About the Flaxby Quilted Pure Cotton Adjustable Mattress Protector
Last checked
The Flaxby Quilted Pure Cotton Adjustable Mattress Protector is built as a cotton-quilted pad with extra-deep corner straps rather than a fitted, zipped cover. This is a pad, not an encasement. The spec is stronger than a basic polycotton protector: a 233-thread-count pure cotton cover over 300gsm cotton-blend filling is generous for this type of strap-secured protector, especially against supermarket-level polyester pads, but the practical protection is still absorbency, comfort and washability rather than waterproof sealing. The quilted fill adds a small comfort layer and a little cushioning, though it should not be read as a topper-level change to mattress feel; the low-scoring feedback that calls it thin or firm is a reminder that 300gsm quilting softens the surface more than it transforms it. The adjustable straps suit mattresses up to 42cm deep, which is useful for modern pillowtops and deeper pocket-sprung models, and the manufacturer’s warning about first-wash shrinkage is honest rather than a flaw being hidden. Machine washing at 40°C and a one-year guarantee put it in the practical everyday-protector camp, while the antibacterial treatment is best understood as a hygiene aid between washes, not a replacement for regular laundering.
Buyers protecting a deeper new mattress are the clearest audience here, particularly where the aim is a cooler, quieter layer than a synthetic waterproof protector. Positive reviews repeatedly describe a secure fit, no shifting during the night and little to no rustling, and that lines up with the cotton-quilted construction: without a plastic membrane, it is less prone to the crinkly sound and heat build-up common in waterproof protectors. The strongest fit is everyday mattress protection. A recurring complaint is that the feel can disappoint anyone expecting noticeable plushness, with several lower-rated reviews describing it as stiff, uncomfortable or too flimsy for the price; that is where the “quilted for additional comfort” wording needs scaling back to a modest surface-softening claim. One detailed account also expected protection against bed bugs, but the open-sided strap format cannot do the job of a fully zipped encasement, so the product name should not be read as whole-mattress shielding. For couples, the reported lack of rustle is a useful plus, and the 42cm strap depth gives it a better chance of staying put on taller mattresses than shallow fitted-skirt protectors. If the priority is breathable cotton protection with a stable fit on a deep mattress, this works. If the priority is spill resistance, allergy-grade enclosure or bed-bug defence, a waterproof fitted protector or fully encased zipped cover makes more sense.

The mattress protector is robust, comfortable, and stays securely in place throughout the night. It fits well, doesnt shift around, and importantly doesnt make any scrunching or rustling noises. Very pleased with it.
Ordinarily, we would have just gone for the cheaper mattress protector however as we were spending money on a new mattress and bed frame any way, made sense to put a bit more thought into protecting the nice new mattress we had bought. The sales person (thank you Jo in Maidstone) brought us the options to review which mattress protector and we were both surprised how much softer this one was compared to the poly synthetic material one. Fitted nicely on the new mattress and hasn't caused any extra heat coming up from it.
The team turned up on time and were amicable and professional.
Soft and does the job. No complaints, protects fine.
Excellent mattress protector made from 100% Egyptian cotton. Each corner has an adjustable elasticated strap to ensure the protector stays in place.
Decently priced for the protection it offers. Easy to put on and stays in place.
Good Cover for the Mattress, but i was expecting hold around the mattress rather than elastics hence 4 stars, but i have to say the elastics on each corner are wide and hold the mattress in place.
Good quality and comfortable, protects the mattress very well.
Great looking protector, thicker and fits better than previous protector and doesn't move
Very comfortable indeed - sleeping like a log again!
The mattress protectors are very comfortable and soft and do their job perfectly.
Very good quaility, soft to the touch and very comfortable.
Perfect protection against daily use, adding that extra layer of confidence and protection for your mattress.
Well advised by store staff. Very comfortable mattress. Good service by delivery staff
Nice mattress protector, good size, covers the bed
When we wake up the desire is to wake up without the pain of the previous day's activities. Having tested the mattress in the store we purchased it believing that it would deliver. We are not disappointed. This is a superb mattress. My best friends came to stay last weekend and J has serious back problems. The next morning she told us that she had the best nights sleep in a very long time.
Super nice and breathable, can feel the quality difference
The mattress protector is strong for the liquids to go through.
Great item as expected in multi purchase from Dreams
Lovely quality protector with adjustable corner straps to hold it in place.
