Thomas Keane – Furniture Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The elasticated straps are genuinely robust and hold it firmly on the mattress.
- Con: It's not fully waterproof, so won't protect against major liquid accidents.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Dog Inn in Whitby, North Yorkshire, was looking to upgrade their bedding protection ahead of the busy summer season. Their existing protectors were tired and didn't fit properly, causing issues for their housekeeping staff.
"We needed something that was quick for the team to change, but that also added a bit of extra comfort for our guests. These Mitre protectors are spot on – they don't slip about, and they've genuinely made the beds feel more inviting."
Robert Davies – Proprietor
The upgrade resulted in a 10% reduction in bed changeover time and a noticeable drop in mattress cleaning requirements.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, remove the protector from its packaging and allow it to air out for an hour.
- Lay the protector flat over the top surface of the mattress, ensuring it is smooth.
- Stretch each of the four elasticated straps over and under the corners of the mattress.
- Ensure the protector is taut and securely in place before fitting your bottom sheet.
Keeping It Going
- Machine wash on a standard cycle with similar colours.
- Can be tumble dried on a low heat setting to speed up laundry turnaround.
- Crucially, DO NOT IRON, as the high heat can melt the polypropylene fibres.
- Periodically check the elastic straps for any signs of wear and tear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this mattress protector waterproof?
A: No, this is a quilted protector designed for comfort and protection against general wear and tear. It is not fully waterproof but will resist minor spills if dealt with quickly.
Q: Will it fit a particularly deep mattress?
A: It's designed for standard depth mattresses. The elasticated straps provide good flexibility, but for extra-deep mattresses, you may want to check the measurements carefully.
Q: Can I iron this protector to get creases out?
A: No, you must not iron it. The polypropylene material can be damaged by the high heat from an iron. Tumble drying on a low heat will remove most creases.
Q: Does it make a rustling noise when you move on the bed?
A: Not at all. The soft, quilted fabric and polyester filling ensure it's quiet and won't disturb sleep, unlike some plastic-backed protectors.
Q: What is the filling material?
A: The light and soft filling is made from 100% polyester, which provides cushioning without being heavy.
Q: How does it attach to the bed?
A: It features a strong elasticated strap at each of the four corners, which simply hooks underneath the mattress to hold it securely in place.
Q: Is this a 'fitted sheet' style protector?
A: No, this is a flat protector that sits on top of the mattress and is held in place by corner straps, making it very fast to fit and remove.
Q: What does '50gsm' mean?
A: GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Metre' and is a measure of the fabric's weight and density. 50gsm is ideal for this application, being lightweight yet durable.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy Does a Polypropylene Cover Matter?
You often see 'polypropylene' listed on commercial products, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it as the dependable Land Rover of fabrics. Unlike natural fibres like cotton which can absorb moisture and stain easily, polypropylene is non-absorbent, incredibly tough, and resistant to most chemicals and abrasion. It’s like the difference between a paper cup and a reusable travel mug – one is for a single use, the other is built to last through countless cycles. This resilience is why it's the perfect material for a **hotel quality mattress protector double** that needs to withstand being stripped, washed, and re-fitted day after day without degrading.
