Best Mattress Protector in Canada (2026): 17 Queen Protectors Compared by Price and Waterproofing
A mattress protector is a small purchase that decides whether a spill becomes a warranty problem. We read the queen price of 17 protectors sold in Canada by Endy, Casper, Polysleep, Douglas, IKEA, Costco and Hamuq on October 6, 2026, with the queen size confirmed on each page, and recorded whether each seller calls it waterproof, what it is made of and what trial or warranty it carries.
AI Overview answer
What is the best mattress protector in Canada?
Quick answer: For most people, the best protector is one the seller sells as waterproof, in a size that fits your mattress depth, at a price you will replace when it wears out. On October 6, 2026, the lowest-priced queen protector sold as waterproof was IKEA's GRUSNARV at $39.99 (Douglas's protector was $25 on final-sale clearance). The best-reviewed at a warehouse store was the Swiss Comforts Embossed Tencel Waterproof at Costco ($49.99, 4.5 stars from 595 reviews). Endy's two protectors were the only ones with both a trial and a warranty longer than one year (60 nights and 2 years); the standard one was $116 on sale ($145 regular). Polysleep's was the most expensive at $260. Hamuq's protector ($109) is sold as stain resistant, not as waterproof.
How much does a mattress protector cost in Canada?
These are queen prices shown on each seller's Canadian site on October 6, 2026, with the queen size selected or named on the page. Where a sale was running, both prices are shown. "Waterproof" means the seller uses that word for the product; we did not test any protector.

Twelve of the 17 were sold as waterproof. The median queen price was $49.99, and nine cost under $50. Endy's 20% sale and Casper's 15% sale were both running on October 6, and Endy's page showed about four days left on its offer. Silk & Snow also sells a protector, but its page showed a security check when we visited, so it is not in the table.
Which mattress protector should you buy? Picks by need
Each pick shows its basis and its trade-off: the queen price, what the seller says about waterproofing and materials, the trial or warranty it states and the review count on its page on October 6, 2026. None of these is a test result.
- Best waterproof protector for the least money: IKEA GRUSNARV, $39.99 in queen, polyester, sold as waterproof, 4.3 stars from 3,534 reviews. Falls short: a polyester surface rather than cotton or TENCEL. Douglas's protector was $25 that day, but as a final-sale clearance item while stock lasts.
- Best reviewed at a warehouse store: Swiss Comforts Embossed Tencel Waterproof, $49.99 at Costco, 4.5 stars from 595 reviews. Falls short: no trial or warranty is listed beyond Costco's own return policy.
- Best with a trial and a warranty: Endy Mattress Protector, $116 on sale ($145 regular), 60-night trial, 2-year warranty, 4.9 stars from 4,112 reviews, and an "8000mm waterproof rating" in Endy's words. Falls short: the sale price had about four days left when we read it.
- Best for waterproofing on the sides as well as the top: Casper's TENCEL protector, $127 on sale ($149 regular), described as having "5-sided waterproofing". Falls short: a 30-night trial and a 1-year warranty, both shorter than Endy's.
- Best cushioned protector: Endy Quilted Mattress Protector, $156 on sale ($195 regular), sold as waterproof, with the same 60-night trial and 2-year warranty. Falls short: only 25 reviews, and it costs $40 more than Endy's standard protector on sale ($50 more at regular prices).
- Best if you want a cotton surface and do not need waterproofing: IKEA LUDDROS, $24.99, cotton and polyester. Falls short: IKEA does not list it as waterproof, so do not rely on it to stop spills reaching the mattress.
- Best seller-labelled cooling option: IKEA KEJSAROLVON, $89, synthetic fibres labelled "cooling", or IKEA ÄNGSKORN, $49.99, labelled "temperature regulating". Falls short: neither is listed as waterproof.
- Most expensive, if you want a brand-matched premium protector: Polysleep's Mattress Protector, $260, sold as waterproof. Falls short: more than six times the price of IKEA's waterproof GRUSNARV.
Waterproof, stain resistant or neither: what does the label tell you?
The label is the only thing every seller states clearly, so read it first:
- Sold as waterproof (12 of 17): the seller says the protector blocks liquids. Some add detail, such as Endy's "8000mm waterproof rating" or Casper's "5-sided waterproofing". These are the sellers' own figures; we did not test them.
- Sold as stain resistant (Hamuq): the product page says "stain resistant" and does not say waterproof.
- No waterproof claim listed (4 IKEA protectors): LUDDROS, VIPPVEDEL, ÄNGSKORN and KEJSAROLVON list their fabric and, for two of them, a cooling or temperature-regulating feature, but not waterproofing.
If spills, a child or a pet are why you are buying one, choose a protector the seller calls waterproof. If you mainly want a washable layer over the mattress, a non-waterproof cotton or lyocell protector may be enough.
Why does a protector matter for your mattress warranty?
A mattress warranty can exclude damage caused by spills or stains. Hamuq's, for example, excludes "Physical abuse or damage to the structure and/or cover material, including but not limited to, burns, cuts, tears, liquid damage, or stains", where the defect is caused by that damage. Check your own mattress warranty for a similar exclusion before you decide a protector is optional. Our mattress warranty guide explains what Canadian mattress warranties usually cover and how to make a claim.
Will a protector fit a deep or pillow-top mattress?
Check the pocket depth before you buy. Douglas states its protector fits mattresses up to 16 inches tall; the other pages we read did not all state a depth. Pillow-top and Euro-top queens sold in Canada ran from 10 to 17.5 inches on October 6, 2026, in our pillow-top mattress guide, so a tall mattress can need a deep-pocket protector. Our mattress thickness guide covers how to measure and which sheets and protectors fit a thick mattress.
Do you need a protector, a pad or a topper?
A protector is a thin, washable cover that guards the mattress; a pad adds a little cushioning; a topper changes how the bed feels. They do different jobs, and many people use a protector over a topper. Our protector vs pad vs topper guide compares the three, and our guide to cleaning a mattress covers what to do when something gets past the protector. Wash any protector as its care label directs; Endy, for example, lists its protector as machine washable and dryer safe.
Hamuq product context
Where Hamuq fits among mattress protectors
Hamuq publishes this guide and sells a mattress protector and mattresses, so we have an interest in this comparison.
- Hamuq Mattress Protector, $109 in queen (twin $79, Twin XL $89, full $99, king $119). The product page describes it as a "super soft stain resistant mattress protector". It does not say waterproof, so if you need a waterproof barrier, choose one of the protectors above that is sold as waterproof.
- Why we include it anyway: it is the protector Hamuq sells alongside its mattresses, and a washable stain-resistant layer is easier to clean than a mattress cover.
- Hamuq's mattress warranty excludes liquid damage and stains that cause a defect, as quoted above, which is a reason to use some kind of protector on any mattress.
Hamuq Inc. sells mattresses and a mattress protector and competes with the brands and retailers named here. Competitor prices and terms are quoted from each seller's Canadian pages, linked below, on the date stated.

