Matress coverings for HP - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

Just wondering for those of you who have matress HP's what do you use on the matress cover?

Right now, we're just going with the regular matress cover that came with the bed....well it's a brand new replacement, but I'm thinking of possibly getting some fitted sheets or something along those lines.

I've also heard beach towels, but you can't fit too many of those in the washer at once.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I use sheets. Not fitted, regular sheets. The place I get them from cuts them to size. They overhang a few inches on each side of the sunsport mattress. I can fit 10-15 sheets in one load.

On our 818, we use fitted sheets. Works great as well.

I got some nice, really nice beach towels w/name & logo. Look really nice on mattress.

I got extras for retail.

W8INLINE · 26th June 2007, 12:36 PM

Ziti, I had towels too in the begining. I found they didn't cover the whole mattress and I could only fit half as many in the washer as I do sheets.

Are you having the same problem?

phattmatt · 26th June 2007, 08:58 PM

and the towells shrink and burn the piss out of your body part that comes in contact with the mattress. OUCH

Fitted sheets for us

Ziti · 27th June 2007, 11:21 AM

No problems here. The towels are large. Only about 6 inches of the mattress is not covered, but that is where the pillow is with a handtowel. I will take a pic for you.

Yes can't get as many in the washer, but I don't want a lot of dirties in the basket anyway. Once we get about 5 beach towels dirty they are washed.

Shane, for the Omega Twin sheets work the best. These can be had at Target for as little as $8 each. By far the easiest way to go.

Hey Shane, I tried to email you but it came back to me. Send me an email when you get a chance.

Although I am a little slow, here is the pic I said I would post.

Fitted sheets wouldn't work on my mattress.

Fitted sheets for me.

Fitted twin sheet from Wal-mart. 200 thread count, 7 bucks each. Fit lots into the washer.

mr belvedere · 15th July 2007, 07:05 AM

Have you tried Saran Wrap? It's the only tan-thru material that I can think of. Oh wait, why would you cover vinyl with tan-thru stuff; since vinyl is washable?

nebtans · 17th July 2007, 05:40 PM

Wally world beach towels. "Double size" (60X72) Cheap and last a very long time. Cover entire mattress with enough left over to tuck in on ends.

Fit 4-5 in washer per load.

Ziti · 17th July 2007, 11:51 PM

Not WallyWorld Towels... go first class. It does make a statement, ya know.

I paid good money for my towels and the clients love 'em. Infact I sell them as well.

Shane · 18th July 2007, 12:45 AM

I ended up going with some fitted sheets from Target. Found them for $2.99 each.

Look nice and not bulky like a beach towel so we can put more in the washer at a time.
