Waterproof Mattress Protector Full - 14 / White
Skip or contact brand; waterproof mattress protectors commonly use PFAS-based coatings, and Nest Bedding has not disclosed materials.
This waterproof mattress protector relies on a water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coating to function, but Nest Bedding does not disclose whether it contains PFAS. Waterproof textiles historically use PFAS compounds (especially in polyurethane or TPU backings).

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
