Mattress protectors are essential for safeguarding your bed from spills and stains, but the crinkling noise of the waterproof thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) backing in cheap models can be off-putting. If you’re someone who has searched far and wide for a noiseless mattress protector with no luck, I recommend the Purple Waterproof Protector, now up to 20% off at Purple, which brings the price of a twin size down from $119 to $95.
Thanks to its superior performance in our multiple spill and dry tests, it was recently named best waterproof mattress protector in our guide. What caught my attention the most during the testing period was that it’s completely noiseless; it’s almost as if it’s an invisible barrier, working silently to protect your bed and help it stay fresh and clean for longer.
Granted, it is one of the most expensive protectors we have tested, but right now, you get 20% off in the Labor Day mattress sales. And, the 10-year warranty and 30-day return policy definitely help sweeten the deal. So, let’s check out the specs…
Need something more cooling? Try this instead…
While the Purple mattress protector didn’t cause me to overheat (I’d say it was temperature neutral), it doesn’t have any specific cooling credentials.
So if you’re a hot sleeper, I’d advise investing in a model like the Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector, tested and approved by Tom’s Guide senior sleep writer Frances Daniels, who found it to be consistently cooling and cool-to-touch.
The high-tech PE fibers used in it (which are more commonly known by the name GlacioTex) are also hypoallergenic, which means this Brooklyn Bedding protector is adept at keeping away bacteria, dust and bed bugs.
While it may not be as thin and lightweight as the Purple Waterproof protector, we found it to be silent regardless of how much we moved around in bed. One drawback is that we noticed it can be somewhat slippery under sheets due to the silkiness of the material.
