Best for: Hot sleepers wanting waterproofing without the heat
The cooling protector — a bamboo-rayon surface over a waterproof membrane, the pick for hot sleepers who found terry too warm.
PlushDeluxe attacks the protector's heat problem with a bamboo-rayon top layer that wicks and breathes better than cotton terry, over a quiet waterproof membrane. It's the fitted protector for people who want spill protection without sleeping warm — the cooling angle SafeRest's terry can't fully match. Fits deep mattresses, machine washable, genuinely soft. Bamboo rayon is slightly more delicate in the wash and it's pricier than the value terry picks.

How our 8.2/10 breaks down — rated on the dimensions that matter most for mattress protectors, from published specifications and third-party test data, not the marketing.
Quick verdicts for the mattress protectors most often considered alongside the PlushDeluxe Bamboo Mattress Protector.
The category standard — a cotton-terry surface over a real membrane that stays genuinely silent, backed by 180,000+ reviews at 4.7 stars.
→ Anyone who wants the safe, proven default — parents, incontinence needs, or anyone protecting a new mattress who cares first that the protector is silent and won't wake a light sleeper.
The comfort-first protector — wrapped in the same cool-touch Lulltra fabric as Coop's cult pillows, so it disappears under the sheets instead of announcing itself.
→ Hot sleepers and comfort obsessives — especially existing Coop pillow fans — who want a waterproof protector they genuinely can't feel or hear.
The SafeRest alternative — a cotton-terry protector with a deep pocket that gets you 90% of the category leader for a few dollars less.
→ Shoppers who want SafeRest's cotton-terry comfort and deep-pocket fit but would rather not pay the category-leader premium for the name.

PlushDeluxe's bamboo-rayon surface sleeps cooler than SafeRest's cotton terry — the pick if the terry protector made you warm. SafeRest counters with a deeper review base and a slightly lower price. Hot sleeper: PlushDeluxe. Proven default: SafeRest.
Both target cool, comfortable protection. Coop uses its cool-touch Lulltra fabric; PlushDeluxe uses bamboo rayon — both breathe well above terry. Coop feels a touch more premium; PlushDeluxe often costs less. Close call on feel and price.
Reasonably, but treat it gently — cold wash, low or air dry. Bamboo rayon dislikes hot dryers more than cotton terry does. Follow the care tag and it lasts.
No — it's a fitted top-and-sides protector, not a six-sided encasement. For bed-bug sealing you need an encasement like SureGuard or Hospitology. This is a cool spill-and-sweat protector.
