Mattress Protector Sizes: A Complete Guide for Shoppers

At Mattress To Door, we want to ensure you invest in the right mattress protector size for your bed. This complete guide covers everything you need to know about sizing a mattress protector in Canada.

Introduction

A mattress protector is an essential investment to shield your mattress from spills, stains, dust mites, and other damage. Getting the right size mattress protector is crucial for maximum protection and comfort. An ill-fitting protector can lead to exposed mattress edges or uncomfortable bunching.

That’s why at Mattress To Door, we are dedicated to helping Canadian shoppers find the perfect mattress protector size. With retail locations across the country and free shipping, getting the right protector for your mattress has never been easier. Our expert staff can guide you through sizing and material options to meet your needs.

In this complete guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about mattress protector sizes in Canada. You’ll learn how to accurately measure your mattress, find the right protector size, and get advice from our seasoned mattress experts. Read on to ensure your mattress stays pristine and protected with a properly-sized mattress protector.

Mattress Protector Size Chart

Choosing the right mattress protector starts with understanding the six standard mattress sizes. Here is a handy mattress protector size chart covering dimensions for all the common mattress types:

This size chart provides the length, width, and recommended sleeper size for each mattress type. Make note of your specific mattress dimensions to ensure you get an accurately sized protector.

The most popular mattress sizes in Canada are:

Queen — Ideal for single adults and couples. Provides ample room to stretch out.

King — Made for couples who like extra spaciousness for sleeping.

Twin/Twin XL — Great for kids and teens. Twin XL suits tall teenagers.

Now that you know the basic mattress protector dimensions, let’s go over how to accurately measure your bed.

How to Measure Your Mattress

Taking precise measurements of your mattress ensures you order the right protector size. Follow these steps:

Use a soft measuring tape and lay it across the longest length of the mattress. Note the measurement in inches.

Next, measure the width of the mattress from edge to edge in inches.

Finally, measure the mattress depth. This is especially important for extra thick pillowtop or euro style mattresses.

Record all the length, width, and depth figures. Compare them to a mattress size chart.

For added accuracy, repeat the measurements a second time.

Other tips for measuring mattress size:

Include any thick mattress topper or pad in your measurement if you plan to keep using it.

For platform beds, measure inside the wooden frame as the protector fits inside.

Round your measurement to the nearest whole inch.

If in between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size protector.

Accurately measuring your mattress avoids issues like gapping, slipping, and poor fitting you can get with an incorrectly sized protector.

Let’s look at some examples of taking mattress measurements:

Example 1

Length: 76 inches

Width: 82 inches

Height: 12 inches without topper

This mattress would best fit a king size mattress protector. The 2 extra inches in width still allows a good fit. And the protector depth fits the 12 inch height.

Example 2

Length: 35 inches

Width: 75 inches

Height: 8 inches

These dimensions indicate a twin size mattress. The shorter length means a twin XL or larger protector would be too big.

Example 3

Length: 60 inches

Width: 70 inches

Height: 18 inches with 3 inch topper

This measures closest to a queen size mattress. The width is slightly shorter but a queen protector will still fit. And the total height of 18 inches needs a deep pocket protector.

Next, let’s go over how to use your mattress dimensions to find just the right protector size.

Finding the Right Mattress Protector Size

With your precise mattress measurements in hand, use the following tips to determine the ideal mattress protector size:

Compare your mattress length, width, and height figures to standard sizes on a mattress chart. This gives a starting point.

Look for a protector that matches your mattress length and width as closely as possible. Being 1–2 inches under is okay.

For depth, find a protector designed for your mattress thickness or slightly larger. Protectors are elasticized and allow some leeway in depth.

Order the next size up if you are between standard mattress sizes. Oversized is better than undersized.

View mattress protector size charts from manufacturers to pick the recommended size for your bed.

The protector you choose should fit like a fitted sheet — nice and snug but not tight or baggy. With millions of combinations of mattress sizes and protector sizes, knowing your exact mattress dimensions takes the guesswork out.

At Mattress To Door, our mattress protector sizes range from twin to California king so you can always get an exact match. And we’ll help determine sizing if you have any uncertainties.

I think cis people should also be their gender of choice. Like, if you're a man, you should get to really enjoy being a man- have fun with it! If you're a woman, take the parts of womanhood that really deeply make you happy. If being a little androgynous or ambiguous or hidden is the part that really makes you happy, you don't have to be trans for that. If you wanna lean really hard into being femme or masc- do it! You have one life in your body, do what makes you happy. Ditch the stuff you don't like.

My sinister queer agenda is I think that everyone should be the gender they like in the way they like it.

How Often Should You Wash Your Bed Sheets?

Do you wash your sheets as often as you should? Many of us are guilty of not washing our bed sheets frequently enough. We tend to focus on more visible household items that obviously need cleaning. But letting your sheets go too long between washes can lead to a buildup of germs, dead skin cells, body oils, and other yuckiness.

So how often should you wash your bed sheets to keep them fresh, clean, and hygienic? We’ll cover the expert recommendations and reasons it’s vital to wash sheets regularly. Read on to learn the signs it’s time for a wash, top laundry tips, and how Mattress To Door’s quality bed sheets like the Printed Bed Sheet MTDBS01 can enhance your sleep experience.

Most experts agree you should wash sheets at least once a week. Here are the top recommendations on how often to wash bed sheets:

Weekly — Washing sheets every 7 days helps remove accumulated dead skin cells, body oils, and dust mites. It keeps your bed hygienic and sheets feeling fresh.

Every 1–2 weeks — For those without allergies or pets, every 1 to 2 weeks is generally fine. You may be able to stretch a bit longer between sheet washes.

