What mattress cover/protector do you recommend for a latex bed?

We are going the 100% Natural Latex route...well have almost convinced my spouse anyways! (I'd much rather birth a 10 ob baby, with no epidural, then to decide on a mattress! It's been a nightmare! crying) I have never been an environmentalist or cared much about sleeping on chemicals basically from being nieve about them, but after having a son who was diagnosed with Autism 3 years ago with high levels of toxins in his system and wondering how they got there, led me down a path of research as a parent that Pediatricians do not tell you anything about. But, anywho, that's another topic all together!

I realize bugs/dust mites/allergens do not like 100% Natural latex...but they still like the material covering on top..so do most of you purchase a mattress protector/complete cover for your beds? Any suggestions on one that doesn't defeat the purpose of having a chemical free bed going latex that doesn't take away the feeling from the latex to which we are spending the bulk of the money on? Thank you for your time!
