Defining different types of mattress pads
Confused about the different types of mattress pad in the market? Here’s a brief definition:
| Guaranteed to fit (GTF) | A fitted skirt made from a stretchy fabric like spandex or a knit designed to fit a specific depth mattress. |
| Wrap pad | This type extends over the edge and down the sides of the mattress. A thin elastic thread is attached to hold pad in place. |
| Extra deep | Designed with Lycra® or spandex to fit securely over the deepest mattress. |
| Fitted pad | Covers the top and sides of a mattress, resembling a fitted sheet with an elastic skirt. And a quilted top for added comfort. |
| Anchor pad | Covering only the top of the mattress, this mattress pad has an elastic band in each corner, making it the least secure and usually the least expensive. |
| Pillow-top pad | Adds a pillow-top feel to a regular mattress. And it can also rejuvenate an older mattress. |
