A children’s mattress protector is essential on your child’s bed and should be used from birth onwards. Children of course at a young age often have ‘accidents’, at a very early age they have little or no control of their bladder and will of course be wearing a nappy but even then accidental leakage can occur whilst they are moving about.
The mattress protector of course needs to be waterproof but it also needs to be comfortable in use. The last thing you need is for them to be waking up unnecessarily because they have become too hot or for the protector to wake them because it rustles and crinkles during the night. It also needs to be completely safe to use.
The Snugnights Allergon Children’s Mattress Protector is available in all sizes from a standard cot upwards. Its upper surface is a soft, absorbent terry towelling. On the back of this is a waterproof membrane that stops any fluids from passing through to the mattress. The great thing about the Allergon children’s mattress protector is that it is virtually unnoticeable in use, this is due to the special waterproof backing membrane that is soft and rustle free yet breathable. This means that body heat passes through it unlike PVC which traps body heat and can result in discomfort and sweating. It is completely safe to use for all children including new born babies.
The Allergon Children’s Mattress Protector also happens to be dust mite proof. Dust Mites live in all of our homes regardless of how clean they are. More dust mites are found in our mattresses than anywhere else in the home, this is because it is difficult to properly clean a mattress and it only takes a matter of months for the dust mites to move in. By using an Allergon Children’s Mattress Protector you are placing a barrier between the dust mites and your child, not only does this stop the dust mites and their waste products from reaching the child but it also cuts of their supply of food and moisture which they need to survive. Many children are allergic to the waste products of the dust mite and they are known to be connected with the onset of Asthma in children.
The Allergon Childrens Mattress Protector is machine washable and can be tumble dried. Some parents put two on the mattress at a time meaning that in the event of a nightime mishap the top one can be quickly removed leaving the lower in place. This means less disturbance to both the child and yourself as you only have to put a new clean sheet on top and the child can go back to sleep.
