A mattress protector is a removable layer that sits on top of a mattress to guard against spills, allergens, and wear, often providing additional comfort. In contrast, a mattress encasement completely encloses the mattress with a zippered cover, offering more comprehensive protection against bed bugs, allergens, and dust mites. While both serve to protect the mattress, encasements provide a more secure, all-around barrier.
