Waterproof top layer creates a defensive barrier against spills, contaminants, and skin cells, and help prevent wear and tear — preserving your mattress's lifespan.

Featuring FUZE® antimicrobial protection, this waterproof mattress cover provides long-lasting protection from odors and moisture.

Machine washable in hot water (130°F) for a deep clean, while maintaining a secure fit on mattresses up to 18" deep.

For ultimate protection, pair with Protect-A-Bed®'s six-sided mattress encasements, box spring protectors, and pillow protectors for a fully clean and protected bed.

Peace of mind with Protect-A-Bed

Engineered protection you can see. Every layer works to keep what's unwanted out of your bed.

01

Extra Cushion, Zero Worry

The LiquiDry® waterproof top layer blocks spills and moisture before they reach your mattress, so you get a softer sleep surface without giving up protection.

02

Sleeps Like It's Not Even There

No plastic crinkle here — just a breathable, whisper-quiet padded layer that adds comfort instead of taking it away.

03

Stays Fresh, Wash After Wash

Machine washable in hot water (130°F) to kill dust mites and bed bugs. Built from superior materials that hold up wash after wash, so the protection lasts longer.
