Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Cliffside Hotel in Newquay was facing rising costs associated with cleaning and replacing mattresses due to guest spills and general wear. They needed a reliable but discreet solution that wouldn't compromise on guest comfort.
"We were spending a fortune on professional mattress cleaning. Since switching to the Mitre protectors on all our double beds, our housekeeping team is less stressed, and our rooms are easier to turn around. They fit perfectly and our guests haven't noticed a thing, which is exactly what you want."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
The hotel has seen a 70% reduction in mattress cleaning callouts and has extended the projected lifespan of its mattresses by two years.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure your mattress is clean and dry before fitting the protector for the first time.
- Unfold the protector and lay it flat, with the quilted side facing up.
- Hook one elasticated strap over a corner of the mattress, then work your way around, stretching the other straps over the remaining corners.
- Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure a flat, discreet surface before putting on your fitted sheet.
Keeping It Going
- Wash before first use to soften the fabric.
- Can be machine washed. Always check the product's care label for specific temperature guidance.
- Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they can damage the waterproof PVC backing over time.
- To prolong its life, air dry where possible or tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this commercial waterproof mattress protector double noisy to sleep on?
A: No. The quilted top layer provides a soft buffer that significantly dampens any potential noise from the PVC backing, ensuring a quiet night's sleep.
Q: Does the PVC backing make the bed hot?
A: While any waterproof layer will be less breathable than cotton, the quilted polyester top helps to regulate temperature and provide a comfortable sleeping surface.
Q: How secure are the elasticated straps?
A: They are designed for commercial use, offering a tight and secure fit on standard double mattresses to prevent the protector from slipping or bunching up.
Q: Can the Mitre Essentials GU552 mattress cover be tumble dried?
A: We recommend checking the care label, but generally, it's best to tumble dry on a low heat setting to protect the integrity of the waterproof layer.
Q: Is it completely waterproof or just water-resistant?
A: This protector is fully waterproof thanks to its PVC (polyvinyl chloride) backing, offering complete protection against liquids.
Q: What is the difference between this and a terry towelling protector?
A: This has a smooth, quilted polyester surface, whereas a terry protector has a looped, towel-like texture. The choice is generally down to personal preference on feel.
Q: Does the quilting get flat after a few washes?
A: The quilting is designed to withstand commercial laundering and should retain its structure well, providing a lasting layer of comfort.
Q: Is the material hypoallergenic?
A: The polyester and PVC materials act as a barrier against dust mites, a common allergen, making it a great choice for improving bedroom hygiene.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy a Bound Edge Makes All the Difference
Ever noticed the edges of cheap bedding fraying after just a few washes? That's where a 'bound edge' comes in. Think of it like the protective plastic cap on the end of a shoelace – it stops everything from unravelling. On this mattress protector, a separate piece of fabric is folded over the raw edges and stitched securely in place. This simple-sounding feature is crucial for commercial use. It means the protector can withstand the rigours of high-temperature washing and frequent handling without falling apart, ensuring you get a much longer, more reliable life from your purchase.
