A zippered mattress cover fully encases your mattress or mattress layers, protecting it while also holding all components together. Necessary for all DIY mattress projects in order to prevent components from sliding around.
Unlike standard mattress protectors, these covers:
Enclose the entire mattress,
Provide structural integrity,
Allow easy access with a zipper
These are essential for DIY mattresses and latex mattress builds.
Why Use a Latex Mattress Cover?
Latex mattresses and layers require a high-quality encasement to perform properly.
Benefits include:
✔ Keeps layers aligned
✔ Protects against wear and dust
✔ Improves overall mattress feel
✔ Extends lifespan
Latex is naturally durable and breathable, and pairing it with the right cover enhances those benefits.

Bamboo Replacement Mattress Cover
This cover comes with a stretch knit bamboo fabric quilted to over an inch of all natural New Zealand Joma Wool. Wool helps wick away moisture and is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Works best on a latex mattress but also on memory foam, waterbeds and air beds and spring based mattresses. The zipper is the strongest in its class made with Teflon and zips around all four corners making it easy to assemble. If you have 8" of materials to go inside the cover then you will order an 8" cover. The finished height will be about an inch higher because of the quilting. These covers come in all conventional sizes and heights of 6", 8", 9", 10", 11", 12", etc.
Organic Cotton Replacement Mattress Cover
Features are the same as above but with organic cotton fabric and quilted to modified Rayon from wood pulp which acts as the fire barrier. It's a thinner look and feel and is Vegan friendly and puts you closer to the latex or foam. Even the quilt backing is made with organic cotton making this the perfect choice for a more natural replacement mattress cover.
All our mattress covers are guaranteed to be first quality and free of manufacturing defects however we do not offer a warranty on these items because we cannot control the environment in which they are used. Improper use can cause the zippers to break so use common sense, never force the zipper but rather compress the foam to allow an easy zip on. These covers are built to last for 20+ years and hand made so please allow 1-2 weeks for production lead time. This item is NOT machine washable as it could shrink. Spot clean only and air dry!
