Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The first impression of the folding mattress cover from maxVitalis is consistently positive. The product is delivered in a classic shipping box. The compact and secure packaging ensures that the cover is not damaged during transport. This is particularly important in order to guarantee the quality of the product. However, it is noticeable that the use of plastic film for the packaging would not necessarily have been necessary, which raises questions about sustainability. At a time when environmentally friendly alternatives are becoming increasingly important, a more sustainable solution would have been desirable.
The contents of the packaging were complete and in perfect condition, which reinforces the positive overall impression. There were no instructions for use, but this should not be seen as a disadvantage in this case, as the product is self-explanatory and intuitive to use.

In the practical test, the maxVitalis cover for folding mattresses showed its strengths above all in terms of material quality and workmanship. The 100% polyester cover impresses with its high tear resistance, excellent fit and attractive design. The cover fits perfectly on mattresses measuring 75 x 65 x 45 cm, whereby the measurements correspond exactly to the manufacturer’s specifications.
The additional comfort of the seat, which is padded and quilted to increase seating comfort, and the anti-slip studs on the underside are positive features. The zip works perfectly and retains its stability even under load.
The cover does not slip even with frequent use. Cleaning is also unproblematic – the cover can be machine washed at 30°C and retains its shape. One small point of criticism is the lack of washability labelling on the cover itself. Overall, however, the product offers a high level of quality and comfort that fulfils the requirements.
The maxVitalis cover for folding mattresses is a stylish and functional solution for integrating the guest mattress into the living area and protecting it at the same time.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.1 stars. One common criticism is that the base of the cover is open, which impairs the protection of the mattress. Many customers like the fact that the cover fits perfectly and can be used as a footstool. However, consumer criticism of the open base of the cover was not justified as it is closed.
Prices of up to €22.85 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €21.00 . The maxVitalis cover for folding mattresses is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €19.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
