# Best Mattress Protector 2026: 8 Ranked by How Honest the Listing Is Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors Published: 2026-09-19 | Updated: 2026-09-19 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-19 The most useful number on a mattress protector listing is not the star rating. It is whether the page agrees with itself. Yorkshire Bedding calls its surface "soft cotton terry" and "100% Polyester" in the same bullet block, while the fabric field says "60% Polyester, 40% Cotton" — three answers on one page. Comfy Life sells a pack of 15 pads of 75 x 90 cm in the title, but the detail fields say "Unit Count 120" and dimensions of 75 x 75 cm. PlushDeluxe advertises "UK King Size" with a manufacturer part number of "B-Queen". Where the fields line up, you are usually looking at the safer buy. We ranked eight of the best mattress protector options on Amazon on three criteria we could actually check: whether the detail fields agree with the bullets, how many ratings sit behind the star score, and the fitted depth in centimetres. ## The ranking ### 1. BEDLORE Waterproof Double Mattress Protector - Price: £19.87 | Amazon rating: 4.8 from 3,842 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/bedlore-waterproof-double-mattress-protector - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FLPZCM3Z?tag=ranked10-21 Top of the list on 4.8 from 3,842 ratings, with 87% five-star votes and a mattress protector listing that agrees with itself. This sits first on the strength of one number: 4.8 out of 5 from 3,842 ratings, of which 87% are five-star and only five sit at two stars or below. Crucially, the detail fields match. The size field says Double, the display dimensions say 190 x 135 centimetres, and the unit count says 1. If you are shopping for a mattress protector double, the size is confirmed in three separate places rather than one. In practice, that means a brushed microfiber top over an upgraded TPU layer, with a stretch skirt rated for mattresses up to 40cm deep. It weighs 1.11 kg, the heaviest cover here, which is what a padded surface usually adds. Machine wash and tumble dry are both listed, and an OEKO-TEX certification is named in the highlights. That said, the fibre content is thin on detail. The material field says "Brushed Microfiber" and the bullets claim a noiseless, breathable surface, but there is no cotton or bamboo percentage to check against. If you want a natural-fibre top layer, this is not it. The colour field also lists grey only. Pros: 4.8 out of 5 from 3,842 ratings, with 87% five-star; Size, dimensions and unit count agree across the detail fields; Stretch skirt rated to 40cm, deeper than the 30cm skirts on several rivals; Machine washable and tumble dry friendly; OEKO-TEX named alongside the upgraded TPU layer Cons: 1.11 kg is the heaviest protector in this list; No cotton, bamboo or thread count given for the surface; Colour listed as grey only; Five ratings sit at two stars or below ### 2. Silentnight Waterproof Mattress Protector, Double - Price: £15.99 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 8,589 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/silentnight-waterproof-mattress-protector-double - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08FRKXJ9R?tag=ranked10-21 8,589 ratings at 4.6 and a 30cm skirt — the widest-reviewed name here, at a modest 550g. Silentnight carries the second-largest review base on this page: 8,589 ratings at 4.6, 73% of them five-star. Meanwhile the fitted skirt is listed at 30cm, so it sits happily on a standard double but not on a pillow-top. Its model number and manufacturer part number are both 533942GE, so those two fields agree. At 550g it is the lightest cover here, roughly half the weight of the BEDLORE. In theory that suits the soft-touch polyester surface and the rustle-free claim. It is machine washable, hypoallergenic and sold as a single pack. Worth noting, its Amazon rank sits under "Mattress Pads & Toppers" rather than "Mattress Protectors" — a category mismatch on its own page. The 30cm skirt is also the shallowest fit in this list. If you need a mattress protector for dust mites on a deep or pillow-top mattress, this one will not reach. Pros: 8,589 ratings at 4.6, the second-largest base here; 30cm fitted skirt suited to a standard double; Lightest cover in this list at 550g; Model and manufacturer part numbers both read 533942GE; Machine washable and hypoallergenic, sold as one pack Cons: 30cm depth is the shallowest fit on this page; Ranked under Mattress Pads & Toppers, not Mattress Protectors; Polyester is the only fabric information given; 27% of ratings sit below five stars ### 3. Caroline Shatuik Waterproof Double Mattress Protector - Price: £10.98 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 11,586 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/caroline-shatuik-mattress-protector-double - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09TTWKQ3X?tag=ranked10-21 Number