The quick choice
Buy myProtector for $199 Queen when you want wool between your body and the waterproof barrier. The wool can take in and release moisture vapor, and its modest loft creates a lightly padded surface.
Buy the Organic Cotton Protector for $189 Queen when you want the thinner construction, a GOTS-certified organic-cotton sleep surface, or simply want to save $10. It gives up the wool layer without giving up five-sided waterproof coverage or warranty length.

| Feature | myProtector | Organic Cotton Protector | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Queen price | $199 | $189 | The wool-filled model costs $10 more |
| Top surface | 270TC natural cotton percale | GOTS-certified organic cotton jersey | Percale feels crisper; jersey feels softer and stretchier |
| Added fill | 200 GSM washable Shropshire wool | No fill layer | Wool adds moisture handling and modest cushioning; no fill keeps the protector thinner |
| Organic claim | Natural cotton and wool; OEKO-TEX and Woolmark claims listed | Organic-cotton jersey layers; GOTS claim listed | Choose the claim that matches why you are paying a premium |
| Washer preference | Front load, no agitator preferred | Machine washable; avoid high heat | The wool layer needs more room and gentler handling |
Who benefits from each construction?
Wool moisture-management pick
myProtector
Choose the wool-filled model if you wake damp, dislike the flat feel of basic waterproof covers, or want one protector to add modest surface padding. The 200 GSM layer gives the extra $10 a specific job.
Better fit for: warm sleepers whose main issue is moisture, families who value five-sided spill coverage, and shoppers comfortable with wool-specific washing care.
Thinner organic-cotton pick
Organic Cotton Waterproof Protector
Choose this model if you bought a cooling mattress and want less material between its surface and your sheet, or if organic cotton is the reason you chose Sleep & Beyond. The lower price still includes waterproof side panels and the 10-year warranty.
Better fit for: sleepers who want a thinner cover, organic-cotton jersey, and the same basic protection for $10 less.
What stays the same
Both are five-sided protectors: the sleeping surface and four vertical sides are waterproof, while the bottom remains open. Both fit like a deep fitted sheet, accommodate mattresses up to 18 inches, list machine-washable care, and carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Neither is a six-sided encasement.
That means myProtector's extra value is the wool layer. It is not more waterproof, and it does not extend the warranty. The Organic Cotton model's value is the thinner certified-organic cotton construction. It is not a lower-coverage protector.
Two lower-cost and performance alternatives
The SafeRest Premium Waterproof Protector is the lower-price answer when top-surface spill protection is enough and neither wool nor organic cotton justifies the premium.
The BEDGEAR Dri-Tec Mattress Protector starts at $109.99 and uses a moisture-wicking performance fabric rather than wool. BEDGEAR currently treats protectors as unopened-only returns within 100 days, so compare that seller policy with the 30-day unused Sleep & Beyond policy before opening either product.

Frequently asked questions
What does myProtector add for $10 more in Queen?
It adds 200 GSM of washable Shropshire wool beneath a 270-thread-count cotton percale top. The Organic Cotton Waterproof Protector is thinner and uses two organic-cotton jersey layers around its waterproof membrane.
Are both Sleep & Beyond protectors waterproof on the sides?
Yes. The reviewed construction for both covers the sleeping surface and all four side panels. Neither is a fully zippered six-sided encasement.
Which protector is better for a hot sleeper?
myProtector is the stronger choice when moisture management is the priority because it adds a wool layer above the waterproof barrier. The thinner Organic Cotton Protector may suit someone who wants less material between the body and a cooling mattress. Neither actively cools the bed.
Can I return either protector after sleeping on it?
The reviewed Sleep & Beyond policy is not an at-home trial. Eligible returns must be requested within 30 days while the item remains new, unused, unlaundered, and in original condition and packaging.
