One of the problems with all bedding that cannot be washed, like pillows and mattresses, is that they accumulate bacteria and parasites. The most common parasites are not bed bugs, which can cause a bad infestation, but dust mites. They are so small that we cannot see them, but after several years our pillows and mattresses can actually double in weight where that increase is from the accumulation of dead bug bodies.

what is the difference between Mattress covers and Mattress protectors?

When your mattress grows too old to use, the upcoming purchase can be daunting, and sometimes you may try to prolong its inevitable discarding. Using mattress toppers or a protector is good to use to prolong your mattress life, but not when it's nearing its end. If your old mattress is already showing signs of aging and reducing your sleep quality, a mattress topper won't work a miracle. However, a mattress topper is an excellent mattress accessory upgrade when installed on a new mattress or a while after purchase. You may have the best mattress, but if it has lost its capabilities over time, there's not much you can do except discard it.
