- Is this protector waterproof?
- No. It is a cotton sateen layer that guards against wear and light soil, not a waterproof barrier. Use a waterproof pad underneath if spills are a concern.
- Will it fit over a thick topper?
- It is cut to fit a topper rather than a deep mattress, so it works best on toppers of standard thickness. Measure your topper before ordering if it is unusually plush.
- How is sateen different from percale?
- Sateen has a smoother, slightly shiny hand and drapes more softly. Percale is crisper and more matte. Sateen feels silkier but can show creases more.
- Can it be machine washed and dried?
- Yes, it is washable cotton. Wash in cool or warm water and tumble dry low; line drying helps it last longer and reduces shrinkage.
- What does GOTS certification cover?
- GOTS certifies the cotton is organic from farming through processing, including social and environmental criteria. OEKO-TEX adds testing for harmful substances.
- Does it work on its own without a topper?
- It can, but it is sized for a topper and may not cover a full mattress depth. For a bare mattress, choose a standard mattress protector instead.
