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.

Golly - I don't honestly know! It protects against mites & bedbugs! I'm 70 & have no bed setters in the house! It is washable (but not dryer). I would suggest putting a piece of plastic under this for safety sake. Sorry I can't be of more help. Or put it on & put the plastic under the mattress pad. It is not easy to put on - takes 2 - 3 people. Preserve it as long as you can!

No, it is not cotton because it is water and fluid resistant. It is a synthetic but it is not 100% vinyl. It is zippered. I have seen several types and like this one the best. Our pest control guy recommended covers in general since we rent out several furnished apartments and a good offense is a must. He cautioned that this does not mean you will not get bed bugs but only that they will have fewer places to hide.

I have no idea if it is good against bed bugs. We bought ours for medical reasons. This does encase the entire mattress if that helps and the quality of the product is very good. We would buy this product again.

This is not a fully encased (zippered) protector, and is not the best choice if protection from bed bugs is your main concern.

Wow, this is a flea product, I have no idea why you would think it would prevent bed bugs. Sorry!!

Protect A Bed was my brand of choice because they have been independantly tested and passed all quality control tests. It depends on what you want the encasement for though. Are you actually concerned about bed bugs? Like me did you get a second hand mattress and just want to cover it? If you aren't worried about bed bugs then there are several other brands that are cheaper and would probably work just as well. I absolutely love my protect a bed encasement. Our son sometimes gets in our bed at night if he has a bad dream and wets the bed on occasion too. It worked perfectly as a waterproof encasement.

It will protect your mattress, but you will still have to strip the bed and if you don't have a backup mattress cover you may have a problem. Also when I washed and dried the cool sheild it the plastic covering started to deteriorate after just the first wash. I've opted to go to a full plastic mattress cover.

Never have had bedbugs, Vanessa, but don't want them either! We just got a new bed & wanted protection - this was highly recommended to us. It does take about 3 people to get it on, but well worth it. We travel a lot, so I always worry about what we might bring home. Feel much safer now that I have this. Hope this helps.

Well the description says it repels bed bugs. It will help repel pests, but it's not the end all and be all. If you have an infestation of bed bugs already, it's not going to eliminate them.

The bamboo cover helps the mattress to breath and inhibit bacteria growth but does not protect from water getting into the mattress and causeing bacteria. I would still recommend a waterproof cover if your worried about water damage.

This cover fits to the inside of your bed rail and flush with the top of the bed. If that helps any.

These are not fully encased But Safe rest has fully encased ones that protect against bed bugs. As a hotel owner I have Safe Rest on over 100 beds!

Yes. I was told that bed bugs live in the box spring and just move around the mattress. I have the cover for both mattress and box spring
