can you put a bedbug cover on the mattress immediately or do you have to wait for it to fully decompress?

I put my mattress cover on it right away. It decompresses quickly, in minutes and not hours as stated.

Yes, it is. However, I do not know why you would want to do that. It has got a zipper, that is not the problem. But, How are you going to get the mattress back into that cover after you wash it? This is an excellent product, but is it not a permanent bed. What we do is but a nice fitting sheet on them. We have three of them.

The cover cannot be removed without opening a seam; there's no zipper. However, the entire bed can be thrown in the wash safely. I wash mine with the sheets, and throw it in the dryer, too. No problems so far.

No, you'll have to find a way to dispose of your old mattress yourself. Also, the setup is quite easy, if you have a helper. Once you place the mattress and take off the wrap, it will fill with air, and after a few hours you can sleep on it.

Nope! Once it's out of the bag, it's out of the bag and a standard mattress. They must use some very strong machinery to compress it that way.

Hello, I'm glad you asked. If you have bugs, the best bet is to get It checked out. Have you been getting bites, such as little red bumps. Unless your bed is completely covered by bugs I would get the top and bottom cover, once on this will keep any bugs from coming out of mattress or box spring. This is not a total solution, so a pest control company is the next step. The one I used did a hepa vacuum and steam cleaned all rooms. A lot of work is involved cleaning clothes and moving things around. If you buy a mattress and don't take care of bugs you will still have a problem. I hope this helps. Hello, I'm glad you asked.

Good morning. Forgive my delay in responding, in the hospital attending to my Dad... You are right in that the Encase Protctive Cover has a significant amount of play with regard to the depth, but though I am rather anal with my bedding, have not found this cover in any way uncomfortable, having placed the 'slack' side-which has elastic running around its perimeter- to the underside of the mattress. You do not say whether you are purchasing the cover as 'general protection,' or as a remedy for or guard against bedbugs. Having just gone through THAT horrific ordeal, let me assure you that any inconvenience that might have even remotely been perceived by the Encase Protctive Cover would have been tolerated! Once the matress pad and then the top sheet is in place, the Encase Protctive Cover cover does not move about, at all. More importantly the quality of the Encase Protctive Cover was wonderful. Soft, pliable, and without the plastic feel of several of the covers! All and all, a good choice! We are quite satisfied with them, now using the Encase Protctive Covers to protect a total of four of our mattresses and box springs. (Though I will admit to not being quite as satisfied with the box spring covers which do not seem as durable. Were I to do it again I might choose to use the mattress covers for both, despite the cost.) There you have it... Hope this has helped.

The mattress is already waterproof but no... i havent found a cover that fits.

I put it under the mattress cover AFTER it fully expanded. It took mine a full day to expand.

I cannot honestly answer this question since we don't have a bed bug problem. However, the fact that this mattress cover envelops the mattress would prevent bed bugs from getting in.

I've deflated the bed several times and had no problems. I put the bed back in the bag that was provided and store in a closet. Hope this helps.

It may be a big pain in your behind, but here is one sure way to kill those little buggers. I'm telling you .. get a vinyl or plastic zippered cover for both your box and mattress. Puff that DE powder in every single seam, button pull or whatever. Be sure to puff in your baseboards too. Zipper your box spring and mattress. Then you can cover the top mattress with one of those padded pillowy type things for comfort and an oversized sheet on all of that. Just be darn sure you puff enough of the DE all inside your box springs. The little devils WILL NOT survive that.

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

Bed should be at room temperature before inflating or it may cause air leaks. Time to fully inflate is approximately 4 minutes. Turn dial on pump to "inflate" position. Bed will inflate hands free. When desired firmness is reached, turn dial to neutral position. To deflate, turn dial to deflate. Once excess air is released, turn dial to neutral position. Store bed in temp. Above 50 degrees.

I honestly don't know. I put it on top of the mattress then put on a zippered bedbug cover. Sorry couldn't help . . . :-(

It would take about 2 minutes to remove the bedbug since it is held in place with Velcro

Right out of the box you should inflate it as soon as possible and not put any bedding on it. It does have a strong odorand will probably bother the person sleeping on it. The longer you air it the less odor there will be
