Why do I need a mattress protector?

A mattress protector is the best way to keep your mattress in good shape and ensure the Limited Lifetime Warranty stays active. It’s a big help in protecting your mattress from things like stains, spills and dust mites (gross), and it helps keep allergens and bacteria from settling into your sleep surface. We highly recommend using one with your Big Fig Mattress to keep it in mint condition for its full lifespan!

What’s The Difference Between A Mattress Protector And A Mattress Topper?

A mattress protector is thin, waterproof and designed to defend against stains, spills and allergens. Plus, it helps maintain your warranty. A mattress topper, on the other hand, is thicker and adds cushioning or changes the feel of your Big Fig Mattress. You can even use them together as part of your personal sleep system.

Will The Mattress Protector Cause Me To Sweat?

Nope, the Big Fig Mattress Protector features the same THERMOGEL COOLING® technology as our mattress, keeping you cool and comfy all night long. Unlike older waterproof designs, it’s made to breathe, so you won’t wake up in a sweat.

What Goes On First, The Mattress Protector Or Sheet?

The mattress protector goes on first, directly over your mattress (or mattress topper, if you’re using one). It acts as a barrier to protect against spills, stains, allergens and dust mites. Once the protector is securely in place, you’ll layer your fitted sheet on top, just as you normally would. This setup ensures your sleep surface stays clean and comfortable while extending the life of your mattress.

Will the mattress protector cause my sheets (or me) to slip off?

The Big Fig Mattress Protector is made to stay put. It mimics the top of our mattresses to blend seamlessly and hold tight. The only place you and your sheets will slip off to is dreamland.

Do I Need To Wash The Mattress Protector?

Yes, but not after every use. For minor spills or accidents, spot clean your mattress protector using mild detergent and cool water. For deeper cleans, follow the care label and avoid high heat—this can damage the waterproof layer.

How Often Should You Wash A Mattress Protector?

You should wash your mattress protector every two to four weeks. This helps remove sweat, dust and skin cells that can build up over time. If you have allergies, sleep with pets or live in a humid climate, consider washing it more frequently—about once a week. Always follow the care instructions on the label to maintain its protective qualities.

What’s The Return Policy For The Mattress Protector?

We do not accept returns on this product. However, if you experience a defect with your mattress protector, you can contact customer support for assistance: 1.888.344.6547 or Warranty@BigFigMattress.com

Can I Use A Mattress Protector With A Mattress Topper?

Yes, a mattress protector can cover your mattress topper to shield both layers from spills, allergens and dust mites. Just make sure the protector fits securely over the combined height of your mattress and topper.
