The Mitre Essentials GU553 is a real workhorse. For any accommodation provider, protecting the mattress is as crucial as the mattress itself. This model does the job without fuss.

- Pro: The elastic corner straps provide a much more secure fit than skirted styles.
- Con: The PVC backing is slightly less breathable than a non-waterproof alternative.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier House, a popular 15-room seaside guesthouse in Whitby, decided to upgrade all their bedding to enhance guest comfort and streamline their housekeeping. They needed a reliable, hotel quality king mattress protector that could withstand constant use and laundering.
"We were replacing mattresses far too often due to minor spills and stains. Since switching to the Mitre Essentials protectors, our mattresses look brand new, and our laundry team finds the quick turnover a massive help. They fit perfectly and our guests don't even notice they're there."
Robert Green – Owner, The Pier House
By protecting their new mattresses, The Pier House has projected a 30% increase in the lifespan of their mattress assets, saving thousands in the long run.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, unpack the protector and allow it to air for a couple of hours to remove any 'new product' smell.
- Place the protector flat on the mattress, ensuring it is smooth and wrinkle-free.
- Stretch each of the four elasticated straps securely under each corner of the mattress.
- Ensure the straps are lying flat and are not twisted for a long-lasting, secure fit.
Keeping It Going
- Machine wash on a gentle, low-temperature cycle (around 40°C) to protect the waterproof backing.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or harsh chemical stain removers.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. High heat can damage the PVC layer.
- Regularly check the elastic straps for any signs of wear and tear to ensure it remains effective.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this mattress protector noisy to sleep on?
A: Not at all. The soft, quilted top layer effectively muffles any crinkling sound from the waterproof backing, ensuring a quiet night's sleep.
Q: How do the elasticated straps work?
A: They are strong elastic bands stitched to each corner. You simply stretch them under each corner of the mattress for a snug and secure fit.
Q: Is it 100% waterproof?
A: It is highly water-resistant, meaning it will protect the mattress from typical spills and accidents by preventing liquid from soaking through immediately.
Q: What is the benefit of a bound edge?
A: The bound edge reinforces the perimeter of the protector, preventing it from fraying or coming apart during washing, which significantly increases its lifespan.
Q: Can I tumble dry this protector?
A: Yes, it can be tumble dried, but always on a low heat setting to protect the integrity of the PVC waterproof layer.
Q: Will this fit a very deep, modern mattress?
A: The elasticated straps offer excellent flexibility and should accommodate most standard and slightly deeper king size mattresses with ease.
Q: Does the quilting make it feel bulky under a sheet?
A: No, the quilting is low-profile. It's designed to add a layer of comfort without being noticeably thick or bulky under your fitted sheet.
Q: What's the main difference between this and the non-PVC version?
A: The key difference is the PVC backing on this model, which provides the water-resistant feature. The non-PVC version is purely for comfort and minor dust protection.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy a PVC Quilted Top Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what 'PVC Quilted' really means for your beds? Think of it as the best of both worlds. The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) layer is the hidden guardian – it’s a completely waterproof barrier that stops liquids in their tracks. This is what makes the PVC quilted mattress protector king so effective against tea spills, accidents, or rain-soaked luggage being placed on the bed.
But sleeping directly on PVC wouldn't be very comfy. That’s where the 'Quilted' part comes in. A soft, padded fabric layer is stitched on top, creating small, puffy pockets of air. This does two things: it provides a comfortable, breathable surface for your guests to sleep on, and it completely masks the feel and sound of the waterproof layer beneath. It's like having a bodyguard for your mattress who is also wonderfully polite and completely unnoticeable.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Resorts: An essential for maintaining high standards of hygiene and protecting mattress investments across many rooms.
- Guest Houses & B&Bs: Offers affordable, reliable protection to ensure every guest room is perfectly prepared and easy to clean.
