If you're preparing your guest bedroom for holiday sleepovers, there's one item of bedding we strongly recommend: a quality mattress protector. There are still some fab Cyber Week extended deals hanging around on many of our faves, including the Coop Ultra Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector. We rate Coop's protector over others we've tested, and now is the time to buy with a queen down to $47 (was $59) at Coop Sleep Goods.

The best mattress protectors aren't just great for keeping spills at bay, they're also good for protecting against bacteria, bed bugs and dust mites. The latter is helpful if your guests suffer from allergies.

This is our top pick in the guide thanks to the near perfect score it earned in the Coop Ultra Tech Waterproof Mattress Protector review. During the testing period, we found it to be 100% waterproof and noiseless. It's also made from super breathable Lulltra fabric (blend of polyester and bamboo-derived viscose rayon), which makes it a good choice for those prone to nightsweats or overheating. Right now, in Coop's last chance holiday sale, a twin is down to $36.80 (was $46.00) and a queen is $47.20 (was $59.00).

If you don't want to splash out tons of money on a mattress protector, this is our top recommendation. In our Utopia Bedding Waterproof Bamboo Mattress Protector review, we found it to be waterproof, breathable and noiseless, so it largely proves all its claims right. Our biggest gripe, however, was the slipperiness, but at $13.59 for a twin (down from $15.99) and a queen at $19.99, it's one of the most affordable yet functional options we've come across.

In our Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector review, we rated it highly for its consistent cooling and waterproof properties, giving it an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
