The Icare Fully Enclosed Mattress Cover encases an entire mattress to shield it from spills, stains, dust mites, bed bugs and everyday wear. A full length zip closes the cover around all sides, so the mattress is protected underneath and around the edges rather than on the sleeping surface alone. The outer fabric is a premium Tencel knit with four way stretch, bonded to an ultra thin polyurethane membrane that stops liquid passing through while still allowing moisture vapour to escape, which keeps the bed protected without feeling hot or sounding crisp under the sheets. A 35 cm drop accommodates most mattress depths, and sizes run from Long Single at 203 x 90 cm through King Single at 203 x 103 cm and Double at 190 x 137 cm to Queen at 203 x 152 cm. The cover is machine washable and made for repeated laundering.

Full encasement is what separates this cover from an ordinary fitted protector, because the mattress is sealed on every side where hygiene is monitored or allergens are a concern. The Tencel surface and breathable membrane keep the bed pleasant to sleep on, and laundering it regularly is expected rather than exceptional, which suits shared and supported living arrangements.
