After testing over 40 mattress pads in The Lab, we've learned they’re not meant to add more comfort to your mattress. Instead, think of mattress pads as an insurance policy: They’re the first defense against smells, spills, dust, and dead skin that accumulate. And unlike your mattress, they can be washed regularly. While mattress pads can offer cooling capabilities and waterproof construction, the make-or-break feature we identified during testing was fit. A well-fitting mattress pad ensures your mattress is completely covered (and makes your sheets easier to put on). Whether you're looking for a thickly padded, temperature-regulating, or waterproof mattress pad, we've handpicked some of the best options to upgrade and protect your mattress. We like the Better Homes [Derila Head & Neck Relief](https://git.whistledev.com/jewellblue1675/derilapillow4922762/-/issues/20) Gardens Waterproof Cotton Mattress Pad because it checks so many boxes. It's effective, affordable, and offers a wonderfully secure fit.<br>

In our testing, we liked how securely the pad fit our mattress
