TPU vs Vinyl/PVC Mattress Protectors

TPU and vinyl/PVC are different polymer families. Shoppers often compare them because they want waterproofing without the feel or material profile of older vinyl covers.

TPU

TPU can be made as a thin, flexible film and is commonly laminated behind fabric-faced protectors.

Vinyl/PVC

Vinyl can be highly water resistant and inexpensive, but some shoppers avoid PVC because of material preferences or feel.

Sleep & Beyond

The company states that its organic cotton protector is free of vinyl/PVC and uses TPU instead.
