Protect-A-Bed AllerZip Bed Bug Mattress Cover - QUEEN - Questions & Answers

Any bed bugs you seal up in the Protect-a-bed Bed Bug Mattress Cover cannot escape or bite through the cover, and will eventually die. This means you can save your bed bug infested mattress without throwing it out. Protect-a-bed Bed Bug Mattress Cover are made of breathable, 100% white terry cotton so they are soft, cool and comfortable to sleep on. They are also allergy proof, dust mite proof, waterproof and absorbent, machine washable, and come with a 10 year manufacturer's warranty against defects in workmanship and materials.

Yes. The manufacturer states: "Easy to Wash & Use: Machine wash in warm or hot water with another garment such as a towel. Tumble dry on low to medium heat with like garments. Wash before use for best results. Do not bleach (or use bleach alternatives) or dry clean."

We do not recommend steaming the mattress encasements. You should steam the mattress before placing the encasement on it. Any bedbugs that are left on the mattress after the encasement has been put in place will eventually die from starvation. The Protecta Bed mattress encasements have a special waterproof backing and you will risk blistering the backing if you choose to steam it. Also, the mattress encasements have special bedbug proof zippers which will prevent bedbugs from entering or exiting.

We cannot accept returns of mattress covers once they have been opened.  You should measure the length and the width and height or thickness of the mattress cover before purchasing.  You can always call us and tell us the measurements and we will be happy to tell you which one you need. 

Absolutely.  Many of our customers purchase the mattress encasement for the box spring also because the mattress encasement is a little sturdier and waterproof.

Mattress encasements that are 11" deep will fit up to 15" deep mattresses.

We carry the Protect-A-Bed AllerZip Bed Bug Mattress Covers with the terry cloth top.

It is very important to remember that bedbugs do not only hide on beds, but they can hide around the perimeter of the room, in wall voids, under the lip of the carpet, in clothes and in/on other furniture. Adding a mattress encasement to a memory foam mattress that does not have any seams of folds for the bedbugs to hide in, it will not help your problem. You must treat the entire home every 7-10 days until you do not get any bites for 30 days. If you live in an apartment, it is very possible that you are getting re-infested by your neighbors and you would need to contact building management who would need to inspect and treat all infested apartments.

Protect-A-Bed AllerZip Bed Bug Mattress Covers will encase the mattress completely and will be able to stop just about any insect from actually getting on the mattress.

Protect-A-Bed AllerZip Bed Bug Mattress Covers are actually encasements that zip up and cover the entire mattress which usually makes them unsuitable for adjustable mattresses because of the cables/wires coming from the mattress itself. You can contact Protect-A-Bed, the manufacturer, to see if they have a product that may better fit your needs. 866-297-8836

The Protect-A-Bed AllerZip Bed Bug Mattress Cover - QUEEN should be just fine for your mattress though it may be a little bit loose. The manufacturer of the mattress cover only makes standard sizes as do most of the other mattress cover manufacturers and your mattress does seem to be either an older mattress or a custom mattress.

There is not a thread count on the Protect-A-Bed products as you would find with sheets.  These products are encasements meant to go under fitted sheets and pillow covers.

Putting a mattress and box spring encasement on will require two people. This will prevent and tears in the fabric. The mattress and box spring will be zipped in the cover. You will begin at one end (located on the cover- it tells you what side belongs at the foot or the head of the bed). Start on one side and gently insert  the box spring in the cover and zip. Repeat with the mattress cover.
