The Malouf Ice Tech Cooling Mattress Protector is a superior choice for those seeking advanced cooling and comprehensive protection. It is best for hot sleepers and allergy sufferers, but its slightly thicker design may not suit those who prefer a snug sheet fit.
The Nest Bedding Cooling Mattress Protector has been discontinued, but customers can purchase the Malouf Ice Tech Cooling Mattress Protector instead, which is a better option.
The Malouf Ice Tech Cooling Mattress Protector is made with a unique phase-change material that absorbs and dissipates heat, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night. It also has a soft, breathable cover that is gentle on the skin and allows for airflow.
The Malouf Ice Tech Cooling Mattress Protector is also waterproof and dust mite resistant, so you can rest assured knowing that your mattress is protected from spills, stains, and allergens.
Here is a comparison of the two mattress protectors:
| Feature | Nest Bedding Cooling Mattress Protector | Malouf Ice Tech Cooling Mattress Protector |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling technology | Phase-change material | Phase-change material |
| Cover | Soft, breathable | Soft, breathable |
| Waterproof | Yes | Yes |
| Dust mite resistant | Yes | Yes |
| Warranty | 10 years | 10 years |
The Malouf Ice Tech Cooling Mattress Protector is a better option than the Nest Bedding Cooling Mattress Protector because it offers more features and benefits at a comparable price. It is also backed by a 10-year warranty, which gives you peace of mind knowing that your purchase is protected.

My Mattress Protector Findings
This mattress protector will sleep cooler than a conventional mattress protector and given the price it’s not that much more to pay. Below is a video shot with my infrared camera to show how quickly heat dissipates. I found this to be just as effective as the Malouf brand.
This is also waterproof and machine washable so you get all the benefits of a regular protector. When comparing the Nest protector to the Malouf protector, I found that the Malouf protector was a bit thicker and also more slippery. By that I mean your sheets slide around on top of the protector. This will lead to fitted sheets coming loose faster. Since it is thicker it will take away from the original feel of your mattress.
My Recommendation
I highly recommend mattress protectors in general because they not only keep your mattress clean and looking new, they also prevent dust mites from entering and reduce allergy issues. A major complaint with traditional mattress protectors is that they sleep hot. Really old or cheap mattress protectors will have a layer of vinyl which don’t breathe at all and trap heat. This mattress pad has a breathable membrane as well as cooling phase change technology that can keep you cooler than your original mattress.
There are now many mattresses on the market that have a cooling phase change cover built into the mattress, however, if you cover with a mattress pad that doesn’t have this technology or is not breathable, it totally negates the effectiveness. It’s better to get the mattress that has the most comfort for your needs then add something like this cooling protector if you find it is sleeping to hot.
