Loaf's Scottish-made construction means genuine attention to detail—this isn't a thin plastic barrier, but a soft, breathable cotton quilt that actually feels pleasant against skin. The quilted texture adds subtle visual interest while doing the practical work of protecting your mattress from spills and dust. It works equally well in guest rooms and master bedrooms, fitting standard double frames seamlessly. Worth noting: cotton requires occasional washing, but that's precisely what makes it genuinely breathable. If you've invested in quality bedding, this protector justifies itself.
