Waterproof Mattress Fabric
TkanIstanbul supplies waterproof mattress protector fabric wholesale by the roll from Istanbul and arranges contract manufacturing of protectors on request. The fabric is a face fabric with a thin TPU membrane laminated to the back.
Waterproof mattress protector fabric has two layers: a face fabric with a thin TPU membrane laminated to the back. The membrane blocks liquid while letting some water vapour through, and it is softer, quieter and less sweaty than PVC coating. The face can be terry, Tencel or jersey. It is used for mattress protectors, baby products and care bedding. Prices are visible to members.

Frequently asked questions
- Is every mattress protector waterproof?
- No. In Türkiye the word alez also covers quilted protectors with no liquid barrier. Waterproof protector fabric has a TPU membrane under the face fabric.
- Does a TPU protector make you sweat?
- The membrane blocks liquid but lets some water vapour through, so it is less sweaty than PVC coating. Ask for the breathability value on the technical sheet.
- Which face fabric should I choose?
- Terry absorbs quickly and feels slightly warmer. Tencel is smooth and cool. Jersey stretches, stays quiet and grips the mattress in fitted styles.
- How should TPU fabric be washed?
- TPU is sensitive to heat and harsh chemicals; hot tumble drying and bleach can damage the membrane. For hotel laundry, ask which temperatures it withstands.
