AllerEase Ultimate Allergy Protection and Comfort Zippered Mattress Protector, King

After reading that this product was a frequently returned item (despite the high star rating), I looked further at the 1-star ratings to make my decision. Several purchasers sated that their mattress protector ripped while placing it over mattress or it was not waterproof as stated in the description. I purchased 2 in twin size for my daughter's day bed with trundle. I placed the protector on the top mattress myself (yes, it would have been simpler with 2 people), however it did not rip. I was careful not to tug or pull too hard. I also purchased the organic cotton mattress pad by AllerEase to place on top of the protector. I slept on the day bed that night and never heard any "plasticy" noises. This may be helpful for those considering their selection not based on having a bedwetting youngster (or animals). I simply wanted something to help protect the new mattresses to keep dust/allergens, etc. out. I have always placed a mattress pad over the mattress protector. If you are like-minded in wanting to minimize chemical exposure that we are bombarded in today, I looked into the HEIQ technology listed on the packaging of the protector. It's purpose is to minimize odors from bodies (human) and as a result of bacteria. This is from the company's website: HeiQ Pure™ products effectively address body odors and bacterial derived odors on textiles Improved comfort, hygiene and freshness Exceptional antimicrobial efficiency and durability (guaranteed performance for the lifetime of the product) bluesign approved and OEKO-TEX suited Preserve fabric properties such as breathability, hand feel, color and wicking Suitable for all fiber types It accomplishes this by silver ions, and I did not find that it is potentially toxic. Again, I have a mattress pad over the protector. I was equally satisfied with the pad from AllerEase which is organic cotton as the top surface. The sides are the typical synthetic nylon or polyester found in most similar products. I hope this will help others decide what is right for them.

Chose the AllerEase Ultimate Allergy Protection Ultimate Cotton to help cut down on allergens from our mattress. Amazon states that this product is returned frequently, so a few details: Item is difficult to dry after washing as stated in reviews. Due to waterproofing the mattress cover comes out of the wash dripping like a plastic bag, plan on hanging the mattress cover for a few days to allow for air drying, then toss in dryer for a short period to fluff. Note that we noticed that the cover seemed to stick together in a few places when we tried to dry it in the dryer for over 15 minutes, air drying with a short fluff in the dryer worked beautifully. Fits the mattress nicely, slides over like an envelope with a zipper closure on one end. A definite two-person task to put the cover on. The cover does have a waterproof feature so it does have the "crinkle" sound, however the ultimate cotton feature on this cover refers to the top which is softer and quieter for sleeping. Also purchased the pillow covers to cut down on allergens. So far we're noticing a marked difference in the mornings, waking up with no stuffiness or sneezing. A good purchase for us at a fairly reasonable price point. Quality: Nice zipper seems to be good quality Comfort: Ultimate cotton top provides a more comfortable, less "crinkle" sleeping experience

This cover is perfect. Just bought a second one after having the first for a year. Great fit for a 15” queen. Took the original off a bed it had gone on when the mattress was brand new (and embarrassingly long between washes of the cover). I get night sweats and the mattress cover had become sweat stained - I was worried about what I’d fine when I took off the cover but the mattress was pristine - absolutely like new. This cover did its job beautifully. And the cotton cover is good for not trapping heat, as advertised.

