The Importance of a Stain Proof Mattress Protector
Thursday, November 20th, 2008Take a look at the warranty card provided by the manufacturer of your mattress. Every warranty card says something like this: “Warranty is voided if mattress is stained or soiled.” As a health precaution, mattress manufacturers are not required by law to honor any warranty if a mattress has stains on it. Let’s say you have three inch body impressions in your six-month old mattress set, but you failed to protect the mattress with a stain resistant mattress pad or protector. Fido, your dog, slept with you one night when he wasn’t feeling so well. The bad news is that Fido had an accident on your bed, and now there is a urine stain on your mattress. Even though you may have a valid warranty claim for your mattress due to the three-inch body impressions, the mattress manufacturer can legally deny your warranty claim, and you’ll be stuck with a sagging and smelly mattress.
So the moral of the story is: If you sleep with dogs, get yourself a stain resistant/ waterproof mattress pad like the Sealy Bed Armor. Acutally, protect your mattress even if you sleep by yourself. The stain doesn’t have to be anything gross like urine to void your warranty. Even if your mattress is stained by your nighttime tea, you could void your warranty. Tea and urine look the same when they’re dried on a mattress.
A few nice things about the Sealy Bed Armor mattress pad: It is stainproof and has a “silent” waterproof backing that won’t crinkle when you turn over. The Bed Armor is designed to be very thin and lightweight, so it doesn’t change the feel of your mattress set. It makes a perfect mattress pad for memory foam mattresses.