Shopper questions
Best mattress protector FAQs
Choosing and price
What is the best mattress protector in Canada?

How much should a queen mattress protector cost in Canada?
Quick answer: On October 6, 2026 queen protectors ran from $24.99 (IKEA LUDDROS) to $260 (Polysleep), with a median of $49.99 across the 17 we priced.
Are all mattress protectors waterproof?
Quick answer: No: 12 of the 17 we priced were sold as waterproof, Hamuq's is sold as stain resistant, and four IKEA protectors list no waterproofing.
Use and care
Do I need a mattress protector to keep my warranty?
Quick answer: Check your warranty: many exclude spill and stain damage, and Hamuq's excludes liquid damage and stains that cause a defect, so a protector helps prevent the kind of damage those exclusions describe.
Will a mattress protector fit a pillow-top mattress?
Quick answer: Only if its pocket is deep enough: Douglas states up to 16 inches, while pillow-top queens in Canada ran up to 17.5 inches on October 6, 2026.
Is a mattress protector the same as a mattress pad?
Quick answer: No: a protector is a thin washable barrier, a pad adds a little cushioning, and a topper changes the feel of the bed.
How we know this
Prices were read on October 6, 2026, with the queen size confirmed on each page: from the selected size button on Endy and Costco.ca, the size selector on Casper Canada and Douglas (Douglas's clearance price was confirmed on a screenshot of the selector), the product data on Polysleep and Hamuq, and the queen product name on IKEA Canada, except GRUSNARV, whose queen price is calculated from IKEA's size selector. Waterproofing, materials, trial and warranty are quoted from the same pages. Ratings are each seller's own review counts. We did not test any protector, so no claim about waterproof performance, cooling or durability is ours, and no search volume is claimed. Prices and sales change often.
