As a Sleep Editor, I'd never sleep on my mattress without a protector, and how much money you spend on yours will usually determine the quality and how easy it is to wash and maintain.
That's why one that's effective and affordable is an absolute winner in my books. And, after testing the GRUSNARV Waterproof mattress protector, available at IKEA, for over 30 nights, I can safely say it ticks both of those boxes and passes with flying colors. Adding to that, it's only $25 in a Queen-size, so it's a real steal, too.
