The cover is the very first bit of your mattress you come into contact with, but it's often overlooked because it's hidden beneath your sheets. However, the cover of a mattress plays a bigger role in helping you achieve restful sleep than you may think. As a professional mattress tester who's slept on a wide range of materials, I’m here to explain why you should care what these covers are made from.
During a recent 3Z Brands factory tour in Arizona with the Tom's Guide sleep team I gained insight into the range of materials used for mattress covers, from polyblends and organic fibers to proprietary cooling fabrics designed to wick away heat and moisture. All of this year's best mattresses that we've tested use a cover that works in harmony with the comfort and support layers to provide restorative, comfortable sleep.
