Sealy Luxury Knit Mattress Protector
Skip until Sealy discloses coating chemistry or obtains third-party PFAS verification.
Mattress protectors typically require water and stain resistance, which have historically relied on PFAS-based water-repellent coating treatments. Sealy does not publicly disclose the chemical composition of this protector's coating or make any PFAS-related claims.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
