One of the most common questions asked about mattress protectors is “Do mattress protectors make you sweat?” The answer is yes, cheap plastic-y ones do indeed make you sweat.

Do I need bed sheets when I use a mattress protector? The mattress protector is there for protection but you will still want to use a sheet on top of this when making the bed for your guests.

If two people sleep on the same bed and have different firmness preferences, a topper can be added to half of the mattress to, in effect, provide different firmness for each half.
