As H&G's resident sleep writer, I work nights, taking the world's best bedding and putting it to the test from the comfort of my own home. I've tested sheets, shams, and mattress toppers but I've grown to love an unsung hero of the mattress world: the mattress protector.
The best mattress protectors act as a barrier between your bed and your body, safeguarding your mattress against sweat, spills, and stains, while working to keep you cool and dry. Often listed for less than $100, a mattress protector could solve your sleep problems without breaking the bank.
