Birch Waterproof Mattress Protector - Composition
Birch is all about sustainability, clean and traceable products, and a construction made in the USA. Let’s take a look at the composition of the Birch Waterproof Mattress Protector:
Organic Fair Trade Certified Cotton
At the core of the Birch Waterproof Mattress Protector is its use of organic, Fair Trade certified cotton. This ensures that the cotton is grown without harmful chemicals and that the workers involved in its production are treated ethically.
The cotton is natural in color, free from unnatural dyes, and offers excellent moisture-wicking properties, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night. It makes up the upper and lower layers in the protector, with the breathable waterproof internal layer in the middle.
Breathable Waterproof Internal Layer
Sandwiched between the layers of organic cotton is a thin polyurethane-based waterproof film. This layer provides a complete barrier against liquids, protecting your mattress from spills, stains, and accidents. Despite its waterproof capabilities, the film is breathable, allowing air to circulate and prevent heat buildup.

Waterproof Abilities
The Birch Waterproof Mattress Protector is designed to be 100% waterproof, offering reliable protection against spills, stains, and accidents.
The thin polyurethane-based waterproof film effectively blocks liquids while maintaining breathability. This ensures that your mattress remains dry and hygienic without compromising on comfort.
We tested the waterproofing by spilling a cup of water on top of the protector. At the 5-minute mark, no water had penetrated.
How Does The Birch Waterproof Mattress Protector Feel?
One of the standout features of the Birch Waterproof Mattress Protector is its soft and quiet feel. Unlike some protectors that produce a crinkly noise or alter the feel of the mattress with a plasticky sensation, this protector maintains the natural comfort of your bed. We even find it to add a very thin layer of softness and plushness to the mattress.
The organic cotton surface is gentle and soft to the touch, and the thin waterproof layer is designed to be noiseless, ensuring an undisturbed sleep experience, which you neither feel nor hear.
Maintenance
Maintaining the Birch Waterproof Mattress Protector is straightforward:
Machine Washable: Wash your mattress protector separately in cold water on a gentle cycle.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat and do not iron. If not fully dry at the end of the cycle, line dry until completely dry before replacing on your mattress.
Spot Cleaning: Use water and mild detergent for spot cleaning if needed.
Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach as it can damage the waterproof layer.
We recommend regular washing every 2-3 months to maintain cleanliness and effectiveness.
