Do I need to use a waterproof mattress protector on my Essentia?Updated 2 years ago

We do not recommend the use of waterproof covers on an Essentia mattress unless in situations where accidents may be common such as with small children or older adults. 

The reason is that even the most natural waterproof cover still must use some sort of lamination or backing to protect the mattress. This lamination is plastic which can trap heat and negate the active cooling effects of our foam.

Plus, the more layers you put between yourself and the foam the less contour and pressure-relieving benefits you experience. 

If your situation does mean that the mattress will be more susceptible to accidents we do have the Body Guard mattress protector available. 

All Essentia mattresses do come with an organic cotton cover that can be removed and washed.
