 Cal King Mattress
Cover
Bed mattresses are heavy ticket items and as
such need to be protected from damage caused by staining,
fluid absorption, bed bugs and dust.
A Cal king mattress cover is an
additional type of bedding placed between a California king
mattress and the bed sheets to enhance comfort level as well
as the quality of sleep. Aside from preventing damage,
support and comfort is what mattress covers are all
about.
Cal King Mattress Covers -Choices Of
Material
A Cal King Mattress cover is different
from other mattress covers simply because of its size. It is
available in various kinds of materials that suit sleepers’
needs. Allergy-prone sleepers will find relief relaxing on
mattress covers made of natural fibers while those suffering
from back pains and soreness will experience a more restful
sleep with memory-foam padded mattress covers. Below are
several choices of California king mattress covers to pick
from, depending on one’s requirements:
-
Cotton mattress covers – this
material is hypo-allergenic and allows a sleeper to
“breath” easily. It is ideal for those sensitive to
synthetic fibers such as memory foam. These covers
are usually thin, quilted and are
low-maintenance.
-
Lambs wool mattress covers – this
type of cover provides a luxurious feel to the
mattress because of its softness. However, they do
not provide support to the back and may matt over
time. Cheap versions are thin and can wear off
easily. As these mattress covers are natural fibers,
they may spring back to life with a vapor steam
cleaner or laundered. Vapor steam cleaning is the
more preferred method.
-
Natural latex mattress covers –
these covers are usually made from rubber trees.
These are the covers that are more expensive but are
long-lasting. Some latex covers maybe manufactured
with a blend of synthetic fibers. They provide
support and do not harbor dust mites.
-
Alpaca mattress covers – are made
from the coat of llamas and provide a really soft
feel to the mattress. They may be blended with wool
for added thickness as alpaca tend to compress under
the body’s weight. This type of cover provides
insulation during the cooler winter days and adjusts
to the body’s temperature in the summer months.
These covers are resistant to mites and mold as they
tend to dry out easily.
-
Memory foam mattress covers – these
are lightweight covers that give additional padding
to the mattress. These covers tend to follow the
body’s contours and make the sleeper feel like he or
she is being cuddled to sleep. However, this feature
may also be a disadvantage as it can make one feel
warmer than normal. Another downside to memory foam
covers is the odor emanating from the material which
may not be tolerated by some consumers.
-
Synthetic down mattress covers –
just like lambswool or alpaca mattress covers, this
type of cover may matt down easily. For this reason,
it is not a common choice of mattress cover.
A wise consideration when purchasing a Cal
king mattress cover is to pick one perfect for the hotter
months of the year and another thick and insulated enough
for the winter months or one that’s effective any time of
the year. Either way, the chosen cover should be
hypo-allergenic and durable. Like all other beddings, a
third or fourth set of covers may be worth stocking to be
used as an alternative. This should ensure longer life to
these expensive Cal king
mattress covers.
