Does this close up over your head so bed bugs can't get in? what's to stop bed bugs if the top is open?

No, and I don't think I would want to have a sheet that closed so tightly that bedbugs would be sealed out -- if such a thing even exists. Bed bugs are really small, small enough to get through most zippers, etc.

You would need a zippered net to accomplish that...I sprayed mine with Zeet. No problem.

Yes other reviewers are correct, there are small holes in this bag. I can't give an exact answer as I'm not a medical professional but I would think it should give some protection. Bed bugs have to be brought in from an outside source so if you are storing a mattress and don't already have bed bugs you should be safe. If you do currently have bed bugs I would not trust this bag and I would consult an exterminator who knows what they're doing.

Having a bedliner that locks in under the bed is fine. If you used one that goes over the top of the bed then you'd have to cut 4 small slots in the liner so clamp can go through and contact the under side of the bed lip.

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

I don't know. Your question inspired me to do a google search, and I found the answer below on this site: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12133597/ns/dateline_nbc-dont_let_the_bed_bugs_bite/t/your-bed-bug-questions-answered/ QUESTION: A similar question has to do with mattress covers, can they prevent bed bugs? ANSWER: The answer is no. Bed bugs can still get on top of the mattress cover or harbor in the bed frame. The advantage of the mattress cover is that if you already have bed bugs, you can trap them inside the cover and they cannot bite through. If you don't have bed bugs the cover saves you from having to throw out the mattress if you ever get bed bugs.

Hello, The Z rack covers by necessity are open on the bottom. We have found it difficult to develop a cover that encloses completely. The open bottom is good for the heat and humidity that can build up because it allows some air to flow. They will protect somewhat from bugs, but are not completely enclosed. They are meant to keep dust and dirt off of your clothes. The only sure way to protect your clothing from any kind of bug is to use individual or high capacity garment bags.

No, the top is completely open. I don't think it's allowed by law to have a baby product like this completely enclosed. Maybe you should look for some kid tents in travel section...

It goes over the mattress like a sheet with corners that tuck down under. Mine goes down along the sides but stays in place. Then put the sheet on top of this. I love it. Extra padding under the sheet makes it nicer for better sleeping also.

This pillow comes with a cover. I have had no problem with bed bugs and this pillow. But the cover would help me to know the pillow itself is covered and protected.

Hmm. Mine stays open about 4 inches. I force it closed since my pup is a min pin. They like to burrow. It's a great bed for dogs that like to be covered. That's why I got it, since that is what the descriptions read. Just make sure your dog likes to be covered. If not, try pins on top. Just pin a little bit of the fabric to itself.... Maybe that will help. But I'd have bought it even if she didn't burrow, it looked so fluffy.. it is.

It closes on the end...by the feet/head. Btw: I've been meaning to review this protector...it saved our mattress from all moisture when our dog had an accident! It was unbelievable! I thought for sure the mattress was a goner! But this protector dispersed the liquid and we were saved!

It probley would a little but but the sides don't close all the way so bugs could still get in!

No but it does keep the bugs out. It fits tight so the kids don't like to open and close the zippers all the time.

No, there is an opening at the top. The cedar wood inserts should work to prevent insects from being attracted to the garment bag.

No, but any open gap can let in flying insects. My guess is only a perfectly sealed camper could keep out flying insects.

Yes, the sunlight gets through and the covered plants grow to good size, although I couldn't tell if it was somewhat slower. My plants were all ready at harvest time. If you seal the fabric to the bed (I use a raised bed) you can keep flying insects from bothering the plants. If crawling insects have a route in, they will likely move in. To avoid having to take the cover off too frequently, put a drip system inside and run the water tube in through a close fitting hole.

Yes it does. I have a TempurPedic and it works fine. It does not go down the entire length of the bed, but that wasn't important for us. We position it so it blocks the end of the bed more than the top.
