Protect-A-Bed started in the 1980s in South Africa. Now situated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the company is represented in 27 countries. Their goal was to create a mattress protector that was 100% waterproof, machine washable and dryer-friendly, breathable, and free of allergens. They succeeded, and became the creators of the world’s first ultra-thin mattress cover, made of natural cotton Terry toweling with a polyurethane backing called Miracle Membrane. Protect-A-Bed’s most widely acclaimed achievement in recent years is their award-winning Aller-Zip technology, which encloses the mattress, pillows, and box-spring of a bed to protect against bed bugs and dust mites. They’ve also produced a Crib Protector to protect infants from harmful allergens and dust mites, as well as a full line of Pillow Protectors. Protect-A-Bed’s products are classified as class 1 medical devices by Health Canada and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in the US.
