Do you have to/should you cover beds & bedding around this?

No, you do not have to cover anything. Just put some newspaper down on the floor where the aerosol can goes. I have never had anissue with any residue.

To protect the frame and cushions, I covered the day bed when we were not using it. My set is still like new.

I have a queen size bed, and want to cover my whole bed. what size should I get?

Yes. It will cover it. I have one on a queen size bed in my guest room right now. Having said that, it will not hang all the way down the sides of the bed, but it will hang down to about the bottom of your mattress (depending on the mattress thickness). It will be very long in one direction. I put that part at the head of the bed where the pillows are and then fold it down. It is great for covering beds that pets like to go on!! When it arrives it will smell strange, but just wash and dry it (it comes out of the dryer just fine) and all of the odor will be gone.

I wouldn't think you would need to cover it unless there is alot of water running right into it. The winter covers are to keep more to keep the cold weather from coming through the unit and when you aren't using it for prolonged periods. Under regular conditions I would say no, and definitely not while in use.

The company says that it should be on a hard surface with no padding/insulation on top or beneath as it can cause overheating and thus a fire hazard. It seems many people are successfully using the bed that way but just thought I would pass on the official answer to that question

Yes, we usually put the cover on. Used it a bunch of times last season, love the look. We ALWAYS make sure to remove ashes and cool, then cover if rain is expected.

I have a king and it is a high bed so it almost reaches the floor - with a bedskirt is would be totally covered - it is a good size - but be careful - some are bedspreads and some are quilts.

Most experts I've spoken to, agree on not covering the entire unit. The cover is designed to keep debris from getting inside, it's not about moisture.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0083FYI0CI also bought this one. It is nice. If there is queen size and you also like the style,you can consider. It covers to the floor

Just use mattress pad on top whether padded or quilted ,no need to zip it up make sure its covered with the pad fully.

No need to. The bamboo mattress cover is waterproof and is a must! The mattress itself doesn't need any pads.

The cover does not completely cover the 4 cleteholes but iI think the stake holes are further in towards the bed so they should be covered

I agree with what SK said. It does provide enough coverage for a king bed with no canopies if that helps.

no it does not need to be covered-- the preschool i worked at had sands alive on a shelf uncovered for 4 months and it was just like new even after not being used for 60 hrs or more and there was a couple of weeks of vacation in there also. so the answer to the question NO

No, covering it with another sheet would inhibit the effectiveness of the product. Needs to be touching your skin.

Sorry Keith, mine did not come with a cover but I didn't think it needed a cover. I put a queen sized (my size bed) mattress cover over it and then my fitted sheets. It's a bit tight but in a good way (you can almost bounce a quarter on it!). I let it air out for a day and then put the covers over it and it was great. Hope that helps :)
