Moltons are an essential hygienic protection for your mattress. They absorb moisture, help keep the mattress fresh and significantly extend its life. Moltons are available in various sizes, such as 90x200, 140x200 or 160x200, so that there is always a suitable size. Waterproof moltons are also popular, for example for extra mattress protection. In the range of Amsterdam bedroom you will find moltons that are easy to wash and suitable for daily use. With the right mattress, your bed stays clean and well cared for.
A good mattress is a significant investment in your health, and you want to keep it in top condition for as long as possible. A quality mattress protector (or molton) is your best ally here. At Slaapkamer Amsterdam, we always recommend putting a protector directly around your mattress or topper before the fitted sheet. But what exactly is a mattress protector? It is a thick, brushed cotton layer that acts as an effective buffer, capturing perspiration before it can reach your mattress. If you use a mattress protector, you significantly extend the life of your bed.
The biggest advantage of a mattress protector is its enormous absorption capacity. On average, a person loses up to half a liter of fluid per night. Without a protector, this moisture soaks directly into your mattress, leading to odors and bacteria. An interesting fact: cotton is a natural product that not only absorbs moisture but also breathes exceptionally well. For those with allergies, it also serves as an indispensable barrier against dust mites and dander.
At Slaapkamer Amsterdam, we have a wide range of protectors specifically designed for modern sleeping systems:
A qualitative mattress protector is very durable, but regular care is essential. When asked how often to wash mattress protector items, we recommend at least once every two weeks. You should wash mattress protector sets at 60°C to effectively kill dust mites and bacteria. Our protectors maintain their softness even after many washes. By pulling the protector tightly around the mattress with the elastic corners, you also reduce the wear and tear of your fitted sheets.
Choosing the right protection seems easy, but the fit and material thickness make a big difference in comfort. Whether you need a thick cotton version or a waterproof mattress protector, we are happy to help you make the right choice. At Slaapkamer Amsterdam, honest advice and attention to detail are key. Stop by to learn how this simple addition can extend your mattress's lifespan.
If you wonder what mattress protectors are made of, most high-quality versions at Slaapkamer Amsterdam are crafted from 100% heavy-weight cotton. The fabric is brushed on both sides to create a soft, voluminous texture. This "molton" finish ensures maximum moisture absorption and comfort, protecting your mattress core from perspiration.
To determine what size mattress protector I need, match the dimensions of your mattress exactly. We stock all common sizes, such as 90x200, 140x200, 160x200, 180x200, and 200x200. You can also choose 210 or 220 length. Additionally, check the corner height; a topper requires a shallow pocket, while a thick hotel mattress needs a protector with a deep pocket.
On average, a quality mattress protector lasts 3 to 5 years. Over time, the cotton fibers lose their loft and absorption capacity due to frequent washing. For the best hygiene, it is recommended to replace your protector when the fabric starts to feel thin or less soft.
