Why Are Mattress Pads Important?

by Alex Santander September 03, 2011

The function of a mattress pad is to protect your mattress and keep you comfortable and dry. It is very important to use one that is made from natural fibers - such as cotton or wool - because these are very breathable and absorbent. Conventional pads made from polyester or poly-cotton blends are not as breathable or absorbent.

The mattress pad is generally the only washable component of a natural mattress (futon or otherwise) so you want it to be super durable and hold up to the frequent washing & drying that it should get. Our simple yet very comfortable and durable cotton pad was designed by Soaring Heart Natural Bed Company over 20 years ago and has really stood the test of time. We regularly talk to customers who are still using the mattress pad they bought 20 years ago. The zigzag stitching provides superior durability and the no-nonsense flat design allows it to be easily held in place by the sheets.

At Soaring Heart Natural Bed Company, we have the best 100% Cotton Mattress Pads for you to choose from. Visit our product page or call us today at 202-282-1717 or 877-288-1717!
