Like all cotton products, your cover will shrink when washed and dried the first time. Don't worry. We have taken that into consideration and made our covers a bit bigger. They will not be too small after they have been washed. Natural Cream Color. Our organic cotton has not been dyed or processed, so the natural cotton pigments can cause color variations.
If your mattress is too heavy, we also make a "fitted-style" organic cotton mattress cover.
Also available in organic cotton are zipped pillow covers, comforter covers, featherbed covers, and sheet sets.
Easy Care Instructions: Machine wash in hot water up to 140°. Do not use chlorine bleach. Machine dry on medium setting. Special Note: The cover must be completely dry before putting it on mattresses or pillows.
Commonly asked questions about organic cotton mattress covers.
#1. How do I measure the depth of my mattress?
A tape measure or ruler is used to measure from the bottom, where it rests on the box spring, to the top of the mattress. If you have a pillowtop mattress or topper, a memory foam pad, or other mattress pad that you want to encase along with your mattress, include this in the total height measurement.

#2. Do I need to wash the mattress cover first?
No. You can but is not necessary. We do not treat any of our organic fabrics with any chemicals or antimicrobial coatings. Please note that we do not accept the return of washed bedding unless is defective.
#3. Do I need to clean my mattress before putting on the cover?
No. You can vacuum the mattress, but it is not necessary. If you choose to spray the mattress with anti-allergen spray or steam clean it, make sure it is completely dry before you put on the new cover.
#4. How often do I need to wash the cover?
We recommend that you wash the mattress cover once or twice a year. Pillow covers may be washed a bit more often (we wash ours about every 4-6 weeks). It is important that sheets and pillowcases be washed weekly.
#5. Does the cover need to fit tightly on the mattress?
No. It is best if the cover fits loosely. If it fits snugly, the mattress may feel stiff, and the seams and zippers will be stressed.
#6. I have a mattress pad. Should I put it on top of the cover or on top of the mattress and cover them both?
In most cases, we recommend covering both the pad and the mattress with the cover. This way, you don’t have to remember to wash the mattress pad.
How do you put a mattress cover on?- Remove the blankets and sheets.
- Slide the mattress down towards the foot of the bed and standard up, if you have a footboard slide it to the side and stand it up.
- Position the cover on the top side of the mattress and work it about halfway down the mattress.
