Rank #7 in Best Mattress Protector 2026: 8 Ranked by How Honest the Listing Is
Yorkshire Bedding Waterproof Mattress Protector, Double
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Yorkshire Bedding waterproof mattress protector is a double-sized terry cover with a waterproof TPU backing, a 30cm deep elasticated mesh skirt and a £9.49 price. It sits at number seven in this guide, with 4.6 stars from 1,374 ratings; the rating breakdown runs 77% five-star and 15% four-star, with just four ratings at one or two stars. In a category where the honest number is whether the listing agrees with itself, this one does not — and that is what holds it at seven rather than higher.
The disagreement is over the fabric. Bullet two calls the sleeping surface 'soft cotton terry'. Bullet three, a few lines further down the same page, calls the same surface '100% Polyester terry'. The fabric field in the specification gives a third answer: '60% Polyester, 40% Cotton'. Only one of those three can be correct, and the listing never says which. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands — we have not tested this protector, washed it, or poured anything on it.
