No. The TPU membrane is breathable - it blocks liquids but allows air and moisture vapor to pass through. Combined with the organic cotton jersey fabric, it regulates temperature rather than trapping heat. This is a significant difference from vinyl-backed protectors, which are not breathable.

The fitted skirt accommodates mattresses up to 15 inches deep, including pillow-top, memory foam, hybrid, and latex mattresses. Available in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King.

Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. The protector is designed to maintain its waterproof performance through repeated washings. We recommend washing every 1-2 months.

It's GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified, meaning the organic cotton is certified organic from raw fiber through finished product. It's also Made Safe certified, which independently verifies it's made without known toxic chemicals including PFAS, phthalates, flame retardants, and formaldehyde.

Yes. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a non-toxic, PFAS-free material used in medical and food-grade applications. Unlike PVC or vinyl, it produces no off-gassing and contains no chlorine, plasticizers, or heavy metals. It's the safest waterproofing technology available for bedding.

Most conventional protectors use vinyl or polyurethane coatings that trap heat, crinkle, and contain chemicals like PFAS or phthalates. Our protector uses a thin TPU membrane between layers of GOTS certified organic cotton - it's silent, breathable, non-toxic, and feels like a premium fitted sheet rather than a plastic barrier.
