Customer Reviews for Protect-A-Bed AllerZip Bed Bug Mattress Cover - Full

I had another mattress cover on my bed, from Allergy Control Products, that we paid a lot more for but that was made of thinner material that ended up ripping. This cover is nice and sturdy and has a nice, soft, towel-like covering on top for spills, etc. The better materials are, I'm guessing, the reason why it costs $30 more than a similarly priced cover at Wal-Mart. This websites price was excellent and the service was very good--I ordered the wrong thing by mistake, and they fixed it before it shipped.

I was getting strange bites during the middle of the night, and even though I could not find any sign of bed bugs - I bought the mattress and box spring covers and after vacuuming my mattress thoroughly, and spraying it with Steri-Fab, I put the covers on and made my bed. Have not had one single bite since!! Coincidence? Maybe.... but the peace of mind is wonderful!!! Anyone who owns a mattress that is more than a few years ought to vacuum it (gross !!!) and then put these covers on.......... Love them. Thanks!

As I observed this mattress cover, I was wandering if it would fit and was it durable. When I received my cover I found it very easy to place on the mattress, and I like the fact that it had a terry cloth top. It fits on my mattress perfectly and the cover is very good quality. I don't have to worry about it ripping or splitting like my previous mattress cover. I am well pleased with this AllerZip cover. The zipper seems to be well made in order to keep out unwanted pest. I would recommend this to a friend.

These mattress covers are great! I purchased two cheaper models from Target. They were made with a very flimsy material which didnt look like it could stand up to a machine washing without falling apart. The Protect A Bed covers are made with a very durable material, terry cloth on top, are very easy to put on the bed, zippers on three sides and worth the money. I bought two mattress covers; and put one each on the boxspring and mattress because I read that the boxspring one wasnt as durable. I am very pleased with these mattress covers. Highly recommended.

Bought a Protect-a-Bed Bug Mattress Cover-Full 11", 2-3 weeks ago. Immediately put it to use, and so far there are no traces of bed bugs. We washed and dried all bedding prior to installing the cover. In addition, we spray around the bed 1X per week. Don't know how the bed cover will stand up over the long haul, with use and washes, however, we're keeping our fingers crossed. By the way, quality seems good and price is lowest I found for this cover.

This thing does protect the mattress from critters, but because it fails to allow even air to permeate the cover, every time I sleep on it I awake the next morning in a puddle of sweat--as if I were laying on a plastic mat.

I bought the mattress cover and pillow cases after I returned from staying in a "rustic" cottage for 2 weeks where I suspected I'd had bed bugs. I was feeling itchy all over, had a suspicious bite (tick maybe?). Anyway, I put these products on my bed and I've stopped feeling itchy (I also sprayed my bed with the Steri-fab and another organic spray). The mattress cover was pretty easy to put on by myself, with a little advance thinking. The pillowcases actually give my pillows a bit of "oomph" with the trapped air. All in all, I am happy with my purchase.

I've only had my mattress cover for one month but I haven't seen any bedbugs since I've put it on. The cover is real easy to put on the mattress and box springs.

We had recently purchased a zippered mattress cover at our local store for allergy relief. It was labeled for allergies and bed bugs. It didn't seem to be vinyl or plastic, but it was very hot and too large for our bed. Every night I was sweating and the extra bulk really bothered us as we tried to sleep. I saw the Protect-A-Bed Mattress Cover you have and decided to try one since it mentioned being breathable. Boy, are we impressed! Not only does it fit nice and snug on our mattress, but it isn't hot at all. We love it and will purchase more for our other beds to help with allergies and keep our mattresses clean. Thanks!

These replaced a set I had gotten at J C Penny's which I did not like at all. Protect-A-Bed Covers fit very good, better materials and have done the job well. I am going to use these from now on. Thank you for having them.

Before I would wake up every morning with bites in new places. Once my purchase was delivered, I sprayed my mattress with Steri-fab and vacuumed it. Then, I encased my mattress and box spring with Protect-A-Bed, which fit perfectly. This was nearly 3 weeks ago and I haven't woken up with any bites since! It's truly incredible! I used to have one of those plastic covers which made it difficult to sleep because of the heat it seemed to generate and the scratchy noise it made with every movement. It also ripped easily. This is not the case with the Protect-A-Bed terry cloth cover and I'm so thrilled I made this choice!

The zipper around 3 sides makes putting the cover on a cinch. It took barely 5 minutes to put it on a heavy futon.

Got a memo slipped under the door of our apartment by bldg. management, that read "it has been determined that a neighbor has been infested with bed bugs." I was furious! I found out that it was the apartment above ours, and someone would be coming in to make sure they hadn't spread to neighboring apartments. Part of the examination would include ripping off the bottom covering of our box spring, which made me very uncomfortable. We were clean, thankfully. The "expert" recommended "Protect-A-Bed". I always do research on purchases, and this was no exception. Not only did I find high ratings, but helpful hints from other purchasers. "Read and follow the directions." This is important especially with the box spring cover, as it is a bit less "sturdy" than the mattress cover. Make sure you use the pads included to cover sharp corners on the frame. Everything went smoothly, and I now feel safe in knowing nothing "unwanted" will be residing in my bed...aside from my snoring husband.

I ordered 11' because my mattress is 10". I no longer have bed bugs coming from my mattress. Not pleased to see that you lowered the prices after my purchases.

The mattress cover fits the mattress very well and I like the terry cloth top part of it. It's also seems durable.

I had bed bugs for a year with several pest control sprayings! I figured out what the bites were when I finally saw one on the bed. Living with clothes in plastic bags and sleeping in the living room is NOT fun. The mattress cover is sturdy made of a thick material and comfortable with the terry cloth on top. The zipper goes on all three side panels. The cheaper versions are made of a strong paper and the zipper opens only at one end. I bought the mattress cover for the box spring too. If you can save up for it, do so. I bought the mattress encasement for the box spring too.

The mattress cover arrived within only a couple of days. It was surprisingly easy to put on my bed. Without my own mattress cover on top, it was slightly uncfortable. Yet, once I placed my own mattress cover on top, it was perfectly comfortable. In fact, it felt like my same comfy bed. I highly recommend.

Bought the mattress cover for two new double mattresses with pillow tops. The product was well packaged. The covers were easy to install and the fit was good. The zipper worked well and the tie wrap keeps it closed.

The mattress cover was easy to put on and seems to be strong enough not to tear easily. So far, so good.
