| Breeze (by Coolmax) 4 way Stretchable Memory Foam Cover is the best way to protect your investment.
"Feel the Breeze" Here is what a cover is supposed to do. 1. Keep the topper clean. If you lay bare foam on top of your existing mattress it will be immediately contaminated by dust mites, dead skin cells and debris.
2. Keep the topper from spreading, tearing and cracking. Memory Foam is durable but only if it's used properly. The peaks and valleys from the quilting of your mattress will cause fissures where the foam lays. Shifting from your back to your side causes friction which will eventually lead to stress cracks on the top surface of the foam. Everyday handling such as pulling and folding can damage the foam. The main culprit is long finger nails when you grab the foam to reposition it.
3. Keep moisture and body oils from reaching the memory foam. The single biggest enemy of memory foam is human body oils and moisture ie: sweat. Memory foam will rapidly break down once in contact with either oil or sweat. An average adult loses about 1/4 of a liter of body fluids each night. While some evaporates and some gets absorbed in the blankets, most gets soaked right into the sheets, mattress pad and the mattress itself where the body is in direct contact with the mattress.
Here are some pro's and cons of what is out on the market today.
Everyday mattress pad that you might currently be using on your mattress now.
Pros - Might keep the top surface clean - Will contain some of the body oils and sweat. Cons - Doesn't keep the bottom surface clean. - Does not keep the topper from spreading on the mattress which will result in splitting one day. - Sweat and body oils are retained in the pad resulting in a wet clammy environment which promotes more perspiration.
Covers Made with Sheet material
Pros - Will keep the foam from spreading. Cons - Will not contain and sweat or body oils. The main reason you want to stay away from this type of cover is that it will take away about 60% of the way the memory foam topper is supposed to feel because it will not allow you to feel the foam. The fabric will basically have a trampoline affect because it's not designed to stretch with the topper.
Terry Cloth Covers
Pros - Will keep the foam from spreading. Will contain almost all of the body oils and sweat Cons - 2 way stretch fabric. Inhibits some of the memory foam feel. The second drawback with this design is that it works just like a towel. Basically you will be sleeping in your own sweat. This promotes tossing and turning which is proven to disrupt deep restful sleep.
