Mattress topper
Protecting your mattress with a bed base cover is a smart move as it safeguards the mattress from dust and the bed's slats or base, ensuring constant hygiene.
Protecting the mattress with a bed base cover
Many people don't use them and are unaware of their existence, but between the mattress and the bed slats, protection with a felt or padded bed base cover is essential for hygiene and mattress care. The bed base cover protects the mattress from mites, dust, and friction between the mattress and the slats; it also functions as an anti-slip layer. The slat cover or bed base cover is a protective layer that allows you to preserve the underside of the mattress. This way, you don't need a full encasement mattress protector to cover the entire mattress; a fitted mattress protector will suffice, as the underside of the mattress will be protected by the bed base cover.
Which bed base cover to choose
Especially if you have a storage bed, a double bed base cover is a great help in limiting dust penetration into the storage compartment. It is attached with ties (felt model) or with an elastic fitted band in the padded version. If your bed base is for a storage bed, the bed base cover with an elastic fitted band is less practical because you have a mattress retainer at the head of the slatted base.
Below are the most suitable bed base covers, depending on your needs. The felt bed base cover is a bit firmer and has ties for attachment, while the padded one is softer, easier to wash, and has elastic side bands.
