Hello All,

I have a new latex mattress and of course want to protect it. I purchased a nice, classic cotton fitted mattress pad for it. My Sealy Springfree has a little PU on top of the latex and a beautiful soft cover that cannot be removed without "mattress surgery".

But a salesman told me that I needed a Protect a Bed Mattress Pad, which protects a mattress from moisture because after 5 years of perspiration and dead skin, the mattress cover over the PU foam will soak up pounds of unwanted moisture. (And that's why we weigh less in the morning than at night) It grossed me out but I can't forget it.

 Does anyone know if this is true? We don't have children or pets in the bed, neither do we drink or spill things in it. I'll pay for the Protect a Bed pad if we need it, just don't want to ge hoodwinked. I can't find the answer anywhere else I've searched so I'm asking you pros.

Thanks in advance for your help--
