Does this cover protect against bed bugs?

In my opinion no. It does not completely encase the mattress (think of it as like a little bit larger than a fitted sheet with the terry top) so the bottom of the mattress is still exposed to the boxspring.

I don't know and I have thrown out the packaging already. I just know it covers against wetness. Sorry.

I doubt it because it is just top shield. It does not zip up & encase the mattress. I have a foam mattress so I don't have to worry about them anyway.

This mattress encasement seems to be a good storage option to keep the bugs out and keep it clean: http://amzn.to/1siuQAy . Also it this can be washed and is waterproof, so its good to have to put over the mattress while you sleep on it.

I bought it for waterproof protection. It's not very thick (think of bedcover thickness) but would add a slight bit of cushion. Hope that helps!

not sure, but the bugs "outside" hate it..... can't hurt to try it.....good luck :)i've often heard that bed bugs are very resistant,though

I would imagine so. I haven't seen any bed bugs. The bed is always nice and clean looking when I change the sheets.

No it does not. I put it under the mattress pad for protection, even though to get the full benefits you should not. Remember that it is only one inch thick and won't hide a really bad mattress. For my use, it took off the harshness of a firm mattress.

Yes, it covered mine. However, my mom has a double pillow top mattress and it did not cover hers. I guess it just depends on the thickness of the mattress.

Nope. Even when up to have full access of the bed. No issues. I love this cover. Even folds as low was negative 24f. A little stiff. But works.

It does not prevent bedbugs, but if you do get bed bugs they cannot get into the mattress. You can wash the cover to get rid of any dead ones after they spray. It saves you from buying a new mattress. I would suggest getting a box spring cover and pillow covers. I had bed bugs at one of my rental properties and had to through ever thing out. So if I get them again I can wash all the coverings and save the new stuff I bought.

Yes, it covers the whole mattress, zips up on one side, has a zip tie and a velcro patch that covers them up.

We bought it for an adult using a hospital bed to keep his sheets dry, but I guess it COULD go under the sheet. That, of course, would protect the mattress but not the sheet.

the circular ring at the top is completely enclosed and nothing can enter that way. the opening slit is generous enough to overlap sufficiently to prevent ""crawly"" entry. But...bedbugs live in the mattress. Good luck with that.

Yes it does, here is a link to your question, I hope this helps. http://www.ehow.com/facts_7290536_well-earth-kill-bed-bugs_.html

Yes, it does. I wouldn't keep the solid cover on all the time though as I it can block the ventilation too. The mesh does a great job for most of the instances, it keeps pests, people and animals away. The solid cover folds nicely into a zippered back pocket.

The product doesn't mention bed bug protection as it's a fitted sheet design. SafeRest also makes another product called a bed bug proof encasement, which is also available on Amazon. Hope this helps.

No. I bought a cover at Walmart for $10. It's actually a fitted sheet style mattress protector and it works great :)
