About the iGel Perfect Partner Mattress Protector
Last checked
A household protecting a new iGel mattress is the obvious target here, because the Perfect Partner is a mattress protector rather than a comfort layer, topper or support product. Its job is barrier protection, not cushioning. The useful distinction is that a cooling-branded waterproof protector asks two materials to do slightly opposing things: the surface is expected to feel fresh, while the backing has to stop liquid passing through, and that barrier sits in a different class from a plain quilted cotton protector that can breathe more freely. For this category, that is the central compromise: waterproofing is a practical feature, especially on a new mattress, but it often brings more heat retention and more surface movement than non-waterproof bedding. The customer descriptions also suggest a relatively smooth, protective top rather than a thick padded one, because several comments focus on fit, protection and the feel of the backing rather than plushness. One longer positive experience describes a cooler sensation on getting into bed and less night-time overheating, so the cooling idea is not empty for every bedroom; equally, a protector with a membrane will never behave like an unbacked quilted layer, however temperature-focused the branding sounds.
Families and new-mattress buyers wanting waterproof insurance are the most natural audience. Praise clusters around neat fit, straightforward protection and, in the better experiences, a cooler first feel that helps with disturbed sleep from getting too warm; that positive cooling feedback matches the iGel positioning, but it is not the dominant experience at the bottom end of the ratings. Heat is where the promise breaks down: the repeat failures are sweating, warmth being reflected back, a plastic feel underneath and crackling noise during movement, with sheets also described as sliding around on the surface. Noise can be reduced by placing a normal quilted protector above it, as one experienced buyer found, but that adds another layer between sleeper and mattress and weakens the argument for a premium cooling protector. Drying time after washing is another practical niggle, though that is common with waterproof bedding. It lands well for spill protection on a newer mattress where waterproofing matters more than maximum airflow; hot sleepers, light sleepers disturbed by rustle and anyone mainly trying to cool down the bed are better matched with a non-waterproof quilted cotton protector, or a higher-tier water-resistant cover if liquid protection is still needed.

Excellent mattress
Great product
Good product
Very good product keeps you cool to
So far it has been very comfortable. It fitted the mattress perfectly. We have not washed it yet so we will have to see how it is after a year or so.
I find the sheet on top slips a bit
Really nice.
Too slippy lacks grip so I slide around the bed x
The best and quality products ever bought
A bit plastic
The mattress protector is good quality and very comfortable to lie on.
Covers the mattress well and sheets do not slide away. Good product.
Feels a bit rubbery to the touch
Excellent products and value for money
I have never had a mattress protector fit so well. It was easy to put on and take off foe washing Comfortable and does what it says on the tin !!!!!! As they say
OK but expensive for what it is. I think I will search the internet for a different one as a back up.
Excellent and efficient ordering and delivery. Will certainly use Benson's for Beds again if the need arises.
We did have a wee spillage on our sheets and the mattress protector did a great job. Nothing went through onto the mattress. Excellent!
Fits well and stays tucked in.
Very pleased. Excellent product.
