Our bed sizes are not the same here as for most of you. But it seems to be the bigger the bed the better these days. We will update the rest of ours in a fortnight as it slows ways down here and we can shut down to do all the shifting.
Do you put a mattress pad on your beds under your linens?.
Mattress. Mattress topper. Bed Bug Proof (Waterproof) mattress encasement. Cotton or Microfibre mattress protector (because the bedbug proof one is to slippery) and then sheets, etc. Lots of layers, but better safe than sorry.
.
In addition to the waterproof/bug proof layer, I use a heavily quilted mattress pad and an additional lighter easily-washable cotton mattress pad. I guess we get a lot of romantic couples
so the top pad gets washed as part of the changeover between guests. The stains have never penetrated to the heavier quilted layer, so that layer gets washed only monthly...and sometimes not even that often.

I really like the thin covers that came with the memory foam. I'd like more of those as they are so much easier to clean than the thick mattress pads. I hadn't thought of using a thin pad.
I covered the memory foam with an encasing plastic cover, then the thick mattress pad and then the thin sheet-like cover.
It would be easier to wash the thin one every time. Good idea!
