The TEMPUR-Protect is the protector Tempur-Pedic makes for its own memory foam beds. Its polyester top uses the brand's patented ThermalSense fabric, which is meant to balance temperature, and it is backed by a thin waterproof polyurethane laminate with added stretch so it moves with the mattress. CertainFit mesh sides fit mattresses 8 to 16 inches deep, and the size range includes split king and split California king pieces for adjustable bases. A queen cost $169 on Tempur-Pedic's US store when we checked, with free shipping and a 10-year limited warranty. Two things keep it lower on this list. First, all sales are final, because Tempur-Pedic does not accept returns on this product. Second, its rating on Tempur-Pedic's own site was 3.6 out of 5 across 1,638 reviews, lower than most rivals report. Owners of other mattresses get similar protection for far less from SafeRest or Linenspa.
