Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. How often should I wash a mattress protector in a short-stay property?

In most short-stay accommodations — like Airbnbs, motels, or serviced apartments — it’s best practice to wash the mattress protector after every guest stay. This ensures a hygienic sleep surface and helps maintain your reputation for cleanliness.

That said, if you're using a high-quality fitted sheet set, and the protector shows no signs of stains or odours, some hosts choose to wash it every 2–3 stays (especially for shorter bookings) to reduce laundry volume. In these cases, we recommend:

• Spot-checking during each turnover

• Setting a routine full wash every 3–5 uses

• Always washing immediately if there are spills, visible marks, or high humidity

 

2. Can I tumble dry your mattress protectors?

Yes — all BNB Supplies mattress protectors are commercially launderable, including tumble drying. For best results, use a low to medium heat setting and avoid over-drying to maintain fabric performance.

 

3. How do I wash a mattress protector properly?

Machine wash on a warm or cold cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage waterproof linings or reduce breathability.

 

4. Do mattress protectors go over or under an electric blanket?

You can place your electric blanket either under or over your mattress protector, depending on how much direct heat you prefer.

However, it’s important to consider the breathability of your mattress protector. If the protector is too dense or non-breathable, it may trap heat, which can trigger the electric blanket’s overheat safety function and cause it to shut off.

For best results:

• Place the electric blanket under the mattress protector if you want to protect the blanket and reduce direct heat.

• Place it over the protector for faster warmth and direct contact — as long as it’s safe to do so according to the blanket’s instructions.

• Always ensure your protector is breathable and electric-blanket compatible.

When in doubt, check the care labels of both products or contact the manufacturer for guidance.

 

5. Do I need a mattress protector if I already use a mattress topper?

Yes — even if you use a mattress topper, a mattress protector is still highly recommended.

Toppers provide added comfort, but they’re often bulky and difficult to wash, especially between back-to-back guest checkouts. They can take a long time to dry, which isn’t practical for high-turnover short-stay properties.

That’s why it’s much easier to place a suitable, breathable mattress protector over the topper. This keeps both your topper and mattress clean, while maintaining comfort and saving laundry time.

If your topper is extra plush, choose a protector with a deep skirt and good stretch so it doesn't compress the loft or pull down at the corners.

Alternatively, if you simply want to protect the mattress — and don’t mind exposing the topper — you can use a thin waterproof mattress protector underneath the topper. Just make sure the topper itself is washable, since it will now be the top contact layer.

 

6. Are mattress protectors really necessary?

Yes — mattress protectors are a simple but essential way to protect one of the most valuable items in your guest rooms.

A quality mattress is a long-term investment, often expected to last up to 10 years. One spill, stain, or hygiene issue can shorten its lifespan — and in many cases, void the warranty.

Using a mattress protector helps:

• Shield against sweat, spills, and everyday wear

• Maintain hygiene between guest stays

• Reduce allergens and dust mite build-up

• Avoid costly deep cleaning or early replacement

For a minimal upfront cost, a mattress protector helps you protect a much larger investment — while also meeting guest expectations for cleanliness and care.
