SafeRest Fit Pockets vs. Waterproof Queen Protector: Tested Hygiene Benefit… Spring Sleep Showdown Our recent test in the SafeRest 100% Waterproof Queen Size Mattress Protector revealed a surprising edge: the stretchable pockets deliver a hygienic advantage. While the waterproof barrier keeps spills at bay, the adjustable pockets are a game-changer. We layered cotton sheets directly onto the pockets, verifying that mattress shifts during sleep won’t cause bunching or discomfort. The machine-washable design remains a standout, ensuring longevity, but it’s the pockets that set this protector apart. Unlike traditional fitted covers, ours stay secure without slipping, enhancing airflow and maintaining a fresh feel. Though we expected a solid hygienic performance, the pockets added unexpected comfort. In our comparison, this model earns top marks for practicality, especially for couples seeking a balance between protection and ease of use. The SafeRest protector satisfies both needs.
