SafeRestPremium 9" Thick Box Spring Encasement - Waterproof - Breathable, Noiseless and Vinyl Free - Fits Up to 9" - Queen

No one ever wants to need one of these, but if you are going through the horror of the dreaded bed bugs, then this is the brand you want to buy. It sturdy, easy to install over your mattress, has that great zipper cover, so that it can't accidentally open, and most importantly of all, it gives you piece of mind that nothing is going to get in or out of your mattress. Just a tip, even if you spill something on the mattress, your kid pees the bed, or pukes on it.....DO NOT remove it to wash it until 18 months after you see your last bed bug. They can survive for that long, and no one wants to live through that hell again. Just spot clean as best you can. Also, after we brought these nasty little buggers home from a cottage rental 4 years ago, we found that heat treatment was what finally got rid of them for us. Chemicals didn't seem to work. We also used interceptor cups under bed posts, ecoraider, and Diatomaceous earth on anything that couldn't be heat treated or put in the washer and dryer on high heat. Best of luck dealing with these little sleep robbers, and know that eventually this will be over, even though it doesn't feel like it right now.

Bed bugs of all sizes all over the zipper and walking along the cover itself, not impressed. I don't know if they're coming out of the zipper and walking, spreading that way, but pretty ridiculous if I have to tape up the WHOLE zipper to ensure anything left alive stays inside the cover.

this product works great to keep bed bugs out of your mattress and box spring. good preventive action. That said, when you go to wash them you have to wash lightly on cool water and tumble dry low heat. however to kill any bed bugs you need to wash and dry on HIGH heat for 45mins. I just find it odd that to washing instructions are so weak.

Unfortunately we are still having issues with bed bugs in our bed but I don't think it has anything to do with the encasement. We live in an apartment and the other tenants around us are not being treated so it has left us in a sticky position.Here is what I really liked about this encasement......it is sooooo easy to put on!! The zipper spans essentially 3 sides of the box spring so there is no tugging it to get it on (which is what we had to do with the last one and of course it ripped). It is a little roomier than I thought it would be. which is great for putting it on, but I do wonder if that leaves it prone to rips against the metal bed frame, with all the loose material.Quality seems good and the zipper is tiny (which is something to look for when buying an encasement cause you don't want the nymphs to be able to crawl thru.

Honestly this was hard asf for 1 person to put on. Lol.However, every time taking it off to readjust to figure out which way and etc, it did not rip or tear once. I have long nails and a metal frame that catches everything and tears, there is no rip or tear, only thing damaged was myself in the process 😂The only issue so far is on the zipper. It does not do up completely. It seems like there is enough space for stuff to slip through. And the seams around the velcro aren't 100% done correctly. - Stating for anyone buying this for mites or bedbugs.That's not a huge deal for me as I just need it to cover the bottom of my box spring.Hoping this one lasts unlike walmart brands where my cats did claw the bottom to get inside of my boxspring. (My reason for buying to begin with)
