Please Recommend a Comfy Mattress Protector

Never had one before, but looking to get a mattress protector. To obviously protect the mattress but mainly to really enhance the average mattress with something really comfy on top. Don't need anything too bulky so I can still use standard fitted sheets.

Can anyone recommend any particular products that they have tried or use and that they really like?

    It depends on your view!

    A lot of places say protector for both but other protector is a thin sheet to protect the matteress and a topper it the thick comfy type.

    If the materess is not comfy enough a topper helps, just avid the 'orrible memory foam nonsense as they are naff and cheap. (same goes for matteress's).

    Aldi do them from time to time and I have really liked them. Failing that Asda are not bad. There are other options of course but thoses are the cheaper ones.

    (disclaimer, I hate fitted sheets and would never use one as I like a thick decent materess and that alone makes them a pain! I buy a plain sheet of the next size up as that makes it even easier to use! (That's the norm right? Duvet and plain sheet are always one size over the bed/materess size. Just makes life nicer)).

    Interesting, so you obviously have a sheet of some sort to lie on. But "make" bed sheet base using a flat sheet (plain sheet)? Is that right? I always thought everyone used a fitted sheet for the base, but interesting option.

    As for what I need, perhaps it is then a "mattress topper". Any suggestions on brands and models welcome for them as well.