Other factors — Wash sheets more frequently if you have pets that sleep in your bed. Those with dust allergies or asthma should also wash more regularly.

“Experts recommend washing your bed sheets at least once per week for optimal cleanliness and health.”

The Case for Weekly

Washing bed sheets every 7 days has its benefits. Here’s why it’s a good idea to wash your sheets once a week:

Removes dead skin cells — We shed millions of skin cells per day. These collect in sheets and provide food for dust mites.

Eliminates body oils and sweat — Our bodies continuously produce oils and sweat that transfer to sheets.

Reduces dust mites — Dust mites feed on skin cells and thrive in warm, humid environments like beds.

Smells fresh — Weekly washes make sheets smell clean and deter bed bugs or other pests.

Prevents staining — Frequent washing helps avoid buildup of body oils and dirt that can lead to yellow stains.

Kills germs — Hot water washes eliminate bacteria that accumulate from everyday use.

Every 1–2 Weeks: A Reasonable Minimum

For those without allergies or pets, washing bed sheets and bedding every 1 to 2 weeks is generally sufficient to keep them fresh and avoid an overgrowth of dust mites or bacteria.

Some reasons you may be able to stretch a bit longer between laundering sheets:

Don’t sweat excessively at night.

Don’t eat or drink in bed.

Use a mattress protector.

Have a high-quality mattress like those offered by Mattress To Door that doesn’t absorb as much dead skin and oils.

But note that sheets should be washed sooner if they become visibly dirty or smelly. Yearly or only occasional washing risks serious buildup of allergens, microbes, and dust.

Beyond the “ick” factor, what’s the real harm in not washing your bed sheets often enough? Here are some top reasons it’s important to wash sheets regularly:

Hygiene

Infrequent washing allows dead skin cells, body oils, sweat, and germs to build up. This creates an unhygienic sleeping environment that can cause:

Bad odors

Allergy symptoms

Acne breakouts

Illnesses

Frequent hot water washes kill bacteria and keep sheets smelling clean.

Health Benefits

Studies show regularly washing sheets:

Reduces asthma symptoms

Lessens allergic reactions to dust mites

Prevents skin irritation for those with eczema or sensitive skin

This is especially critical for those with dust allergies. Hot water washes destroy dust mite allergens that can trigger reactions.

Extend Sheet Lifespan

Laundering bed sheets regularly:

Preserves elasticity of fitted sheets

Prevents stains from body oils and dirt buildup

Follows fabric care instructions to reduce wear

Uses stain removers to treat problem areas quickly

Letting sheets go too long between washes shortens their lifespan from excess dirt, stains, and stress on fibers.

As you can see, it’s about more than just a fresh smell or appearance. Regularly washing bed sheets has major hygiene, health, and practical benefits that shouldn’t be underestimated. Most experts suggest a weekly wash routine for optimal results.

Next, let’s look at some signals it’s definitely time to strip the sheets and cues that a wash cycle is overdue.

When Do You Know It’s Time to Wash Your Sheets?

You don’t need a calendar reminder to know when your sheets are begging for a spin cycle. Here are some clear signs it’s time to wash your bed sheets:

Visible stains — Food, drinks, makeup, or other spills create stains.

Dirt buildup — Sweat and body oil cause dingy spots.

Sheets feel rough/stiff — Lack of washing makes cotton feel rough.

Increased sneezing — Dust mite allergens trigger sneezes.

Pet slept in bed — Dander and hair accumulates quickly.

You eat/drink in bed — Crumbs and spills transfer to sheets.

Pay attention to these clues your linens need freshening up. Don’t let your bedding get greasy, grimy, or full of allergens.

When to Wash Different Types of Bedding

Sheets — Wash weekly, or every 1–2 weeks minimum.

Pillowcases — Wash weekly along with your sheets.

Comforter — Wash 2–3 times per year, or when visibly dirty.

Duvet cover — Wash every 1–2 weeks with sheets.

Mattress pad — Wash every 1–2 months depending on use.

Blankets — Wash every couple months or when dirty.

Mattress — Vacuum and spot clean every 1–2 months.

Now let’s get into the nitty gritty of how to wash your sheets for maximum cleaning power:

Temperature — Use Hot Water

Hot water — 130°F or higher. Helps kill germs and allergens.

Warm water — 90–110°F. Gently lifts away most dirt.

Cold water — 68°F or lower. Saves energy but reduced cleaning.

For sheets, use the hottest water recommended for the fabric. This helps eliminate germs, allergens, and deeply embedded body oils.

Detergent

Regular laundry detergent — Use as directed on the package.

Add stain remover — For tough stains pretreat with stain fighters.

Avoid too much detergent — Excess suds can cling to fabric.

Stick to regular laundry detergent and spot treat stubborn stains. There’s no need for special woolite or gentle detergents for bed sheets.

Drying Your Washed Sheets

Tumble dry on low or medium — Helps minimize wrinkling of cotton sheets. Remove promptly.

Hang to air dry — Great for delicate synthetics and fabrics.

Dryer sheets — Add for extra static reduction and scent.

To reduce wrinkling, tumble dry sheets on low or medium heat. Remove them promptly from the dryer and fold or make your bed.

Cleaning Mattress and Other Bedding

Vacuum mattress — Use hose attachment to vacuum surface monthly.

Spot clean mattress — Use upholstery cleaner for stains or odors.

Wash pillowcases, blankets — Weekly for pillowcases, monthly for other items.

Rotate/flip mattress — Extends mattress life by evenly distributing wear.

Don’t neglect areas like your mattress and pillows! Vacuum and spot treat your mattress. Frequently wash pillowcases and blankets.
