My latest find! A Mattress Protector for Night Sweats!

Hi all, some of you may know that I (with the help of my wonderful father!) recently purchased a heavenly new Queen size, plush pillow-top mattress which I am in love with! I had been sleeping on an air mattress for a while now (Don't ask - long story!) and it kept deflating over time whereby I would wake up in the morning unable to move because of the PAIN all over my body! I have apparently developed Fibromyalgia in the last few months on top of Lyme (Going on 16 months now since I got sick) and I'm so sick of being in pain all the time. The air bed had to go. My father was generous enough to offer to buy me a new mattress (If interested, it's a Queen Size Sealy Posturepedic Plush Pillowtop that I bought at SleepTrain) and it was delivered a few days ago.

While we were at the store, they had these little jars of blue liquid on the counter which were covered with a white fabric on the top and fastened with a rubber band. I asked what they were, and the very nice saleslady (unlike the first sleazy sales guy who I couldn't stand!) told me that they were demos of a mattress protector and the blue liquid was Windex. She said I could turn the jar upside down and the Windex wouldn't come through. Sure enough, she was right! I found out that it's called a Premium Mattress Protector made by Protect-A-Bed.

Since I get the dreaded NIGHT SWEATS from time to time and especially when I'm herxing on a new antibiotic or medication (I will wake up and be drenched in my sheets - ughhh!) I thought this would be PERFECT to protect my dreamy new mattress! It's all fabric blend so don't think that it's of those plastic ones that kids have when they're young and prone to wetting the bed! LOL! This one is very soft and cottony. And amazingly, it doesn't allow ANY moisture through! You can also machine wash it whenever you like.

Anyway - just thought I would share my story - for anyone who gets these dreaded Night Sweats - you know what I'm talking about!
