Sleep Number's Total Protection pad leans toward protection rather than plushness, which makes it a good fit for people who want a thin layer they can wash often. The surface is waterproof and stain protective and extends down the sides, it is treated to be antimicrobial, and Sleep Number says the cool-to-the-touch fabric lets heat and humidity escape while keeping moisture out. The skirt is designed to move with the brand's adjustable air beds, and sizes include FlexTop king and California king. Buyers of a new Sleep Number 360 smart bed who add the pad within five days get a 10-year limited warranty against almost any stain on the mattress. A twin cost $129.99 when we checked, and the page shows a 4.6 star rating from 20,520 reviews. Care is a little fussier than most: machine wash warm with a cold rinse, ideally in a large front-loading washer, and tumble dry low.