one in Amazon's own Mattress Protectors ranking, on 11,586 ratings at 4.5 and £10.98. Two numbers stand out. It holds the number one spot in Amazon's Mattress Protectors ranking, 9th in Home & Kitchen overall, and it carries 11,586 ratings at 4.5 — the second-largest review base here. The price is £10.98. However, the detail fields do not line up neatly: "Unit Count" reads "12.99 gram" while "Number of Items" reads 1, and the display dimensions are 30 x 20 x 5.8 cm, which describes packaging rather than a bed. The part of the sheet that does make sense describes a poly cotton terry towel top with a 300 thread count, a 30cm extra-deep stretch skirt, and a 137 x 190 cm fit. It is OEKO-TEX certified and vinyl-free, and it weighs 510g. By contrast with the BEDLORE, the skirt here stops at 30cm, and no tumble-dry instruction is listed — only machine wash. Even so, if you want a terry towel surface with the review volume behind it, £10.98 is reasonable. Pros: Number one in Amazon's Mattress Protectors ranking; 11,586 ratings at 4.5, second-most on this page; £10.98 for a 137 x 190 cm fitted double; 300 thread count terry towel surface; OEKO-TEX certified and vinyl-free Cons: Unit count field reads 12.99 gram; Display dimensions describe packaging, not the cover; 30cm skirt only, no 40cm option; No tumble-dry instruction given ### 4. PlushDeluxe Bamboo Mattress Protector, King Size - Price: £27.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 36,204 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/plushdeluxe-bamboo-mattress-protector - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HC2WHS1?tag=ranked10-21 36,204 ratings — by far the biggest sample in this list — at 4.5, though the fabric percentages do not total 100. This is the most-reviewed cover on the page: 36,204 ratings at 4.5, 72% of them five-star. It is also the priciest fitted protector here at £27.99 and the heaviest at 1.44 kg. Meanwhile it carries the contradiction that opened this article: the title says "UK King Size" while the manufacturer part number says "B-Queen". The material field reads "60% Bamboo - 30% Polyester Bottom layer". That leaves 10% of the cover unaccounted for, which no other product here does. The rest is straightforward: a bamboo surface, a waterproof membrane, a noiseless claim, and a machine-wash instruction. It is sold as a single item. At the same time, £27.99 buys the least depth information on the page — no skirt depth in centimetres is stated anywhere. If a mattress protector king size is what you need, check the size mapping before ordering, because the part number points at a queen. Pros: 36,204 ratings at 4.5, the largest review base here; 72% of ratings are five-star; Bamboo surface with no PVC, phthalate or vinyl claimed; Machine washable, sold as a single cover; Fabric field names the bottom layer composition Cons: Fabric percentages total 90%, not 100%; Title says King Size, part number says B-Queen; No skirt depth stated in centimetres; Highest price of the fitted covers at £27.99 ### 5. ZNR Quilted Waterproof Mattress Protector, Super King - Price: £22.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 2,862 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/znr-quilted-waterproof-mattress-protector - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08W23MMLY?tag=ranked10-21 A 40cm skirt on a super king at £22.99, 4.5 from 2,862 ratings — but its part number is shared with another brand here. The headline figure is the 40cm skirt, the deepest fit offered alongside the BEDLORE and IMFAA covers. It has 2,862 ratings at 4.5, 72% of them five-star, and weighs 1.13 kg. The top is quilted with high-loft polyester fibrefill, and the listing promises a noiseless microfiber surface, protection from fluids, allergens and dust mites, and machine washing. An elastic band on the side skirt pulls the excess material under the mattress. Two details stand out for the wrong reason. Its age range field says "Child" on a super king cover, and its manufacturer part number is HU-XI-201 — the same string the Caroline Shatuik listing uses. Either way, it is the only super king here, so there is nothing else on this page to compare it against. Pros: 40cm deep elasticated skirt; 2,862 ratings at 4.5 with 72% five-star; Super king size at £22.99; Quilted polyester fibrefill top layer; Dust mite and allergen protection claimed Cons: Age range field says Child; Part number HU-XI-201 matches another brand's listing; No fabric composition percentages given; One size only, super king ### 6. IMFAA Quilted Waterproof Mattress Protector, Double - Price: £10.