(Australia-NewsWire.Com, September 17, 2014 ) Melbourne, Victoria -- Even a potty trained child has an accident now and then during the night. Those babies who are still in nappies can have occasional unintended nappy leaks, which then soak into the mattress. Add to that a bit of spilled milk or formula, occasional dribble or throw-up episode, and the mattress would quickly become a breading heaven for all sort of nasty germs, molds and fungus.
No mother would want her precious baby to sleep on a dirty mattress, and so all sorts of Crib Mattress Protector are being used, to cover the mattress and keep it clean. But not any old piece of plastic cover will do, when a baby is to have a good night rest. Plain plastic is slippery and it doesn't breathe at all, so the baby can be excessively hot and sweaty. Plastic sheet is also difficult to keep in place, and it can't be washed in a washing machine.
For those reasons, variety of mattress protectors were designed and are being marketed. The best kinds are non-slippery, non-sticky, they have a comfortable upper surface, which allows a bit of air to enter under the baby and to take away the moisture.
Most importantly, a good mattress protector should be well fitted over the mattress, so that is easy to slip on and it holds firmly in place throughout the night. It should also be machine washable.
Since even the best mattress protector needs to be washed regularly, sometimes daily, most mothers purchase two or more of them, so that they can be quickly changed after every "accident". Everything, including the baby can be kept clean, and a spare protector is always at hand. The nasty germs go into the wash basket and into the next wash.
Mothers with babies who suffer from extensive bed-wetting usually keep a stack of mattress protectors, since they might have to change them daily, but don't want to wash them daily.
This is the main reason, why Quirky Sales have now introduced a "Two-Pack" of Crib Mattress Protector. It is of course cheaper to buy a two-pack then two single items. And in their one-stop online shop, Quirky Sales provide full description, dimensions and other important details of their "two-pack" mattress protectors. They of course also sell singles, but most of the mothers seem to go for a two at a time.
