To protect your mattress. One of the great things about mattress pads is they are washable. You can't wash a mattress, and vacuuming will NOT clean up those dust mites that love to live in bedding. Mattress pads can also add just a touch more cush to the mattress.
Hi, A mattress pad helps to protect your mattress from stains and body fluids. You lose a litre of water from your skin each night and millions of particles of skin. A mattress pad helps keep this from your mattress and cuts down on dust mite population as a mattress pad is easy to wash. http://www.bestratedmattresses.com/fitted-water-pr... Hope this helps.
They add a bit of 'fluff' and softness to the bed.
You can also wash the mattress pads easily, removing stains, sweat, BO, or whatever else might get on your bedding. You can't just pop a mattress into the washer! Lol.
