What's the difference between the box spring cover and mattress cover?

The mattress cover is 12" deep, the box spring encasement is only 9" deep. So, if you have a thinner mattress, it might work fine, they are stretchy. However, someone said the mattress cover is also waterproof. I have only the box spring one so I don't know.

I'm wondering the same thing because the measurements in the descriptions say they're the same size but the mattress cover is more expensive. I'm sitting here debating if I should save some money and get two box spring covers or just get one of each to be safe. Wish you could have gotten a real answer instead of a smartass one :/

This protector covers the entire mattress. Top, bottom, and all sides. Additional note-does not cover mattress box spring too.

I wish I could be of more help, but I don't know the answer to your question. Beds are usually of a standard (US) size. The mattress and box springs are covered separately--in other words a cover for the mattress and another cover for the box springs. I think most beds are a queen size. The fit on these covers was perfect. You don't have to "size up" or "size down". Hope this is of some help.

We bought a queen for a queen mattress and NO it does not encase the mattress and box spring.Must get one with a zipper, which was my mistake. However, I called my allergist office and said cover does not have to be totally encased as long as covered. Hope this answer helps.

The foam mattress does not have springs enclosed while the Inner Spring mattress has actually springs embedded in between the layers of cotton or padding. The Inner Spring mattress seems to be more comfortable or at least my grandchildren seem to sleep better on it, maybe because it is more like their bed mattress at home.

We have noticed no difference in having the cover. There is absolutely no heat build up that we are aware of. We find it to be just what we were looking for using it on our Tempurpedic mattress.

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 bag fits the mattress only. You need to buy another if you want the box springs covered as well. These bags are so strong you wont be disappointed. Many of the other brands tear when you try to use them. These are tops !

This cover only goes over the mattress. I haven't found a need for one to go over my box spring at this time.

Sorry not sure what the difference is. Mattress is sagging already. Can turn, but not flip. So have to replace soon

It is just a mattress protector. Encase does sell box spring covers. The mattress protector is plenty deep, so it's possible to fit it around the box springs and mattress. I have a memory foam mattress on a platform sleigh bed, so no box springs.

I never thought to measure the depth of my box springs but I noticed that the covers are not a tight fit, I don't think I would've liked that. The covers are a little loose but it doesn't create a problem as we just moved the extra towards the middle ( there are two for a king size bed). No problem and so easy to put on.

Hi I personally don't know difference. I had a queen latex for 10 years and loved it- I needed a king bed and should have bought this from the start- after sleeping on it now for 2-3 months I am still very happy with my choice.

It's actually a bag that fits over the entire mattress ( top and bottom ) and then is sealed with tape. I know some people seal the box spring and mattress in one bag but my mattress was too big. I only needed to cover the mattress to move. The moving company didnt requir that I seal the box springs. If you are using this as a hygiene item I would seal each seperately.

The mattress topper has a fitted skirt so basically it tucks under the box spring instead of the mattress, i bought sheets that do the same so i didn't have to worry about it, but my regular sheets that I've used in between washes, never slipped off or had any problems, however my boyfriend says it slips off when he sleeps but he tosses and turns a lot. Hope this helps!

I don't know. It should. The measurements are on the packaging. You will have to measure your mattress and box spring to compare. The fabric does have some give in it but if it's too tight it will put pressure on the zipper. The zipper is well made. I bought a plastic cover that lasted a week. This is more expensive but has held up for over two months. So far so good!

The foam bridge's texture keeps it in place. You can remove it as well. We use a topper that also helps keep it in place and helps hide the seam and works great with no problems. We tried the straps around both mattress to keep them from separating and it worked fine but find it's not necessary if your box springs are solid or stiff.
