will have at LEAST two on hand until the issue is resolved or some even MORE magical product comes on the market. Seriously amazed!

I’ve been buying mattress protectors for 8 years since I heard of them and this one is the best so far after almost 10 months of usage. Let me tell you my story to this protector. I thought to cover your mattress you need to buy sheets. Only after so many years of not using a mattress protector did I know that you actually still need a protector with your sheets. About 8 years ago I purchased my first mattress when I moved out and I didn’t purchase a mattress protector then. Within the first year the mattress’s cover started changing color and I found out from research that to completely protect your mattress from sweat you need a mattress protector not just sheets. Since then I have bought so many mattress protectors and they all rip and stop protecting after 4 to 5 months. I thought that this is the nature of these protectors. I also learned that they’re all somewhat rough and make the mattress a little warmer than it should be. 8 years after I needed a newer better mattress because my Serta mattress was just not doing it anymore. I needed something with support that still had a little give for comfort. I research and stumbled upon Sweet Z latex mattress. I read some reviews and purchased it. I also decided to get their natural mattress protector to go with it because it looked like quality. The mattress and the protector arrived and now I’ve been using them for almost 10 months. I mean why buy and expensive mattress with good cooling then put a cheap mattress protector that ruins its purpose. Now I know that not all mattress protectors are created equal. Sure, this protector is more expensive than most you find for $40 but it has none of their weaknesses and is not made of cheap plastic. It actually says on the box that its 100% natural. This protector is very soft on my skin and is very cool and breathable. I wash it once every two weeks and its still holding up very well. It must be because its not made of plastic like the other ones. It also fits very nice with my 12 inch latex mattress. Every time I wash it I take a look at my mattress and it looks as if I just got it out of the box. I really give this mattress protector 100% with no complains.

This is actually my third protector buy in as many months. The first one was from Amazon and it was both hot and rough on my skin. The second one was also from Amazon and it came damaged. I don't understand how they have so many good reviews! Anyway, this one I got is cooler better and much softer on my skin. I really hope it lasts.

UPDATE. This is my update after 1 year. The protector is still as good as the day we bought it. The cooling effect hasn't reduced whatsoever!

My allergies have also been reduced. When the guy on the chat told me that it would reduce my allergies because it's natural I though he was blowing smock up my you know what! But actually over the span of a year I did notice my allergies reducing.
Take my advice, stay away from all those cheapy protectors and get yourself this one instead. And stop reading reviews already! LOL

I didn’t get my mattress from here because my 14 year old latex mattress is still good. I was just looking for natural cool and not so noisy mattress protector to get since mine was no longer… protecting. So I got this one about 2 months ago and now its been washed 4 times already. I was honestly excepting its quality to go dawn after a few washes but nothing yet. It didn’t shrink or get any holes. I used the mattress protector by itself without any sheets a couple of times when I was washing my sheets and it really is comfortable and smooth. My last mattress protector lasted a good 4 years but was really noisy and very harsh on the skin so you could never use it without sheets but not this one. It somehow protects the mattress and stays cool at the same time. I really can’t recommend this enough especially since it cost $20 less than then the supposedly good protector I got 4 years ago with all the bells and whistles.

My old mattress got totally messed up when our apartment had an apparent mold and mildew issue, so I bought this to protect my new mattress. It really helped me because it dropped my allergies to almost none when I sleep. If only I’ve known that all the allergy symptoms were because I didn’t have a mattress protector. I still haven’t spilled anything on it to test if its water proof, but I can say for sure that it doesn’t allow anything to go through since my mattress (unlike the last one) is still very clean like I just bought it. I will never use my mattress without this protector again. Love that this doesn't make my mattress retain heat or affect the feel of the mattress itself. 100% in love with the product.
