  • What is the Miracle Layer™ / Miracle Membrane®?

    The Miracle Layer is a waterproof layer on all ProtectABed products and in the Buddies briefs. It is found on the underside of your mattress protector and Fusion sheet and on the inside of your Pillow protector/pillow case, quilt protector/quilt cover and Fusion Flat Sheet. The waterproof layer in the Buddies briefs are sewn in, between fabrics. Made from Polyurethane (not plastic) it is soft, comfortable, silent and breathable. Not allowing water particles to pass through but allowing air vapour to do so, like human skin. Protecting your mattress, pillows and quilts from everyday accidents and spills, that seep in, causing yellowing and stains and providing food for dust mites and the growth of mould and bacteria. Protecting you and your family from dust mite allergens that may be present in your mattress or pillow. Allergens that are a known cause and or trigger of asthma, allergies and eczema. Ensuring a healthier night's sleep.

  • What is the best temperature to wash my Protect-A-Bed® product on?

    Warm wash, as per the temperature specified on the sew in label. This is warm enough to kill bacteria and dust mites.

  • Can I dry my Protect-A-Bed® products in the dryer?

    Yes, you can tumble dry your mattress protector at a low to medium heat, as per the temperature specified on the sew in label. Always dry with other linens, as this stops the waterproofing from sticking to hot air inlay.

  • Are the sides of my mattress protected against spills and stains?

    Only if you have purchased a Tencel Elite or Fusion, with side protection. This is because on the Elite & Fusion, the Miracle Layer or waterproofing extends to the sides or skirting of the mattress protector. All other products do not have side protection.

  • I'm a hot sleeper & sweat a lot at night. Which product is best for me?

    Luckily, most of our products are made from a thermo-regulating materiel which contract and trap heat when it's exposed to cold areas and expands to allow heat to escape to prevent you from overheating. They are also moisture-wicking, meaning they'll pull moisture away from your body. Look out for our Tencel-Lyocell products & our Arctic Chill for a dry night's sleep.

    Absolutely not! Our mattress & pillow protectors features a Waterproof Miracle Layer®, which ensures that excess moisture cannot seep into your bed or pillows, keeping them clean, while you stay dry and comfortable.
