Hospitology Mattress Encasement

An optional layer to zip away the school-provided mattress. OEKO-TEX® certified. Never put a mattress topper inside an airtight encasement with the mattress. | Choose the Ultra Low Profile (6-8") size to fit a typical dorm mattress thickness. A larger size leaves loose material and can cause layers above to shift.
