A mattress pad is designed to lie on top of a mattress.  It can have an elasticized skirt that is placed over and around a mattress, similar to a bottom fitted sheet. Or it can have anchor bands at the corners that keep it in place.

• Extra cushioning, so you experience the added softness of a pad while still enjoying the support of the mattress.
• An added layer of warmth between the mattress and your body (especially important in colder weather or in air-conditioned rooms).
• Acts as a buffer between the sheets and the mattress, to help protect against stains.
• Protects the mattress, especially the stitching along the seams.

For the ultimate luxury, we love Downright‘s White Goose Down Mattress Pads, which offer both comfort and warmth.

Or, if you are looking for an option without feathers, Sferra‘s Arcadia Hypoallergenic Down Alternative Mattress Pads use Pluma-Fil for that same soft, plush feel.
