Mattress protectors

Cotton and wool crib-mattress protectors without plastic membranes or synthetic filling.

A cotton top can conceal a plastic waterproof layer. We exclude those constructions and distinguish absorbent cotton from water-resistant wool; neither is automatically waterproof. Use only a securely fitted protector allowed by the mattress maker, without extra padding or loose material on the sleep surface.

Ecobaby Organics Wool Moisture Pad WOOLUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: US-sourced wool adds a reusable, moisture-resistant layer for small leaks. The USA-made pad allows for about 5% shrinkage; cool delicate washing and air drying preserve the wool better than tumble drying, and it is not a fully waterproof barrier. Materials: wool $99.00 View product

Good Night Naturals Wool Moisture Barrier Pad — Crib WOOLUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Dense Melton wool creates a flat, water-resistant layer that protects the mattress from small spills. Made in the USA and oversized for initial shrinkage, this pad needs cold, delicate washing and flat drying to keep its shape. Materials: wool $125.00 View product

Heaven & Nature Organic Wool Crib Puddle Pad ORGANIC WOOL Why we recommend it: Needle-punched organic wool felt resists small spills, with four latex-rubber straps securing the 28 × 52-inch pad. Spot cleaning preserves the quarter-inch felt layer; heat can shrink it, and it should not be treated as a fully waterproof cover. Materials: organic wool · latex $80.00 View product

Home of Wool Wool Crib Mattress Protector WOOL Why we recommend it: Wool fabric absorbs moisture in a washable pad, while elastic straps keep it positioned beneath the sheet. Handmade in Bulgaria, it offers water resistance rather than a plastic waterproof membrane; follow the maker’s lanolizing guidance. Materials: wool From $99.00 View product

Kelly Green Wool Crib Mattress Protector and Puddle Pad WOOL Why we recommend it: Untreated virgin wool supplies the moisture-resistant layer in this washable crib-size pad. Sized for a 52 × 28-inch mattress, it uses wool’s absorbency and repellency rather than a waterproof plastic backing; choose the exact fit instead of folding it. Materials: wool $95.00 View product

MiteGuard Cotton Dust-Mite Cot Mattress Encasement COTTON Why we recommend it: Tightly woven cotton encloses the mattress, with an internal flap covering the zipper. Made in New Zealand, it is an allergen barrier rather than a waterproof pad; the maker reports testing the fabric, seams and zip against dust-mite and cat allergens. Materials: cotton From NZD $189.00 View product

MoeMoe New Zealand Wool Cot Mattress Protector COTTONWOOL Why we recommend it: New Zealand wool inside a cotton casing absorbs small amounts of moisture in this cot protector. Made in New Zealand in 60 × 120 cm and 70 × 130 cm sizes, it is an absorbent quilted layer, not a waterproof barrier. Materials: wool · cotton $160.00 View product

Obasan Organic Wool Crib Mattress Protector — 28 × 52 in ORGANIC WOOL Why we recommend it: This Canadian-made wool protector adds a moisture-resistant layer without a plastic waterproof membrane. The crib version lies flat without elastic straps; use it beneath a snug fitted sheet, as shown in Obasan’s setup instructions. Wool is not fully waterproof, so change wet bedding promptly. The photo shows the protector on a crib mattress; only the protector is included. Materials: organic wool $83.30 View product

Organic Bed & Baby EcoWool Mini-Crib Protector — 24 × 38 in WOOLUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Felted wool provides a moisture-resistant layer without a plastic membrane. It is not waterproof, so prompt cleanup still matters. Choose 24 × 38 inches and shape E for a rounded-corner mini-crib mattress; confirm that your mattress maker permits the pad and that it lies flat under a snug sheet. Gentle-wash and air-dry. Shown folded. Materials: untreated felted wool $139.00 View product

Organic Grace Natural Wool Crib Puddle Pad WOOLUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Pacific Northwest wool is felted in the USA into a reusable, water-resistant pad. The 28 × 52-inch crib size is made oversize to allow initial washing shrinkage; hang drying helps preserve the felt, which is not a waterproof membrane. Materials: wool $120.00 View product

Savvy Rest Natural Wool Crib Mattress Pad WOOLUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Densely woven wool provides a washable, moisture-resistant layer without a plastic waterproof membrane. This U.S.-made crib pad is flat and has no corner ties; it is not a cushioned mattress topper. Wool can slow small spills but will not make the mattress waterproof. Use only if the mattress maker permits a pad that fits flat beneath a snug fitted sheet, without changing the firm sleep surface. Materials: natural unbleached wool $69.00 View product

Shepherd's Dream Washable Wool Crib Mattress Protector, 30 × 54 in WOOL Why we recommend it: Dense, washable wool offers a simple alternative to a plastic-backed mattress cover. This flat protector has no elastic or padded filling; it resists small spills but is not waterproof. The label identifies U.S. or Canadian sourcing and manufacture. Use only if your crib-mattress maker permits a pad, fitted smoothly beneath the sheet without changing the mattress's firmness. Materials: melton wool $108.00 View product

Wendy Anne Wool Moisture Protection Pad — Crib WOOLUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: A thin, 1/8-inch layer of untreated wool resists small leaks and absorbs moisture rather than relying on vinyl backing. This USA-made 28 × 52-inch pad is hand-rinsed and dried flat; it is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Materials: wool $129.00 View product

Woolda Wool Water-Resistant Baby Mattress Protector WOOL Why we recommend it: Undyed virgin wool provides a washable, water-resistant layer rather than a plastic waterproof film. Choose the 60 × 120 cm or 70 × 140 cm size to match the mattress; lanolizing after washing can help maintain moisture repellency. Materials: wool $69.90 View product
