Some mattress warranties are voided if your mattress is soiled.Protection From AllergensSome mattress covers are made specifically to repel dust mites, spores and reduce allergens. This type covers the entire mattress, is somewhat more expensive and is a must-have for anyone suffering from allergies.Protection From FluidsTo prevent spills or accidents from damaging your mattress, protect your mattress with a cover specifically designed for fluids.
