Compliment your Memory Foam Mattress with a Tencel Mattress Cover


So you’ve now got your memory foam mattress and enjoying the extra comfort it gives and getting a great night sleep every night. You may now think that you’ve got the ultimate sleeping setup and that there is nothing else that you can buy to make your bed any comfier or more effective. There is one more addition that you can make to your bed though and that is by adding a Tencel Mattress Cover.

A Tencel mattress cover, also known as a topper, is placed over your memory foam mattress and has many benefits for your bed. Tencel fabric is made by extracting Eucalyptus wood pulp and it is 100% bio-degradable and 100% chemical and toxin free. . The wood is harvested from sustainable tree farms. The main benefit of this fabric is that it is very smooth and so is very soft to the touch, so is perfect for use as a mattress cover.

So apart from being nice and soft, what are the benefits of a Tencel mattress cover to your new memory foam mattress? There are many different benefits, some of which will help you get a good night sleep and others which will help to protect your foam mattress.

The fibres that make up the cover will not irritate your skin so you know you can have a comfy sleep all night. If you have sensitive skin, some fabrics like cotton and polyester can irate but the smooth fabrics of Tencel will not have this effect. If you get hot easily during the night and perspire a lot, then another benefit is that the Tencel Fabric is 50% more absorbent than cotton fabric so will cool you down as you sleep. This also helps to balance your body temperature since Tencel fabric breathes naturally and will help regulate your body temperature to ensure that you will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

No matter whether you have bought a cheap memory foam mattress or an expensive one, it’s a good idea to protect it and adding a Tencel mattress topper can help with this. The topper takes most of the wear of general every night use, such as perspiration, so this will reduce any possible damage done to your mattress. Another benefit is that because of the increased moisture absorption of the cover, you are protecting your mattress from bacteria. Bacteria require a warm and moist environment to grow but because the cover is bacteria resistant it is not present so you will be protected.

All of the Cosy Mattress memory foam mattresses can be purchased with a Tencel Mattress cover and also memory foam pillows so with Cosy Mattress, you can get a cosy night sleep all night, every night.
