- Consideration: The polypropylene material is durable but less breathable than premium cotton alternatives.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Hotel in Llandudno was looking for a robust bedding solution after noting an increase in mattress damage from guest spills, which was impacting their operational budget. They needed a reliable, waterproof, and compliant protector that could withstand a busy hotel's laundry cycle.
"We fitted these to all 80 of our super king beds six months ago. The fit is perfect, they don't make a sound under the sheets, and they've already paid for themselves. Our housekeeping team finds them a breeze to change, and our mattresses still look immaculate."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
The hotel has reported zero mattress replacements due to staining since installation, projecting a saving of thousands over the next two years.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, unpack the protector and let it air for an hour or two.
- Fit it directly onto the mattress, stretching the elasticated skirt over each corner for a snug fit.
- Smooth out any wrinkles on the top surface before putting on your bed sheets.
Keeping It Going
- Machine wash with similar colours on a standard cycle (up to 40°C is ideal).
- To preserve the waterproof layer, avoid using chlorine bleach or harsh chemical stain removers.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry whenever possible to maximise its lifespan.
- Periodically inspect the protector for any signs of wear to ensure continued protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Mitre Essentials GT817 mattress protector noisy to sleep on?
A: Not at all. It's designed with a soft polypropylene cover that minimises any rustling or 'crinkling' sounds, ensuring a quiet and comfortable night's sleep for your guests.
Q: Is it fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
A: The top surface is 100% waterproof, creating an impermeable barrier to protect the mattress from any liquid spills, stains, and accidents.
Q: What are the washing and drying instructions?
A: It can be machine washed and tumble-dried on a low heat setting, making it ideal for the fast turnaround times required in a commercial environment.
Q: Will this fit a deep super king mattress?
A: Its fitted-sheet design with an elasticated skirt is made to accommodate most standard-depth commercial super king mattresses for a secure and snug fit.
Q: What does BS 7175 certification mean?
A: It's a UK Fire Regulation standard for furnishings. It certifies that the material has been tested to resist ignition from both a smouldering cigarette and a match flame, which is a legal requirement for hotels and other contract environments.
Q: Does the polyester filling make the bed hot?
A: The filling is very light and is there to provide a minimal comfort layer. It's designed not to retain significant heat, although it will be slightly warmer than a protector with no filling.
Q: Can I use fabric softener when washing it?
A: We'd advise against it. Fabric softeners can leave a residue that may break down the waterproof lining over time, reducing its effectiveness.
Q: Is the elasticated skirt also waterproof?
A: No, the waterproof protection is focused on the top surface of the mattress. The skirt is made from a durable, stretchy fabric designed purely to keep the protector firmly in place.

Seeing 'FR to BS 7175 ignition source 0 and 1' on a spec sheet can seem a bit technical, but it's one of the most important features for any commercial establishment. In simple terms, it means the fabric has been rigorously tested to resist catching fire from both a smouldering cigarette (source 0) and the equivalent of a lit match (source 1). Think of it as a built-in safety measure for your bedding. It’s not just about ticking a box; it’s about guest safety, legal compliance, and meeting the requirements of your business insurance. This standard ensures your furnishings won't easily contribute to a fire, giving staff and guests vital time to react in an emergency.