Mattress protectors are one of those things that seem optional until you need them, and then you wish you'd had one all along. This AllerEase protector delivers comprehensive protection for your mattress while maintaining the comfort you expect from your bed. It's practical, effective, and well-designed. The allergy protection is the primary feature here. If you deal with dust mites, pet dander, or other allergens, this creates a barrier between you and those irritants. The material blocks allergens from penetrating through to your mattress and prevents what's already in your mattress from reaching you. That protection makes a noticeable difference in sleep quality if you're sensitive to allergens. The zippered encasement design provides complete coverage. Unlike fitted sheet-style protectors that only cover the top and sides, this one fully encloses the mattress with a zipper closure. Every surface is protected, which means comprehensive defense against allergens, dust mites, bed bugs, and spills. That complete coverage gives you peace of mind. Installation is straightforward but takes two people for a king-size mattress. You unzip it, slide the mattress in, and zip it back up. The zipper runs along three sides, making it accessible. Once it's on, it stays put and doesn't shift or bunch up under your sheets. The fit is snug without being overly tight. Comfort is where this really impresses. Many mattress protectors make your bed feel crinkly, hot, or plasticky. This one doesn't. The material is soft and breathable, allowing air circulation so you don't overheat during sleep. It doesn't change the feel of your mattress – you still get the same comfort and support you had before. The breathable fabric technology prevents that sweaty, uncomfortable feeling some protectors create. Moisture can escape through the material, which keeps you cooler and more comfortable throughout the night. If you tend to sleep hot, this won't make that problem worse like some waterproof protectors do. Waterproof protection handles spills and accidents effectively. The barrier prevents liquids from soaking through to your mattress while still allowing vapor to pass through. That means protection without the clammy feeling. Whether it's a spilled drink, pet accident, or any other liquid mishap, your mattress stays dry and protected. Noise level is minimal. Some protectors crinkle and rustle every time you move, which disrupts sleep. This material is quiet – you don't hear it when shifting positions during the night. That silent performance is crucial for undisturbed sleep. The zipper quality is excellent. It's sturdy, glides smoothly, and includes a protective flap that covers the zipper pull once closed. That flap prevents the zipper from opening accidentally and provides an extra layer of allergen protection. The zipper mechanism feels durable and well-engineered. Washing and care are simple. This is machine washable, which is essential for maintaining hygiene. You can wash it periodically to keep it fresh and clean without special procedures or hand-washing. It comes out of the washer clean and can be tumble dried on low. The material holds up well through multiple wash cycles. Durability after washing remains strong. The material doesn't break down, tear, or lose its protective properties after laundering. The waterproof layer stays intact, and the allergen barrier continues functioning effectively. This is built to last through years of regular use and washing. Mattress longevity is significantly extended with this protector. Your mattress is a major investment, and protecting it from spills, stains, allergens, and general wear keeps it in better condition for longer. The cost of this protector is minimal compared to replacing a damaged mattress prematurely. The fit for king-size mattresses is accurate. It's sized appropriately for standard king mattresses without being too loose or too tight. The elastic properties of the material allow it to accommodate slight variations in mattress thickness while maintaining a secure fit. Sleep quality improvement is noticeable for allergy sufferers. Reducing exposure to allergens during sleep means less nighttime congestion, fewer allergy symptoms, and better rest. That health benefit alone makes this worthwhile for anyone with allergies or asthma. Value for the protection provided is outstanding. You're getting comprehensive mattress protection, allergy defense, waterproof coverage, and breathable comfort at a reasonable price. When you factor in the mattress protection and health benefits, this pays for itself quickly. For anyone looking to protect their mattress investment while improving sleep quality, this AllerEase protector is an excellent choice. It provides real allergy protection, keeps your mattress clean and dry, doesn't compromise comfort, and is easy to maintain. Whether you have allergies, pets, kids, or just want to protect your mattress, this delivers reliable performance.

Nice but cotton cover makes it difficult to put sheets on.

Really like these because it protects the mattresses at a fully furnished condo we own. You need another person to help you put it on but once it’s on, it stays put. We don’t have issues with bed bugs but the state is highly known for them so with these I don’t need to worry about it. It’s waterproof and doesn’t feel plastic/cheap, no issues with drinks or menstrual leaking and ruining the mattresses. Directions say it can be washed but it will melt if put in the dryer regardless of how cool you make it. It holds up very well, I only change out when I change tenants. It helps with Allergy protection too which my tenants appreciate.

This fit our Queen size bed wonderfully! Our whole family has allergies and this protector helped, can be snug placing on the mattress but it does the job!

Do not buy! I don't understand this product at all. It seemed to actually wick moisture *into* the mattress and then trap it. They say to put the cottony side up but then the underside of the case keeps the moisture in and collects it. The whole bottom side was actually wet to the touch when I removed it, and the mattress had started molding! GROSS! And also expensive!! because now I need a new mattress. Honestly I don't know how they can stay in business! I woukd sue if I had the money/time/inclination.
