Bed protected!

This is not a paid or sponsored review / post, although I was sent the product in question at no cost to me, in order review it.

We – by which I mean the Grumpy One, yelling at me at random intervals to come and assist him whilst I was in the middle of something terribly important – completely stripped the bed the other day, vacuumed the mattress (he does like to vacuum things) and flipped it, hung various bits out on the line to air and remade the whole thing.

Starting with a Quilted Mattress Pad from Protect-A-Bed.

Now, they do claim to aid you in having a better night’s sleep. They have, unfortunately, not yet mastered the art of ensuring the toddler sleeps through, and the seven year old doesn’t wake up at some stupid pre-7am hour all chirpy and wanting a cuddle / to put his cold feet all over you. They also haven’t worked out how to prevent the loud snoring from next to you.

Hmmm, unless the suggestion regarding a pillow over the face to stop snoring permanently is just hard to find on their site ….

They do say that it will helpw ith a health, anti-allergy sleep, however, with all kinds of things like “dust mite barrier and allergy protection”, “cool and comfortable to sleep on” and those sorts of things.

It is also machine washable and tumble dry-able, easy to put on and off (gotta love a fitted sheet!). And it is comfortable.

And protect the bed? YES! It does. Well the mattress anyway, as we found out only a few nights ago, after a Toddler Vomit Episode. He started in the hallway, down the stairs, then had a go at his own cot sheets, promptly feel asleep on our bed whilst I tended to his, then vomited all over our bed – artfully missing the spare sheet and towel I had spread over what I thought was “all over our bed” but wasn’t.

Quickly removed said spewed on sheet, replaced towel, blinked and he’d up-chucked again on the … you guessed it!; Quilted mattress protector!

So I let him keep going on that till he’d had quite enough.

Mattress protected! Hurrah!

Washed, dried, replaced.

I have also discovered it is really good for protecting the mattress when:

• toddler feels a naked, post-bath dance on our bed is all the go
• when the school kids “put their bags away” by throwing it at the nearest thing (their bed or ours) where it lands upside down and the lid of their water bottle is not screwed on right
• when you’re sitting up in bed, writing product reviews on your laptop, with a glass of wine in one hand, and school-aged kids decide they need a cuddle, and are completely incapable of climbing into bed with you without bouncing and spilling your wine!

I also have one of these to give away!

Tell me, what does your bed need protecting from and you shall be in the running to get some protection! For your bed, anyway
