The Hippychick Mattress Protectors are high quality, discreet and 100 per cent waterproof and they have to be seen and touched to be believed. Feeling the soft cotton it is difficult to see how something that feels so good can be so practical. They take a much needed, but also much maligned, product and transforms it into a comfortable, soft, undetectable piece of bedding. They are soft, breathable, absorbent and waterproof - a good natural alternative to sweaty plastic under sheets. The undetectable layer of polyurethane makes these protectors 100 per cent waterproof without the awful feeling of lying on or being sandwiched between a crisp packet Gone are the sweaty, rustling plastic sheets that so many parents and children dread and in their place is a soft, breathable protector made from pure brushed cotton. Importantly, the discreet, undetectable layer of polyurethane that makes the protectors 100 per cent waterproof also acts as an anti-allergy barrier. It protects against dust mites, a major cause of two increasingly common childhood conditions - asthma and hay fever. On top of all these special features the Hippychick Mattress Protector range is endorsed by ERIC, the childhood continence charity.
