You can certainly get a good night’s sleep without one, but having a mattress pad adds a little extra luxury to your bed. And isn’t that something we could all use?

Sferra recently gave us the lowdown on mattress pads:

• It offers extra cushioning, enhancing the overall comfort of the mattress. You experience the added softness of a mattress pad, while not taking away from the support of the mattress.
• It provides an added layer of warmth between the mattress and your body. In colder weather, or in well-air conditioned rooms, a mattress pad acts as insulation and helps keep you warm.
• It acts as a buffer between the sheets and the mattress, helping protect against stains. An unprotected mattress can become stained very easily, even from natural perspiration.
• It protects the integrity of the mattress, especially the stitching along the seams. A protected mattress will have a much longer useful life.

We couldn’t agree more, which is why we have a selection of mattress pads to satisfy the most discriminating sleeper. We love the Arcadia mattress pad from Sferra, which contains soft, hypoallergeneic Pluma-Fil down alternative. The pure white cotton sateen ticking is so pretty, you might be tempted to leave the sheets off.