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 1,023 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/imfaa-quilted-waterproof-mattress-protector - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08K8Z6FPX?tag=ranked10-21 £10.99 for a 40cm skirt and a stated 180 thread count, on 1,023 ratings at 4.5. At £10.99 this is the cheapest fitted cover with a 40cm skirt on the page. It carries 1,023 ratings at 4.5, and it is unusually specific in one respect: a 180 thread count, where most rivals give none at all. The quilted mattress protector design here pairs a polyester top with a waterproof backing and a fully elasticated skirt for mattresses up to 40cm. The care instructions are stricter than most: machine wash at 40°C, do not tumble dry, do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean. The catch is review depth. 1,023 ratings is roughly a fifth of the Silentnight figure and a thirty-fifth of the PlushDeluxe one. It is also sold in white only, with no cotton content stated. If you dry your bedding in a tumble dryer, the care label rules this one out. Pros: 40cm deep stretch skirt for £10.99; 180 thread count stated, where rivals give none; Fully elasticated fitted skirt; Machine washable at 40°C; 4.5 from 1,023 ratings Cons: No tumble drying, bleaching or ironing; Smallest rated review base of the fitted covers here; White only; No cotton or natural fibre content given ### 7. Yorkshire Bedding Waterproof Mattress Protector, Double - Price: £9.49 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 1,374 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/yorkshire-bedding-waterproof-double - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D8VQB8L8?tag=ranked10-21 The cheapest fitted cover at £9.49, and the clearest case of a listing arguing with itself about its own fabric. At £9.49 this is the lowest price on the page. It scores 4.6 from 1,374 ratings, with 77% five-star — the highest five-star share of any fitted cover here. It is the listing quoted at the top of this article, and the problem is simple to state. One bullet calls the surface "soft cotton terry". Another bullet says "100% Polyester terry surface". The fabric field says "60% Polyester, 40% Cotton". The material field says "Polyester". Those are not four ways of saying the same thing; they are four different answers to one question. The rest of the sheet is coherent: a 30cm skirt that fits mattresses from 25cm to 30cm, 660g, machine washable, 137 x 190 cm. However, anyone who cares about fibre content has no way of knowing which line is right. If you need a stated cotton percentage, this listing will not give you one you can trust. Pros: Lowest price in this list at £9.49; 4.6 from 1,374 ratings, with 77% five-star; 30cm skirt fits mattresses from 25cm to 30cm; Double size given as 137 x 190 cm; Machine washable at 660g Cons: Bullets say cotton terry, then 100% polyester; Fabric field says 60% Polyester, 40% Cotton; Material field says polyester only; No tumble-dry instruction listed ### 8. Comfy Life Ultra Bed Mats, Pack of 15 - Price: £119.99 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 320 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-mattress-protectors/comfy-life-ultra-bed-mats - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09CXXTXLX?tag=ranked10-21 Not a fitted cover at all — disposable pads whose stated pack of 15 does not match a unit count of 120. This is the odd one out, and it earns last place on that basis. £119.99 buys a pack of 15 disposable bed pads rather than a fitted cover, which works out at roughly £8 per pad. The review base is the smallest here: 320 ratings at 4.6. At the same time, the listing contradicts itself in two places. The title and the first bullet say 75 x 90 cm; the item dimensions field says 75L x 75W centimetres. The title says a pack of 15; the unit count says "120.0 count". The product is honest about what it is: adhesive strips, a cloth-like back sheet, and a two-layer construction of polypropylene, polyester and natural fibres for incontinence, post-pregnancy and potty training. It is disposable, so it is used once and thrown away. If you want a cover you wash and reuse, this is not it, and it should not be judged against a fitted cover at all. Pros: 4.6 from 320 ratings; 75 x 90 cm pads, sized for adults; Adhesive strips hold the pad in place; Two-layer build: polypropylene, polyester and natural fibres; Clear care instructions: use once, then dispose Cons: £119.99 for 15 pads, roughly £8 each; Title says 75 x 90 cm, dimensions field says 75 x 75 cm; Title says pack of 15, unit count says 120; Disposable, so no machine washing and no reusable fitted fit ## Verdict For most homes, the Silentnight waterproof mattress protector at £15.99 is the sensible default: 8,589 ratings, a 30cm skirt and a price well under most of the field. If your mattress is deep or a pillow-top, the BEDLORE at £19.87 and the IMFAA at £10.99 both offer a 40cm skirt — the IMFAA is the cheaper route, the BEDLORE the better-reviewed. For a natural surface, the PlushDeluxe bamboo king size is the only one here, though it costs £27.99 and never states its skirt depth. And if you want a cheap deep fitted mattress protector to try first, the Yorkshire Bedding at £9.49 scores 4.6 — provided you can live with a listing that cannot tell you what it is made of.
