Still wetting the bed are we?
		
 
		
	 
You could spill something on your bed. You could throw up on your bed. 
There are tons of reason to have a vinyl cover.
		
 
		
	 
Seriously...  My wife and I got it as a wedding gift.  It turns out that my wife likes to eat and drink in the bed...  It's saved our mattress twice and made spills as easy to fix as swapping out the sheets.
The only downside is that if you don't have the featherbed on, it makes the sheets cold in the winter and you can feel the plastic.  With the featherbed, you don't even notice.
Anyhow:  King Sized Mattress $800-1800 - Featherbed $90-150.  
The featherbed can be dry cleaned.
