Did you know that your mattress warranty is voided if your mattress has any rips, stains, punctures, or burns on it? The Ultimate Mattress Protector is built to guard against all of these, which means your mattress—and your mattress warranty—will remain safeguarded. Designed to wick moisture and heat away from the body, the Ultimate Protector works in tandem with all the latest cooling technologies in your mattress. The cover is knit with silver thread technology and natural Tencel ® fiber, which work as antimicrobials to inhibit bacteria growth. Yes, it is waterproof and breathable. No, it does not make that annoying crinkly noise when you lay on it, nor does it get hot like the protectors you may find in the big box stores. This protector includes a 10-year warranty that protects your mattress against accidental rips, tears, punctures, burns, and stains (including food, drink, or bodily fluids). If the protector fails against any of these accidents and your mattress is beyond repair or cannot be cleaned, both the protector and/or the mattress will be replaced for free. This is not your average mattress protector from a big box store… it offers much, much more!
