A waterproof mattress protector (also known as a bed protector, mattress cover, or bed cover) is more important than you think. When you’ve invested in a premium mattress, a waterproof mattress protector can be a relatively inexpensive way to extend the life of your mattress and even enhance your sleeping experience. It helps reduce allergens, dust mites, and damage from liquids.
There are tons of “waterproof” mattress protectors on the market – I’ve had poor experiences before with mattress protectors that didn’t ‘protect’ like they were supposed (or that were too loud) – and so I decided to find the best waterproof mattress protector on the market. I started by going through a bunch of lists of the best waterproof mattress protectors – I scoured Amazon and direct to consumer sites to come up with a list of 5 of the best waterproof mattress protectors on the market for all sleepers.
This waterproof mattress protector from Dosaze is made of a silver-infused 70% bamboo and 30% cotton fabric blend to ensure users’ comfort. It also treated with an anti-stain repellent solution and finished with a truly waterproof lining. The bamboo / cotton combination is actually comfortable enough to sleep on, in our opinion (though added sheets are recommended!) and and are not loud or scratchy in any way (like a lot of other waterproof mattress protectors are). It has complete moisture protection to make sure no forms of liquids can get to your mattress.
We’re confident when we say that this waterproof mattress protector not only protects your mattress investment, it actually enhances your sleeping experience. In all of our testing, it definitely performed the best. This bed protector was waterproof after multiple washes, was not noisy, and was even comfortable enough to sleep on (without sheets).
The Dosaze Cooling Mattress Protector doesn’t just look great; it fits most beds really well, too. In fact, it can fit mattresses up to 18 inches deep. It’s really a great bed protector.
If you’re allergic to latex and you’re looking for something made with organic cotton, Naturepedic Organic Mattress Protector won’t disappoint you. It’s made of GOTS certified organic cotton which means that everything about it adheres to organic guidelines.
This product features “dry sleep technology”. Its ultra-thin waterproof layer works really well in blocking off liquids. And the best part? It’s still able to let the fabric breathe. It’s a good waterproof mattress cover.

The Avocado Organic Mattress Protector is made of quality material and has a durable construction. However, it is important to note that this mattress protector is NOT 100% waterproof – rather, it is absorbent. This is meant to keep the protector more breathable and less plasticky.
The Avocado Organic Waterproof Mattress Protector is kind of like a fitted sheet – it covers the top and the sides of the bed. There is also an elastic band around the perimeter that holds it in place, and we did not notice that it moved around throughout the night.
While this is indeed a great mattress protector, it is also a bit tough to justify the extremely high price point (nearly $250) -there are other mattress protectors and while the cotton is nice, it isn’t a must have for a mattress protector by any means. We think you can spend less than half of the price for an equally effective mattress protector with all of the same features.
A 100-night trial allows customers to return their protector for a full refund of the purchase price if they decide it isn’t right for them, while a 1-year limited warranty covers defects.
This mattress protector has a great feel – the eucalyptus fabric is cool and soft to the touch. It contains shredded PET fill that is free of BPAs and has an OEKO-TEX certification, so you can rest easy know that the protector is free of harmful chemicals and substances.
The material does absorb liquid well, but it is important to note that it is not completely waterproof. It is also important to note that this protector only covers the top of your mattress – it doesn’t cover multiple sides so it doesn’t protect your entire mattress.
