Seven Keys To Buying Bed Bug Proof Encasements

Executive summary about bed mattress encasements by Alan Tranter

Specially manufactured bed bug proof encasements are available for your mattress, box spring and pillows. The way bedding encasements work is simple. They completely seal each item of bedding. This prevents bed bugs getting into your mattress etc. The key things to look for when choosing bedding encasements are:

1. Tightly woven fabric.

Bed bugs are small, the young ones are about the size of a poppy seed, and adults are only about the same length as a grain of rice, so you can imagine how easy they would find it to sneak through any fabric not sufficiently closely woven.

2. Specialist zip fasteners.

You don't want to have fastening that will let you down; the fastenings need to be completely bug-proof.

3. "Breathable" qualities.

As well as being up to the job of keeping bed bugs out of your bed, mattress encasements need to be comfortable.

4. Cotton layer to add comfort.

An outer layer of cotton fabric will be bonded to a waterproof membrane, so you will be sleeping in a comfortably dry environment.

5. Ease of laundering.

Look for mattress and pillowcase encasements that can be easily laundered. The best quality bedding encasements can be easily machine washed and tumble dried.

6. Good fit.

For comfort you won't want a mattress encasement that is too big as it would be likely to move around and make uncomfortable creases for you to lie on.

7. Manufacturer's guarantee.

You want your bedding encasements to be reliable and - let's face it - buying good mattress, pillow and box spring encasements is going to cost quite a bit. The better quality bed bug proof mattress encasements carry a manufacturers' 10 year guarantee.

Bedding encasements are not only useful in the aftermath of a pest infestation, they are useful to prevent infestation occurring. Good quality bug proof mattress encasements are manufactured to fit all sizes. You will find everything from king size mattress encasements down to crib size mattress encasements.
