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.

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.

No. I bought a cover at Walmart for $10. It's actually a fitted sheet style mattress protector and it works great :)

It does not cover the bottom of the mattress or have a zipper. It isn't a full cover. It has elastic in the corners that wraps around each corner.

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.

Correct. The mattress cover protects the mattress and helps keep the sheets from wrinkling.

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.

It is a very nice mattress cover. It will protect the mattress; was up well and add a feel of rich ess tot he bed. It does not provide any extra support

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. the cover has a soft seal which is attached to the bottom of the cover and set between the cover and the bed rail. Rick

The only thing that will (help) protect you from bedbugs in a hotel is inspecting your hotel room (bed, box spring, headboard etc.) for signs of bedbugs upon arrival and moving on if you do indeed see signs, and even then it's not 100% guaranteed that bedbugs aren't present especially if there is a new infestation. If they're hungry, they will find a way to get to you and no sheet or clothing can protect you from it. Unfortunately, this is the kind of thing we have to worry about whilst traveling these days.

It doesn't come with a cover. I use thee to keep my son from rolling out of bed so they are under a mattress pad and sheet.

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.

no where on this product does it say that it helps with bed bugs... it helps with dust mites. i am returning the product because it doesn't help with bed bugs. i got pillow protectors from saferest and that product does protect against bed bugs & dust mites.

These encasements will protect against bugs and insects from biting. Bed Bugs are a huge problem in dorms.A soft mattress pad for additional comfort may be used to cover the encasements. The encasements also provide a fluid barrier. For easy installation, stand the mattress on end and simply zip on the encasements

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.

Yes, it does. I wouldn't keep the solid cover on all the time though as I it can block the ventilation too. The mesh does a great job for most of the instances, it keeps pests, people and animals away. The solid cover folds nicely into a zippered back pocket.
